Item 4.01 Changes in Registrant’s Certifying Accountant

The Audit Committee (the “Audit Committee”) of the Board of Directors of Allscripts Healthcare Solutions, Inc. (the “Company”) has completed a competitive process to review the appointment of the Company’s independent registered public accounting firm for the year ending December 31, 2014.
As a result of this process, on April 2, 2014, the Audit Committee engaged Grant Thornton LLP (“Grant Thornton”) as the Company’s independent registered public accounting firm for the year ending December 31, 2014.
During the fiscal years ended December 31, 2013 and December 31, 2012, and the subsequent interim period through April 2, 2014, neither the Company nor anyone acting on its behalf has consulted with Grant Thornton with respect to (i) the application of accounting principles to a specified transaction, either completed or proposed, or the type of audit opinion that might be rendered on the Company’s financial statements, and neither a written report nor oral advice was provided to the Company that Grant Thornton concluded was an important factor considered by the Company in reaching a decision as to any accounting, auditing, or financial reporting issue or (ii) any matter that was either the subject of a “disagreement” or “reportable event” as those terms are defined in Item 304(a)(1) of Regulation S-K.
