Johnson University Hospital (RWJUH) extended its commitment to
Allscripts (NASDAQ: MDRX) Sunrise™ as its core electronic health
record (EHR) until 2020, and will expand its use of Allscripts
Sunrise clinical solutions for its newly acquired facility, RWJ
Somerset, in Somerville, New
Jersey. In addition, the organization has announced that it
has selected Allscripts TouchWorks® EHR ambulatory
solution to support care and patient management efforts for Robert
Wood Johnson Physician Enterprise

"We believe this is a tremendous opportunity for our
organization to utilize a high-performing EHR to create a single,
patient record platform," said Bob
Irwin, CIO of RWJUH. "This integrated record combined with
the power of Allscripts Sunrise and Allscripts Touchworks will
continue to help us deliver our mission to promote health and
well-being for the patients and communities we serve."
Allscripts TouchWorks EHR will be deployed at RWJPE to support
the organization's clinical and population health goals. RWJPE is a
network of physicians in Central New

challenges facing healthcare organizations.

management solution designed to maximize care coordination and
improving efficiencies by automating complex and labor intensive
operational processes from bed management to transport and

Allscripts Hosting solutions provide a robust, secure and
reliable IT Infrastructure to help clients meet the challenges of
growing patient volumes, changing regulatory environments and
shifting payment models.
RWJUH has campuses in New
Brunswick, Rahway,

hospital of Robert Wood Johnson Health System, a premier health
system with $1.5 billion dollars in
revenue, more than 10,100 employees, 3,250 medical staff members

tremendous success with Allscripts Sunrise and intend to leverage
this experience with the implementation of Allscripts
TouchWorks. These solutions will support our efforts to create
an environment of excellence with the highest quality,
evidence-based patient care," added Mr. Irwin.

partnership with Allscripts," said Paul M.
