Altera Digital Health, formerly the Allscripts Hospitals and Large Physician Practices business segment, a global leader in healthcare IT, has signed a multi-year agreement with Singapore's largest public healthcare group, SingHealth, for the use of its Sunrise suite of healthcare IT solutions across its group of institutions.

The partnership is an extension of an agreement signed with Allscripts in 2017, and will continue through to 2029 and provide SingHealth with ongoing support of Altera Digital Health's electronic medical record (EMR) platform.

SingHealth, supported by the national HealthTech agency Integrated Health Information Systems (IHiS), has used the Sunrise Clinical Manager System since 1998, and the comprehensive EMR platform suite will continue to elevate SingHealth's multi-disciplinary and integrated care approach for more than 20,000 healthcare professionals in its network of acute hospitals, national specialty centres, community hospitals and polyclinics, which serves more than half of Singapore's population.
