Allscripts will integrate scheduling technology from Opargo, a software-as-a-service platform, to enhance its Allscripts Practice Management revenue cycle software.
Opargo uses predictive analytics to improve scheduling practices, such as making sure health systems have enough slots available for patients needing multiple appointments at a quick turnaround. Opargo's software also helps organize last-minute appointment cancellations and rescheduling.
"Opargo is using data and predictive analytics in new and exciting ways that are making a difference in healthcare, and Allscripts is thrilled to be part of it," Allscripts President Rick Poulton said in a news release. "We have seen optimization work in other industries and look forward to seeing it make a huge impact with our Allscripts customer base."
