Group Adds TouchWorks Charge Capture, Dictation, Document Management Solutions

WILLMAR, Minn., and CHICAGO, Apr 24, 2003 /PRNewswire-FirstCall via COMTEX/ — Allscripts Healthcare Solutions (Nasdaq: MDRX), the leading provider of
clinical software and information solutions focused on physicians, announced
today that Affiliated Community Medical Centers added a number of additional
TouchWorks(TM) modules as a part of their clinical automation initiative.
Already an electronic prescribing customer, ACMC will deploy TouchWorks
Charge(TM), TouchWorks Dictate(TM) and TouchWorks Document (TM) solutions in
all 8 of their clinics.

“The results we achieved from the e-prescribing software and the strength
of the AHS vision encouraged us to consider the rest of the TouchWorks EMR
solution to address our clinical automation needs,” commented Terry Tone,
Administrator, Affiliated Community Medical Centers. “TouchWorks technology
will help ACMC maintain our position at the forefront of health care so we can
continue bringing the best medical services to our patients and communities.”

ACMC first implemented e-prescribing in 2001. Through an innovative
partnership with Blue Cross/Blue Shield of Minnesota, ACMC received funding to
improve patient care with TouchWorks e-prescribing technology. Since then,
ACMC and AHS have worked together to enhance the program, resulting in
improved safety for ACMC patients and increased workflow efficiency for ACMC
physicians. The new applications that ACMC is adding will enable physicians to
use the same wireless handheld iPAQ(TM) Pocket PC(TM) device from Hewlett-
Packard for electronic prescribing, dictating notes and capturing professional
charges. All of the information will be accessible anywhere, at anytime from
a secured, web-based document repository.

“Our ability to deliver results was a key component of this expanded
agreement with ACMC,” noted Glen Tullman, Chief Executive Officer of
Allscripts Healthcare Solutions. “This is a good example of the modular
nature of our application, enabling a customer to start with a single
application and add more functionality and more value over time.”
