NASHVILLE, Tenn., and CHICAGO, Jul 24, 2003 /PRNewswire-FirstCall via COMTEX/ — Allscripts Healthcare Solutions (Nasdaq: MDRX), the leading provider of
clinical software and information solutions for physicians, announced today
that Corrections Corporation of America (NYSE: CXW) has selected the
TouchWorks(TM) modular Electronic Medical Record as their clinical automation
solution. The nation’s largest owner and operator of privatized correctional
and detention facilities, CCA will implement the full suite of TouchWorks
applications for more than 200 healthcare providers across 59 correctional
facilities. Allscripts estimated the value of the license agreement, signed
this month, to be in excess of $2 million.

“We selected the TouchWorks EMR because their modular approach offered CCA
the most rapid installation and the easiest solution to implement with our
providers,” said John Pfeiffer, Vice President of Technology and Chief
Information Officer for Corrections Corporation of America. “TouchWorks
technology will improve the lives of the inmates under our care and will
provide a significantly higher level of health services accountability and
quality to our government partners.”

TouchWorks will give CCA a competitive advantage in their marketplace,
providing operational efficiencies and patient safety for managed inmates.
Using TouchWorks, multiple physicians treating the same patients will have
access anytime and anywhere to critical care data.

“In their competitive evaluation, CCA concluded that TouchWorks would be
the most streamlined application to automate their healthcare professionals,”
commented Glen Tullman, Chief Executive Officer of Allscripts Healthcare
Solutions. “With an aggressive goal of bringing their first facilities live
prior to year’s end, TouchWorks was a logical choice.”
