Advisors' Opinion:

• [By Keith Speights]

  As you might expect, large EHR systems vendors enthusiastically welcomed passage of HITECH. What company wouldn't enjoy having the government pay customers to buy its products and fine them if they didn't? Allscripts (NASDAQ: MDRX  ) reported total revenue of $548 million in the fiscal year ending in May 2009. At the end of 2012, the company's annual revenue topped $1.4 billion -- thanks in no small part to Uncle Sam.

• [By Sean Williams]

  What: Shares of Allscripts Healthcare Solutions (NASDAQ: MDRX  ) , a health care information technology company, jumped as much as 10% after the company announced better-than-expected preliminary second-quarter booking results.

• [By Dan Caplinger]

  One big opportunity that Quality Systems will try to cash in on this year is the trend toward medical professionals switching their electronic-health-records vendors. With one survey showing that as many as 1-in-6 of every users wanting to make a change, the industry could go through a big upheaval. Unfortunately for Quality Systems, its customer rankings are relatively low, and it appears that rival athenahealth (NASDAQ: ATHN  ) could end up drawing business away from Quality Systems and peer Allscripts (NASDAQ: MDRX  ) based on their respective perceptions by customers.
