Wolters Kluwer, the company that owns Medi-Span, is making changes to the way it distributes the quarterly drug database updates. After June 30th 2011 they will no longer ship the updates via CD. Instead, they will publish the updates to a website to be downloaded. This means there will be one more CD update covering 2Q11. After that customers will need to download the updates from the website.
This affects our Allscripts Clients. We have partnered with Wolters Kluwer to take care of the whole process for our Clients. We will create the necessary website account and set up the process. For those Clients that we manage the Medi-Span updates, we will download and install them when they are released. We will be notified by Wolters Kluwer when updates are released. At that point we will download the updates and schedule an after hours installation.
In order for Allscripts Clients to be able to utilize the downloadable updates Allscripts must be at version 7.0.1.36 or higher. Clients that wish to have us take care of the registration process can simply contact our office.
