IMS is a not-for-profit physician services organization that helps its
otherwise autonomous medical practices to better manage their clinical and
business functions. Currently with 45 locations across Phoenix and Western
Arizona, IMS has doubled its size in the last two years based on strong demand
for its services and anticipates growing to 500 physicians by 2013. The
agreement with Allscripts enables IMS to provide its expanding base of
physician practices a single solution to automate and enhance back-office
functions like billing and scheduling while delivering the real-time
information its physicians need to provide coordinated patient care across the
IMS network.

The deployment of the Web-hosted Allscripts solutions replaces six legacy EHR
systems and a number of practice management systems that IMS has acquired as
new physician groups joined its team.

"Our focus is on delivering high quality, truly coordinated care for our
patients, and to do that we need to give all of our providers quick, easy
access to the same patient information, not handcuff them with disconnected
software silos within their own offices," said John Dover, M.D., President and
Chief Executive Officer of IMS. "Now that federal incentives for EHR use are
in place, we anticipate that a lot of Arizona physicians will go looking for a
safe, interconnected electronic health record supported by a dependable
network of like-minded professionals. With Allscripts, we now have the
capability to meet their needs."

Beginning in 2011, US physicians can qualify for between $44,000 and $64,000
in payments from the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS) for
adopting and demonstrating "meaningful use" of an Electronic Health Record.
The incentives are expected to drive significant numbers of physicians to
adopt the technology.

Hosted Delivery Model

IMS will provide Allscripts via the hosted Application Service Provider (ASP)
delivery model. Hosting Allscripts remotely is a simple, affordable means of
delivering the technology that spares IMS the need to purchase servers or hire
new IT personnel. The ASP delivery model also speeds deployment and ensures
that the Allscripts solutions provide disaster protection with redundant
systems that are secure and accessible by authorized caregivers anywhere in
the world.

"The hosted model is perfect for a geographically disbursed organization like
IMS and will let us continue to grow while delivering the same great service
for our patients and physicians," explained Cindy Koelbl, Director of
Professional Services for IMS. "It also means we can very quickly bring our
physicians up live on the system without investing in growing our IT
infrastructure."

Allscripts Differentiator

IMS conducted an exhaustive review of Electronic Health Record and Practice
Management products before selecting Allscripts, said Koelbl. "We liked the
fact that Allscripts has a proven and very impressive product that's very
innovative," she said. "But more than that, the differentiator for us was the
level of satisfaction we found among Allscripts customers and the company's
strong focus on partnership. We could have chosen any vendor but we wanted a
partner and we know Allscripts will be there to grow with us and develop with
us as we grow."

Allscripts Chief Executive Officer Glen Tullman commented, "IMS has
distinguished itself among physician groups in Arizona by focusing on quality
care and service, as well as what will be required to deliver even better
coordinated care in the future. We're pleased that they have selected
Allscripts as their partner in providing their patients with a fully
integrated healthcare experience that is richer in content, provides higher
quality care, and is safer."

Allscripts EHR, PM and RCM

The Allscripts Electronic Health Record automates everyday clinical tasks such
as prescribing medications and documenting patient visits, and connects
physicians to all major healthcare stakeholders including labs, pharmacies,
insurers and patients. Physicians have instant access to patient information
as well as the latest best practices and clinical treatment guidelines when
and where they need it - in the clinic, at the hospital or while on-call at
home.

The Allscripts Practice Management solution with integrated Revenue Cycle
Management combines billing and scheduling with integrated claims, remittance
and eligibility capabilities in a single package. The Allscripts Revenue Cycle
Management solution is used by thousands of physician groups across the U.S.
to process more than 260 million claims annually and over 500 million revenue
cycle management transactions.
