Allscripts to sell CarePort Health business to WellSky
Summary
Allscripts expects the net after-tax proceeds to be used to invest in its solutions, further deleverage the company’s balance sheet and support significant share repurchases. “WellSky is a great company that will provide both an ideal and permanent home for CarePort and its almost 200 team members,” said Rick Poulton, Allscripts President and Chief Financial Officer. It’s WellSky’s mission to realize care’s potential, and this moves us that much closer to achieving it.” William Blair and J.P. Morgan Securities, LLC acted as financial advisors to Allscripts in connection with the sale of CarePort.
