Allscripts Reviews

Pros

You are able to have a clear vision of how you are helping the clients and how the company is helping the clients.

Cons

The only real downside is the recent organizational changes that have caused extra work. Once the changes are out of the way, it will be smooth once again.

Advice to Senior Management

Continue to improve the products to answer the needs of the market place. Drive innovation on current technologies and continue to open the code where Sunrise can become the platform for solutions rather than the complete solution.

Pros

Applications are in demand, although there are numerous client complaints related to the performance of several applications; EHR, PFM, etc

Cons

No professional development. They preach professional development but, in the end, it does not matter. There is tremendous lack of knowlege at the management level. Some technical solutions (platforms) used are a bit outdated, and MIS is costantly scrambling to keep up with the rest of the IT community.

senior management needs improvement

Advice to Senior Management

Pros

innovative company, belief that ideas come from everywhere, really big on philanthropy

Cons

expected to work weekends and lots in evenings. people never "unplug". Work travel often happens on weekends.

Advice to Senior Management

create a "suggestion box" for big ideas. Always say ideas aer welcomed but there's no mechanism for them to bubble-up.

Pros

It is an exciting place to work with all of the acquisitions that the company is making.

Cons

There is little standardization of processes across the company. Everyone talks of "legacy" company origins and the way this are done for that legacy part of the company. There should be one way to do the same thing within the company.
