Eclipsys Corporation and DrFirst Physician Honored with "E-Prescriber of the Year" Award at the 4th Annual Surescripts Safe-Rx Ceremony

ROCKVILLE, Md.--(Business Wire)--
DrFirst congratulates Dr. Narinder Batra, an Eclipsys Practice Solutions client
(since the acquisition of MediNotes in October 2008) using the DrFirst Rcopia
Engine throughMediNotes e EMR, for receiving the "E-prescriber of the Year"
award at the 4th annual Safe-Rx awards ceremony by Surescripts. Dr. Batra is one
of six physicians nationwide who were honored with the award. The Safe-Rx awards
were created to raise awareness of eprescribing as a means of enhancing patient
safety by providing a more secure, accurate, and informed prescribing process.

"The Surescripts Safe-Rx awards, with their focus on eprescribing, reinforce the
importance of the Medicare Improvements for Patients and Physicians Act of 2008
(MIPPA) and other healthcare initiatives to drive mainstream physician adoption
of eprescribing," said Peter N. Kaufman, MD, Chief Medical Officer for DrFirst.
"We applaud Dr. Batra for the leadership he has shown through the use of
electronic prescribing and EMR in his practice."

"We congratulate Dr. Batra and the other Safe-Rx award winners for increasing
the use of eprescribing and for the benefit it has brought to safety and quality
of patient care in communities throughout their states," said Harry Totonis,
president and CEO of Surescripts.

Through deep integration of eprescribing services, DrFirst provides true EDI
eprescribing technology for over 65 electronic medical record, practice
management, and hospital information system vendors. Through the DrFirst
services, physicians have real-time access to health plan formulary and plan
design information, as well as medication history, during the prescribing
process. To date, 17 DrFirst partners have achieved CCHIT EHR certification,
which includes an eprescribing component.

"DrFirst believes that it is critical to offer physicians a flexible migration
path from standalone eprescribing to more comprehensive clinical systems without
the data migration concerns that typically accompany such a transition," said G.
Cameron Deemer, president of DrFirst. "This award demonstrates that we are
clearly meeting an important market need with our `Open Borders` EMR partner
services. The burden of compliance with governmental and certification authority
requirements is heavy, and companies often have difficulty staying current. By
reducing their time to market and allowing them to focus on their core business,
more and more EMR vendors are now able to provide their physicians with access
to award-winning eprescribing technology."
