Leerink Swann downgraded Allscripts-Misys Healthcare (NASDAQ: MDRX) from Outperform to Market Perform with a price target range $20-$21 from $22-23.

Analyst, David Larsen, said, "We believe that Allscripts has leading market share in the ambulatory space, and we believe the ambulatory and facility products are excellent. The brand recognition of Allscripts is very high, and we suspect that many physicians will migrate toward Allscripts over the next few years. However, we believe that the bookings bar has been set very high, at "upper-teens" growth, we estimate that with 180,000 doctors in the network, the law of large numbers is working against Allscripts, and we believe there are still technology integration challenges on both the ambulatory and inpatient side of the business."
