The data shares count when an application either receives or delivers data to an Allscripts clinical solution. In 2016 alone, Allscripts expects to facilitate 1.6 billion data shares.

“For each of the last several years, we have more than doubled the number of data shares facilitated by Allscripts Open APIs,” said Stanley Crane, chief innovation officer with Allscripts. “We hear from healthcare professionals that sending, receiving and repurposing patient data using API-connected tools makes them more intuitive and user-friendly.”
