In addition to Mr. Tullman’s address, five Allscripts clients will deliver presentations at the prestigious WHCC conference, which is co-sponsored by the Wall Street Journal and each year attracts thousands of executives from healthcare, pharmaceutical and managed care companies, as well as government leaders who gather to formulate solutions to the escalating challenges of delivering high quality, cost-effective patient care.

“In the search for solutions to our nation’s healthcare crisis, there is nearly universal agreement that information technology holds the key,” said Mr. Tullman, who also serves as Co-Chairman of the National ePrescribing Patient Safety Initiative, a $100 million campaign to eliminate medication errors by offering free electronic prescribing to every physician in America. “Allscripts is convinced that by providing physicians, patients, payers and other key stakeholders with the critical information they need, when they need it, we can indeed transform healthcare and deliver on the promise of higher quality care delivered more cost effectively.”

Following Mr. Tullman’s address on Monday afternoon, he will moderate a discussion on the transformative power of information technology, with panel members:

— Michael Critelli, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer of Pitney Bowes,
Inc.
— Linda Dillman, Executive Vice President of Risk Management, Benefits
and Sustainability (and formerly Chief Information Officer) for
Wal-Mart Stores, Inc.

Health Affairs, the U.S. Department of Defense
— Brent C. James, MD, Vice President for Medical Research and Executive

Earlier on Monday, Mr. Tullman will introduce Stephen L. Badger, Chief Executive Officer of The George Washington University Medical Faculty Associates, an Allscripts client and one of the country’s most sophisticated users of Electronic Health Records, who is chairing the Congress’s “Group Practice CEO/Medical Director Summit.” The Summit features 16 executives and physicians from medical groups across the nation who will meet to share success stories and questions on a variety of issues relevant to physician practices, including engaging physicians in technology adoption; pay-for-performance strategies; innovations in quality improvement; and best practices for implementing Electronic Health Records.

The Group Practice CEO/Medical Director Summit, which runs Monday through Tuesday, includes four Allscripts clients in addition to Mr. Badger:

Cumming, GA, who was recently named the Physician IT Leader of the Year
by the Healthcare Information and Management Systems Society (HIMSS)

Kingsport, TN and the chair of Tennessee Governor Phil Bredesen’s

who is leading the expansion of the USF group to fully automate the
