I lean toward "Bust"

Analysis of: Analyst: $850M opportunity for Allscripts with merger | www.forbes.com

Analysis By:
James Leonard
Chief Information Officer, The Regional Medical Center at Memphis
Implications: Difficulty in turning the potential opportunity into sales     

Analysis: I'm inclined to agree with the JP Morgan analyst in the thought that the new company will not capture a significant portion of the EMR business represented by the installed base of Misys' Practice Management.

There is thought that Misys customers will adopt AllScripts' TouchWorks EMR at the same rate IDX customers did. Likely not the case considering the somewhat luke warm customer satisfaction of Misys customers compared to IDX and the recent painful news regarding TouchWorks v11 upgrades and new installs.
