Eclipsys Announces Continued Market Demand for Sunrise EPSi

Academic Centers, Specialty Centers, IDNs and Community Hospital Client
Additions Tell
Story of Widespread Market Appeal of Integrated Performance Management Solutions

ATLANTA--(Business Wire)--
Eclipsys Corporation (NASDAQ: ECLP), The Outcomes Company, today announced that
Blessing Hospital, (Quincy, IL), recently joined the significant and diverse
list of health care organizations that have adopted the Sunrise EPSi integrated
suite of business performance management solutions. Ranging from large academic
centers to specialty centers to community hospitals, the rapid expansion of the
Sunrise EPSi client base demonstrates the widespread market appeal of a powerful
set of easy-to-deploy tools that are a step up from competitive legacy solutions
to deliver integrated decision support and analysis, with rapid return on
investment and minimal up-front expense.

Blessing Hospital staff members will join thousands of other clinical and
operational managers and senior executives across the country using the Sunrise
EPSi system on a daily basis to gather, analyze and display enterprise-wide
information to improve operational performance.

"In selecting Sunrise EPSi, we`re going beyond conventional decision-support
tools to take advantage of the latest technology to gain a competitive edge in
our market," said Patrick Gerveler, chief financial officer of Blessing
Hospital. "These advanced tools enable us to analyze in near real-time the
various cost components of clinical care delivery, exert better control over
budget management, increase utilization and fully leverage our resources."

Fast-Growing and Diverse Client Base; Success in Competitive Replacement Market

Among the other healthcare organizations to recently sign up to realize tangible
outcomes from Sunrise EPSi are: Fox Chase Cancer Center, Philadelphia, PA; UCLA
Health System, Los Angeles, CA; Maimonides Medical Center, Brooklyn, NY; Crouse
Health Hospital, Inc., Syracuse, NY; Partners Healthcare System, Inc., Boston,
MA; Clark Memorial Hospital, Jeffersonville, IN; Wheeling Hospital, Wheeling,
WV; and Texas Health Resources, Arlington, TX.

"Taken as a whole, our diverse and prestigious client base reflects a
fundamental market need for powerful, newer generation performance management
and analytics tools," said Tim Rutledge, Eclipsys` vice president and general
manager of Decision Support Solutions. "Unlike old model systems that deliver
batch reports containing historic data, our solution`s single data model
platform enables users to channel current operational data and analysis for
daily near real-time decision making. Because of that, in almost all cases, our
decision support implementations involve de-installing competitive legacy
products and we`re replacing legacy budgeting solutions at least 80 percent of
the time."

Demonstrating the strong market demand for Sunrise EPSi in fiscal year 2008,
bookings tripled those recorded in 2007, and the number of sales contracts in
the fourth quarter exceeded strong third quarter growth. "This rapid sales
growth has occurred across net new Sunrise EPSi clients, into the Eclipsys
Sunrise Enterprise client base, and in conjunction with net-new sales of the
Sunrise Enterprise suite," added Rutledge.

Award-winning Solutions

Sunrise EPSi solutions are based on Microsoft .NET and use the latest versions
of Microsoft SQL Server to support easy client deployments. Users need only a
Web browser to be productive right away on the enterprise reporting, capital and
budget management improvement, cost accounting and other performance-management,
measurement and business intelligence tools. Sunrise EPSi also is a core
component of the Eclipsys Performance Management solution suite, together with
the company`s clinical analytics solution and the company`s newly acquired
patient flow solutions.

In 2008, for the third-straight year, Sunrise EPSi received top honors in the
Decision Support-Business market segment with a "Best in KLAS" award. According
to the 2008 "Top 20 Best in KLAS Award: Software and Professional Services"
report issued by KLAS Enterprises, Inc., 100 percent of survey respondents
indicated they would buy the solution again. In addition, for the
second-straight year, the Sunrise EPSi budgeting module was named a category
leader in the Budgeting software segment.

Eclipsys will showcase Sunrise EPSi and other components of its expanded
performance management solution suite, along with its integrated acute and
ambulatory systems that drive performance in its booth (No. 2603 in Hall A) at
the 2009 HIMSS Annual Conference & Exhibition in Chicago, April 4-8.
