Allscripts Healthcare Solutions Inc. (MDRX - Free Report) recently announced that NY-based Wyckoff Heights Medical Center has selected the Sunrise Abstracting solution.

What is Sunrise Abstracting solution?

Sunrise Abstracting complements the company’s flagship Allscripts Sunrise electronic health record (EHR).

Per management, it is a powerful chart-abstracting solution that establishes the highest level of documentation and coding quality for healthcare providers.

Wyckoff Heights selected the platform to address the issues of fragmented coding workflow and potential coding inaccuracies while providing a strong reporting solution.

Furthermore, Grants Pass, an existing EHR client of the company, adopted Allscripts PM along with revenue cycle management services.
