Israel’s Center for Digital Innovation (CDI) and Allscripts have partnered to establish a CDI-Allscripts lab in Beer Sheva to connect Israeli digital health startups and entrepreneurs to the US healthcare market, Globes first reports. As part of the partnership, digital health startups will have access to Allscripts Open APIs with the opportunity to participate in Allscripts Developer Program.
“This collaboration with Allscripts will drive a unique platform to promote innovation and startups in Israel. Allscripts is a leader in the healthcare information industry with a huge footprint in the US. This partnership will empower entrepreneurs in the digital healthcare space in their attempts to penetrate the US market,” stated Ziv Ofek, CEO of CDI.
