Job losses follow Allscripts-Misys merger

Misys Healthcare Systems and Allscripts let go 44 people as the two software companies merged into a single business. Glen Tullman, CEO of the new Allscripts-Misys Healthcare Solutions, said the terminated jobs were redundant and that the newly combined company is trying to fill more than 100 vacancies in software sales and product installation. The new company's business plan is to sell Allscripts products to Misys customers. Allscripts supplies electronic health records to about 40,000 physicians.
