Allscripts Healthcare Solutions, Inc. (MDRX - Free Report) is expected to gain from encouraging developments and focus on innovation.
However, in a year’s time, the Zacks Rank #2 (Buy) stock has slipped 24.9% compared with the industry’s 7.3% decline. The current level also compares unfavorably with the S&P 500 index’s 4.8% rally.
Let’s take a look at the factors which are favoring the stock.
Factors Driving the Stock
Lucrative Deals
Allscripts has inked a number of deals in recent times.
For instance, the company recently announced the availability of Apple Health Records for Allscripts Sunrise, TouchWorks and Professional EHR (electronic health record) clients and their patients. This brings together hospitals, clinics and the existing Apple Health app for easier access to one’s health data from multiple providers at all times.
The latest provision is an addition to Allscripts’ vigorous patient engagement portfolio, which includes Allscripts FollowMyHealth, Allscripts’ patient engagement solution. With this opportunity, the company hopes to improve its foothold in the healthcare information technology market.
Moreover, Allscripts’ flagship Veradigm unit entered into a long-term partnership with Komodo Health with a view to advance healthcare research.
