Eclipsys Client Letter

Dear [Eclipsys Client],

As you know, Eclipsys announced a definitive agreement to merge with Allscripts to create one company that will combine the leading ambulatory, acute and post- acute solutions in the industry for healthcare organizations of every size and setting. I’d like to share with you the dynamics of this proposed merger, and why we believe this exciting business combination will be of benefit to you.

A Continued Evolution

Eclipsys’ sole focus is to support you in achieving clinical quality outcomes and financial success. This merger is a continuation of our evolution to deliver the information you need, when you need it.

By integrating the combined companies’ acute and ambulatory solutions on one, integrated platform we can accelerate the pace of evolving our products to meet your needs. It will establish one company that connects every link in the healthcare chain to create efficient clinical and administrative workflows that help you deliver the best possible care to your patients at a lower cost.

Here are the New Benefits to You and Your Organization:

 

   

The best acute and ambulatory solutions on one, integrated, open platform

 

   

The security and ease of connecting to the largest client footprint in ambulatory, acute and post-acute care settings

 

   

More powerful solutions and services to attain “Meaningful Use”

 

   

The unique capability to truly connect a community, from hospital to home

 

   

The ability to quickly integrate our combined solutions and deliver better outcomes for both you and your patients.

One Company to Truly Connect a Community.

With a client base of nearly 180,000 U.S. physicians, more than 1,500 hospitals and 10,000 post-acute organizations that care for millions of patients, this combined one company will have the unprecedented ability to seamlessly connect physicians, other care providers and patients regardless of whether care is provided in the hospital, in large or small physician practices, in extended care facilities, or in the patient’s home.


By joining these two technology leaders, we are enabling our clients to realize the true promise of information technology while improving both clinical and financial outcomes across the entire community of care.

Continued Focus on Your Outcomes and Success

At this time, Allscripts and Eclipsys continue to operate separately and support our respective businesses as we do today and you will continue to be supported by the same team . We do not envision that you will see any disruption to services or support during this process. The next step of the merger process is to obtain both regulatory and shareholder approvals for this transaction. These approvals must be received before our agreement is considered final. We expect the transaction to close in four to six months.

The proposed merger will create a combined portfolio that will accelerate our ability to enhance and evolve our solutions. Because both companies share a common Microsoft platform we believe we can deliver integration quickly, with a common look and feel, and a comprehensive data exchange.

Also, I am pleased to tell you that I will assume the role of full-time Chairman of the Board of the combined company and Glen Tullman, currently the Chief Executive Officer of Allscripts, will lead the combined organization as its Chief Executive Officer. In addition, John Gomez, currently the Executive Vice President & Chief Technology Strategy Officer of Eclipsys will be leading the product strategy and development for the combined company. The remainder of the leadership team will be drawn from the management team of both companies, delivering continuity to you in both our solutions and teams.

We value you as a client and appreciate that you have entrusted us to be your business partner. Over the next few months, we will continue to share information with you about this exciting, new merger. If at any time you have questions, please feel free to contact me, or your Eclipsys client representative.

I look forward to continuing our relationship with your organization as we work together to turn the vision of a connected system of health into a reality.

Regards,

<electronic signature>

Philip M. Pead

President and CEO

Eclipsys Corporation
