Allscripts CEO: Consumerism, machine learning to be key in 2019

Health IT giant Allscripts Healthcare Solutions will have a massive footprint on the HIMSS19 exhibit floor. It will be showcasing its popular electronic health record system and other related technologies. And the company will be focusing discussions with HIMSS19 attendees on two trends it says are key in 2019: consumers demanding better healthcare and technology experiences and machine learning gleaning more insights from patient data. The transition from patient to consumer has progressed, said Allscripts CEO Paul M. Black. "People are taking more ownership of their healthcare, and they expect user-friendly technologies to help them do so," he said.
