We're an independent review site, not WellSky or Veradigm. Allscripts Extended Care traces back to ECIN, a hospital care management and discharge planning company Allscripts bought at the end of 2007. The extendedcare.com login now belongs to CarePort, a care coordination business Allscripts sold to WellSky in a deal that closed on 31 December 2020. There is no public pricing.

What it really isHospital care management, discharge planning and post-acute referral software, now sold as CarePort by WellSky.
Our takeThis is not an EHR.
ECIN, which Allscripts bought at the end of 2007, made hospital care management and discharge planning software that connects case managers with nursing homes, home health agencies and other post-acute providers. Today the same extendedcare.com login runs CarePort Care Management, Referral Management and Referral Intake, owned by WellSky since the deal closed on 31 December 2020.
Why we rate itThe software connects hospital discharge planners with post-acute providers for referrals in one system, and users of the old Allscripts Extended Care login now land on CarePort.
The catchNo public pricing, and the product has changed owners and names (ECIN, Allscripts, CarePort, WellSky), so older guides and logins may be out of date.

Trade-offs

Friction report

Trade-offs to know before signing up.

  1. Time to value
    Slow: there is no self-serve sign-up; organizations get access through WellSky.
  2. Scale breakpoint
    Contract and support complexity grows significantly at multi-site scale; per-facility customization increases implementation overhead.
  3. Walled garden
    High: referral records and workflows live in CarePort's shared system.
