There are also a large number of hospitals using Amisys on a HP-3000 system.
Down the road these are also organizations that will be faced with complex
and difficult migrations issues, costs, etc. Any Amisys folks have any
numbers on HP-3000 Amisys sites for us?

The last I knew of these things, in 2000, there were around 200 Amisys
sites.
I have heard Amisys is looking to convert the whole application to run on
Unix. They will use Micro Focus Cobol, Cognos Powerhouse for Unix, Supertool
for Unix and Oracle RDBMS to recreate the environment. This sounds a lot
like the aborted Amisys Client/Server product. If it is then they may be
able to bring it to market sooner rather than later.
I have not heard if they are going to do a vendor specific Unix flavor. They
are a VAR for HP and do a land office business in HP hardware so it is a
safe bet that  it will, at least,  run under some form of  *NIX (that's @NIX
for us MPE folks) that HP supports.
The opinions expressed herein are my own and not necessarily those of my
employer.
