The latest in a long line of revenue cycle solutions from Allscripts, SFM breaks new ground with its Visual Workflow capabilities, allowing users to configure the financial process to meet the organization's needs and to address constantly changing regulations and payment models in the new world of accountable care.

Sunrise Financial Manager is built on the Sunrise Enterprise™ 6.0 platform.
