Memorial Hospital at Gulfport is the largest healthcare provider in the
Gulfport , located 70 miles east of New Orleans, is one of the largest
healthcare providers on the Mississippi Gulf Coast. Among the most
comprehensive medical facilities in Mississippi, Memorial is a not-for-profit
445-bed facility with 30 owned physician clinics, a medical staff of 275
physicians and a long history of investing in technology. Memorial is rated a
Stage 5 hospital on the HIMSS Adoption scale, placing it in the top 5 percent
of US hospitals for the use of information technologies to maximize patient
safety.

"Our strategy of sustained investment in IT on the inpatient side has been
crucial to becoming a leader in quality, patient safety and patient
satisfaction, and we believe Allscripts will help us extend our delivery of
high quality healthcare to the outpatient arena," said Richard Ferrans, MD,
Vice President and Medical Information Officer of Memorial Hospital.

The Allscripts Electronic Health Record enables Memorial's physicians to
instantly access patient information when and where they need it - in the
clinic, at the hospital or while on-call at home -- and automates everyday
clinical tasks such as prescribing medications, documenting patient visits and
obtaining best-practice guidelines for care.

Ferrans said he is excited at the prospect of connecting the Electronic Health
Record with the Mississippi Coast Health Information Exchange (MSCHIE) a state
program that is focused on enhancing healthcare infrastructure in Gulf Coast
counties that were devastated by Hurricane Katrina in August 2005. Memorial is
a founding member of the HIE, which will enable the hospital's physicians to
share and access secure, aggregated patient clinical information from IT
systems in physician offices, hospitals and other care sites 24 hours a day.

"We believe it's critical to connect our community of physicians to the HIE,
to enhance the overall continuity of care, reduce costs, and ensure that
up-to-date information is securely available to share between all providers on
the Coast," said Ferrans.

Within the Memorial community, the Allscripts Electronic Health Record will
give Memorial's physicians a dashboard view of key clinical measures including
alerts when lab results and other data indicate a health threat, either to an
individual patient or across the entire patient population. "Allscripts will
help us understand better the needs of our patients so we can better plan our
resources and effective interventions to improve the quality of our care,"
said Ferrans.

Memorial will provide its physicians with Allscripts Practice Management and
Revenue Cycle Management solutions, which are used by thousands of physician
groups across the U.S. to process more than 260 million claims annually and
500 million revenue cycle management transactions. 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.

"We want to empower our physicians by giving them the tools they need to run
their clinics more effectively and drive greater patient satisfaction," said
Ferrans. "From a business perspective, this lets us take 30 different clinics
and put them all on a common business platform for scheduling, workflow, and
billing, and that will really help the clinics run more efficiently."

Glen Tullman, Chief Executive Officer of Allscripts, commented, "Memorial
Hospital has set itself apart as a leader in the Gulf Coast by strategically
using information technology to not only automate their own physicians and
provide them with better information but also to connect them to the broader
community of caregivers for improved health outcomes through the Mississippi
Coast Health Information Exchange. By partnering with Allscripts, Memorial is
encouraging more widespread and rapid adoption of technologies that will
ultimately lead to better care for the Gulf Coast's patients and more
productive and informed interactions for physicians."
