Allscripts Developer Program, a health IT innovation initiative within the Chicago-based EHR vendor's business, launched a new program that aims to increase diversity across the health IT industry and expand resources for underrepresented entrepreneurs.
The new program, dubbed ADP Empower, builds on the company's developer program, which partners with developers to provide the IT tools and technologies companies need to connect their innovations with Allscripts' clients, according to a May 5 news release.
Through ADP Empower, Allscripts will offer a special package to minority-owned or led health IT companies. The empowerment package includes an official Allscripts partnership, one-on-one guidance for technical, marketing and business development best practices as well as client facing-opportunities.
Allscripts is accepting applications through May 28 for its upcoming ADP Empower cohort; the company will announce the selected cohort in June.
