OKLAHOMA CITY and CHICAGO, Mar 19, 2003 /PRNewswire-FirstCall via COMTEX/ —

Leading Group Selects Integrated AHS and IDX Clinical and Practice Management Solution

Allscripts Healthcare Solutions (Nasdaq: MDRX), the leading provider of clinical
software and information solutions for physicians, announced today that INTEGRIS
Health selected the full TouchWorks(TM) modular Electronic Medical Record
(mEMR(TM)) solution. The state’s largest Oklahoma-owned health system, INTEGRIS
originally wanted to automate their physician group practice prescribing
process, but ultimately decided to implement the full suite of TouchWorks
software, recognizing the value of a complete electronic medical record for
office practice.

“What started out as a hunt for an e-prescribing tool turned out to be the
solution to our search for a practice EMR,” said Stanley Hupfeld, Chief
Executive Officer of INTEGRIS Health. “We’re impressed with the innovative
features of TouchWorks and we look forward to delivering the benefits of this
full clinical solution to our physicians and their patients.”

INTEGRIS simultaneously selected the GroupCast solution from IDX Systems
Corporation, citing the integration between their practice management system and
TouchWorks as a key factor in their decision.

“By selecting both the TouchWorks and GroupCast solutions, INTEGRIS will enable
their physicians to focus on patient care while automating and improving
workflow within their organization,” commented Glen Tullman, Chief Executive
Officer of Allscripts Healthcare Solutions. “TouchWorks and GroupCast from IDX
work together to reduce physicians’ administrative workload, leading to higher
quality and more efficient patient care.”

Through a 10-year strategic alliance, AHS and IDX have fostered strong
integration between clinical automation and practice management systems, making
TouchWorks the natural choice for clinical automation among IDX customers.
