Frequently asked questions
Allscripts scores F on the API Report Card. Veradigm (formerly Allscripts) runs a developer program with free FHIR R4 and DSTU2 endpoints plus the far richer proprietary Unity REST API. Unity requires a paid Integrator subscription tiered from Bronze to Platinum Plus, plus Veradigm Connect certification before production data flows.
Without a usable official API, teams fall back on manual exports, file drops, or one-off vendor integrations. The other option is an unofficial API layer like Supergood that automates the authenticated web app directly.
Allscripts is the legacy ambulatory and acute EHR portfolio that was rebranded to Veradigm in January 2023 after the company sold its hospital/large-physician-practice business (Sunrise, TouchWorks, Paragon, dbMotion, etc.) to Constellation Software's Harris Computer in mid-2022.
Vertical: Healthcare (ambulatory EHR + practice management + revenue cycle + payer/life-sciences data). Front-office staff use Veradigm Practice Management for scheduling, registration, eligibility verification, and copay collection.
Veradigm/Allscripts has lost meaningful ambulatory share over the past five years but is still one of the top-5 US ambulatory EHR vendors, with industry trackers putting its ambulatory share at roughly 3-4% (down from high single-digits a decade ago) and Practice Fusion adding tens of thousands of small-practice users on top.
Yes, Veradigm EHR, Practice Management, and Practice Fusion are systems of record for the entire ambulatory operation.
The Allscripts lineage dates back to 1986 (founded as Medic Computer Systems / Misys Healthcare lineage that merged with Allscripts in 2008), making the platform nearly 40 years old.
Full proprietary Unity API access requires a paid Integrator subscription with multiple tiers, there is no free path to the non-FHIR data surface. Mandatory Veradigm Connect certification adds review time and gatekeeping before any production data can flow to a third-party app. Full sourced list under Sources below.

Grades measure one thing: can a customer's engineering team get their own data out programmatically? We check six things (whether a real API exists, how access is gated, data coverage, auth quality, docs and developer experience, and stability) and roll them into a letter grade. Grades get re-verified, and they only move on evidence.
Yes. Supergood maintains an unofficial Allscripts API and MCP server so AI agents and internal tools can read and write Allscripts data. See the Allscripts integration docs at supergood.ai/docs/allscripts-api.
