Allscripts Extended Care
Former Allscripts hospital discharge planning and referral software (ECIN), now CarePort by WellSky; login at extendedcare.com.
Our take: This is not an EHR.
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.
www.extendedcare.com is the logon site for CarePort Care Management, CarePort Referral Management and CarePort Referral Intake, and says the system is the property of WellSky Corporation. WellSky client support is 866.790.8690.
Allscripts sold its CarePort Health business to WellSky for $1.35 billion; the deal closed on 31 December 2020, according to Allscripts' annual report. allscripts.com now redirects to Veradigm, which no longer owns this product.
Allscripts Extended Care now lives on as CarePort by WellSky; use extendedcare.com to log in and WellSky for support.

Best / not good for
- Hospital case managers and discharge planners

Friction report
Trade-offs to know before signing up.
- Time to valueSlow: there is no self-serve sign-up; organizations get access through WellSky.
- Scale breakpointContract and support complexity grows significantly at multi-site scale; per-facility customization increases implementation overhead.
- Walled gardenHigh: referral records and workflows live in CarePort's shared system.
