September 2, 2010 (FinancialWire) (Go to http://www.financialwire.net/?s=ftrdnwswnd for all of today’s featured news.) — Allscripts (NASDAQ: MDRX) has closed the merger of Allscripts-Misys Healthcare Solutions, Inc. with Eclipsys Corp. The combined company, Allscripts Healthcare Solutions, Inc., launches with a focus on enabling healthcare providers nationwide to collaborate through connected healthcare communities.

The post-merger Allscripts will be focused exclusively on healthcare information technology. The firm has more than 5,500 employees and combined 2009 pro forma revenues of around $1.2 billion. The company boasts a client base of 180,000 physicians, 1,500 hospitals and 10,000 nursing homes, homecare agencies and other post-acute organizations.

The company addresses the widespread lack of information connectivity in the U.S. healthcare system –– which makes it difficult for providers in hospitals, physician offices, nursing homes and other care settings to access and share information that is important to delivering patient care.

Illinois-based Allscripts offers clinical, financial, connectivity and information solutions for hospitals, physicians and post-acute organizations.
