Allscripts

The fall-out from the banking crisis is still hobbling growth at financial services and healthcare software provider Misys but the company is encouraged by growth in its order intake.
Revenue in the six months to the end of November rose 29% to Ј361m from Ј280m a year earlier, but was down 1% on a pro-forma constant currency basis. Pro-forma adjustments assume Allscripts healthcare operations were combined on 1 June 2008.

 Allscripts announced today an agreement with Intuit Inc. to become the first to offer Quicken Health(SM) Bill Pay. The online service integrates with Allscripts' practice management and revenue cycle management solutions, used by 110,000 physicians, to help patients understand their medical bills and pay them online while helping physicians get paid faster.
