Allscripts launches industry’s first machine learning EHR

Allscripts Healthcare Solutions (NASDAQ:MDRX) unveiled its new electronic health record, Avenel™, at the annual HIMSS conference today. Mobile-first and cloud-based, Avenel creates a community-wide shared patient record, uses machine learning to reduce time for clinical documentation and is designed to work like an app instead of traditional software.

As quoted in the press release:

“This new solution is not simply an iteration of legacy systems,” said Jim Hewitt, EVP of Solutions Development for Allscripts. “It is an entirely new approach to the EHR. Our objective with Avenel is to get the technology out of the way, so clinicians can focus on the patient.”

Built on Microsoft Azure, Avenel streamlines workflows and “gets smarter with every use,” Hewitt noted. The solution integrates clinicians’ treatment patterns and provides reminders of preferences to facilitate faster documentation and decision making.
