Eclipsys Clients` Blessing Hospital and University Health System Achieve Magnet Recognition

Designation Verifies Hospitals` Documentation of Excellence and High Degree of
Nurse Satisfaction;

Nearly Half of Magnet Hospitals Use Eclipsys - More Than Any Other Vendor
ATLANTA--(Business Wire)--
Eclipsys Corporation (NASDAQ: ECLP), The Outcomes Company®, today announced that
clients` Blessing Hospital of Quincy, IL and University Health System of San
Antonio, TX were recently awarded Magnet Recognition by the American Nurses
Credentialing Center (ANCC). The Magnet Recognition Program was developed by the
ANCC to recognize healthcare organizations that provide not only excellence in
nursing, but also the highest quality of patient care at all levels throughout
the hospital. The term "Magnet" refers to the ability of a recognized
organization to attract and retain professional nurses who experience a high
degree of satisfaction in their workplace and attract patients in search of the
best healthcare. Based upon submission of thousands of pages of documentation,
in late 2009 ANCC granted both Blessing Hospital and University Health System a
three-day site visit, during which nurse appraisers verified each hospital`s
documentation of excellence. Nationally, only one in five hospitals applying for
Magnet recognition is granted a site survey.

A Medical and Technology Leader in West Central Illinois

"This is the gold standard for Nursing. The Magnet Recognition validates that
Blessing Hospital is one of the best places to give and receive care," said Jill
Mason, RN, MSN, chief nursing officer of Blessing Hospital.

With Eclipsys clinical information technology in use at the organization since
2004, Blessing Hospital has become a medical and technology leader in West
Central Illinois. The hospital has achieved significant outcomes improvements,
including high-levels of physician adoption of technology and improved patient
safety through medication reconciliation processes and use of electronic
prescriptions. These Eclipsys solutions have better connected Blessing
clinicians throughout the enterprise and remotely, providing access to real-time
patient information for improved decision making.

"This is the most significant, voluntary recognition of quality a hospital can
earn," said Maureen Kahn, RN, MHA, MSN, president and chief executive officer of
Blessing Hospital. "The ANCC grants Magnet status only after one of the most
thorough review processes in which I have ever been involved. Magnet hospitals
are the best of the best."

First and only in South Texas to earn Magnet Status

University Health System implemented the integrated clinical components of
Eclipsys` Sunrise Enterprise solution in 2003 to provide a complete electronic
medical record (EMR) across its entire healthcare organization. The advanced
functionality and open design of this solution is the centerpiece of the health
system`s electronic health record (EHR), providing coordinated care and superior
outcomes as clinicians seamlessly manage patient information across ambulatory
and inpatient environments. After a five-year "Magnet Journey," the organization
successfully demonstrated its commitment to providing quality care for all
patients, sustaining nursing excellence and transforming the culture of its work
environment through the use of Eclipsys solutions. University Health System is
the first and only health system in San Antonio and South Texas to earn Magnet
status from the ANCC.

"We are an organization committed to quality, compassion and innovation, and
this recognition demonstrates how these ideals are more than just healthcare
terms, but words we take to heart in everything we do," said George B.
Hernández, Jr., president and chief executive officer of University Health
System. "Our Board of Managers set the bar high and challenged us to be the best
of the best. Today, we let them know we have reached this mark and have our
sights set on the next one."

In 2008, University Health System also achieved a validated Stage 6 ranking in
the HIMSS Analytics EMR Adoption ModelSM (EMRAM), a recognition program that
tracks EMR progress at hospitals and health systems. The EMRAM scores hospitals
in the HIMSS Analytics Database on their progress in completing the eight stages
to creating a paperless patient record environment.

Eclipsys` Clients Consistently Recognized as Top Healthcare Organizations

"We are very proud that Blessing Hospital and University Health System have
undertook the tremendous amount of voluntary work to document how they are
providing the best quality of care for their patients," said Jay Deady,
Eclipsys` executive vice president of Client Solutions. "We also are proud that
users of Eclipsys` clinical information system dominate the field of Magnet
Recognition hospitals. Just six percent of the nation`s hospitals have earned
the impressive Magnet status, and Eclipsys clients represent 45 percent of those
organizations. It is yet another proof point of the industry leadership
demonstrated by our client base and how they are on the forefront of utilizing
advanced healthcare information technology to provide high-quality,
cost-effective care."
