“What we’re witnessing is “the single fastest transformation of an industry in the history of the United States.” The commentator: Glen Tullman, CEO of Allscripts. The industry: healthcare, where system vendors like Tullman’s are at the center of driving that digital transformation.

For an industry still mired in 20th century practices, an electronic overhaul in just a few years would indeed be historic.”
