Allscripts HealthMatics(R) EHR and Practice Management System Accepted By Physician Specialty Groups.

CHICAGO -- Allscripts (Nasdaq:MDRX), the leading provider of clinical software, connectivity and information solutions that physicians use to improve healthcare, today announced several sales of its Electronic Health Record and Practice Management solutions to small and mid-sized physician specialty practices during the second quarter of the year.

Physician groups from fields as diverse as cardiology and pediatrics are adopting the HealthMatics(R) Electronic Health Record (EHR), HealthMatics Ntierprise(R) Practice Management System (PMS) and the combined EHR-PMS solution, HealthMatics Office - all from Allscripts subsidiary A4 Health Systems - to streamline and speed vital clinical and administrative functions.

As highlighted by a recent report from the Institute of Medicine, Electronic Health Records with electronic prescribing functionality are vital to the promotion of patient safety. The IOM reported that more than 1.5 million people are injured each year by medication errors that could be prevented by electronic alert systems, which automatically check patients' medical records and medication histories and warn physicians of any potential harm.

"Increasing numbers of small-group specialty 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 David Bond, President of Allscripts HealthMatics group. "Whether they need a stand-alone Electronic Health Record, a stand-alone Practice Management System or our fully integrated HealthMatics Office product, Allscripts enables specialty practices to effectively and efficiently manage their clinical, administrative and financial functions."

Between April and June of this year, Allscripts solutions were adopted by numerous specialty physicians across the U.S., including:

--The cardiology group Eastern Carolina Cardiovascular, with nine cardiologists in seven offices across Elizabeth City, NC, which will implement HealthMatics Ntierprise.

--Obstetrics and Gynecology groups including Twin City OB-Gyn, a solo-physician office in Monroe, LA that implemented HealthMatics Office.

--Orthopedic groups including Associates in Orthopedics and Sports Medicine in Cambridge, MA, which will implement HealthMatics EHR for five orthopedic surgeons.

--Gastroenterologist groups including Gastroenterology Consultants Of Greater Cincinnati, which will implement HealthMatics Ntierprise for 12 physicians in 12 locations across the Cincinnati area.

--Dermatology groups including Atlanta Dermatology Vein & Research, a two-physician group in Alpharetta, GA that will implement HealthMatics Office.

--Multi-Specialty groups including Athens Medical Group in Crawfordsville, IN, which will implement HealthMatics Office for 16 physicians in seven practice locations.

In addition, a number of primary care groups selected HealthMatics, including:

--Phoenix Pediatrics, which will implement both HealthMatics EHR and HealthMatics Ntierprise for nine physicians and four physician assistants in Phoenix, AZ; and Chippenham Pediatric and Adolescent Medicine, in Richmond, VA, which will implement HealthMatics Office for eight physicians in two locations
