Allscripts, Thoma Bravo, Vocera

Allscripts Q1 Analysis

• Pickup of 2 hospitals and one medical group practice on the sunrise EMR platform
• 6 Ambulatory business pick up
• Veradigm analytics platform has to be their core investment as Allscripts picked up 2 new health plan clients.
• Microsoft Azure partnership is also helping as Allscripts is pushing the EMR hosting and analytics platform to Azure pushing healthcare organizations towards the power of cloud solutions.
• Potential deeper discussion with Microsoft on the massive data from Allscripts on payer, pharma, ambulatory, and inpatient as a close loop ecosystem for research.
• Huge potential in the Ad business still especially with the Practice Fusion product in the portfolio. Allscripts will definitely create a new revenue stream of the health data just like the MIB Group partnership

This was a great quarter and I would not expect the same results in the future earnings. The EMR market space is capped and the only differentiator is the Veradigm product.
