CHICAGO (February 22, 2007) –

Primary care and specialty physician groups across the country are adopting the Allscripts solution to streamline and speed vital clinical and administrative functions. HealthMatics Office (http://www.allscripts.com/healthmatics) combines HealthMatics Electronic Health Record (EHR) and HealthMatics Ntierprise(R) Practice Management (PM) on one intelligent platform that provides practices with an easy-to-use patient information management solution. Between October 2006 and the end of the year, the Allscripts solutions were adopted by more than 60 physician practices across the country.

Practice leaders cited several reasons for selecting Allscripts, including the ease of use of HealthMatics Office, a strong reputation for superior client support, and the ability to deliver a seamless flow of information between the clinical and business sides of a practice.

“Allscripts gives our providers all the real-time information they need, in a package that’s easy to use and that we can support ourselves without having to hire a new IT team,” said Donna Goodman, Chief Financial Officer and Chief Operating Officer of Westside Health, Inc., a Federally Qualified Health Clinic with 17 providers in three locations across Wilmington, DE. Goodman said HealthMatics Office will enable Westside Health to quickly produce the complex quarterly reports it is required to submit. In the past, the clinic had to outsource the quality outcomes reports.

Marylou Krewson, Administrator of Digestive Disease Consultants, a small gastroenterology practice that selected HealthMatics Office for its five providers in Jacksonville, FL, expressed satisfaction with Allscripts based on the company’s years of experience serving similar specialty practices. “HealthMatics has been tried and tested for years by many GI group practices and we heard nothing but praise from them,” said Krewson. “The software is very attractive because it’s so user friendly, and if you have good people in- house, a lot of the implementation and reports generation can be taken care of right here.”

David Averbach, MD, Founder and Administrator of Atlantic Surgical Group, in Oakhurst, NJ said his group selected HealthMatics Office after using other Allscripts products for several years. “We’ve been using Allscripts Impact.MD (document management) product for years and we have had nothing but positive experiences with the company,” said Dr. Averbach, whose group includes six surgeons in two locations. “When we decided to take the next step to a full Electronic Health Record, we looked at every vendor out there and concluded Allscripts was head and shoulders above the rest.”

Similarly, the Michigan Institute of Urology in St. Clair Shores, MI selected HealthMatics EHR to complement its existing HealthMatics Ntierprise practice management system following a long history of working with Allscripts. “We’ve worked with Allscripts for many years and we have always been impressed,” said Carla Bitonti, Administrator and Director of Billing for the 24-physician group, which will implement the Electronic Health Record in nine locations. “We are excited to be implementing an Electronic Health Record that will provide patient information for our providers across multiple locations, laboratories and clinics, making us more efficient, as well as integrating with our Ntierprise system for full-circle practice management.”

HealthMatics Office enables clinical and practice management groups to work hand-in-hand for better communication and improved accuracy. HealthMatics also offers a disaster recovery solution that safeguards data and provides remote application access in the event of a failure at the primary system site.

“Increasing numbers of small and mid-sized physician practices are finding that Allscripts has the solutions they need for automating and connecting their physicians, and making their practices more efficient and safer for patients,” said Glen Tullman, Chief Executive Officer of Allscripts. “Whether they need a stand-alone Electronic Health Record or Practice Management System, or our fully integrated HealthMatics Office product, Allscripts enables practices of all sizes to effectively and efficiently manage their clinical, administrative and financial functions.”
