MERGER PROPOSED--YOUR VOTE IS VERY IMPORTANT

Allscripts, Inc., Channelhealth Incorporated and IDX Systems Corporation
have agreed on a merger transaction involving Allscripts and Channelhealth, a
majority-owned subsidiary of IDX. Before we can complete the merger, we must
obtain the approval of our stockholders and Channelhealth must obtain the
approval of its stockholders. We are sending you the attached proxy
statement/prospectus to ask you to vote in favor of the merger transaction.
Upon completion of the transaction:

. Allscripts and Channelhealth will each become a wholly-owned subsidiary
of a new holding company named "Allscripts Healthcare Solutions, Inc."
(formerly "Allscripts Holding, Inc."), which we refer to in the proxy
statement/prospectus as New Allscripts;     

. each outstanding share of Allscripts common stock will be converted into
one share of New Allscripts common stock; and

. each outstanding share of Channelhealth common stock and each outstanding
share of Channelhealth preferred stock will be converted into the right
to receive shares of New Allscripts common stock representing altogether
about 22.8% of the New Allscripts common stock calculated on a fully
diluted basis.     

The New Allscripts common stock, including the shares issued to stockholders
of Channelhealth as a result of the merger transactions, will be authorized for
quotation on the Nasdaq National Market under the trading symbol "MDRX," which
is Allscripts' current trading symbol.

Allscripts and Channelhealth will each hold a special meeting of its
stockholders to consider and vote on the merger proposal. Completion of the
merger requires approval of Allscripts' stockholders and Channelhealth's common
and preferred stockholders, voting separately by class.

YOUR VOTE IS VERY IMPORTANT. Whether or not you plan to attend the special
meeting, please take the time to vote by completing the enclosed proxy card and
mailing it to us. If you sign, date, and mail your proxy card without
indicating how you want to vote, your proxy will be counted as a vote for the
merger proposal. If you do not return your card or do not instruct your broker
how to vote any shares held for you in "street name," your shares will not be
voted at the special meeting. The date, time and place for the stockholders
meeting is as follows:

January 8, 2001     
9:00 a.m., CST
LaSalle Bank N.A.
135 South LaSalle Street
Chicago, Illinois 60603
43rd Floor, Room A

This proxy statement/prospectus gives you detailed information about the
merger transaction we are proposing, and it includes our merger agreement as
Annex A. You can get more information about Allscripts from publicly available
documents that it has filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission. We
encourage you to read carefully this entire document, including all of its
annexes, and WE ESPECIALLY ENCOURAGE YOU TO READ THE SECTION ON "RISK FACTORS"
BEGINNING ON PAGE 23.

We join with the members of our board of directors in recommending that you

NOTICE OF SPECIAL MEETING OF STOCKHOLDERS

January 8, 2001     

----------------

A special meeting of stockholders of Allscripts, Inc. will be held starting
at 9:00 a.m., local time, on January 8, 2001, at LaSalle Bank N.A., 135 LaSalle
Street, Chicago Illinois 60603, 43rd Floor, Room A for the following purposes:

1. To consider and vote upon a proposal to approve and adopt an agreement and
plan of merger and the transactions contemplated by it, including the
issuance of shares of New Allscripts common stock, among Allscripts,
Allscripts Holding, Inc., a newly formed subsidiary of Allscripts, IDX
Systems Corporation, Channelhealth Incorporated, a majority owned subsidiary
of IDX, and Bursar Acquisition, Inc. and Bursar Acquisition No. 2, Inc.,
both of which are newly formed subsidiaries of New Allscripts; and

2. To transact such other business as may properly come before the meeting or
any adjournment or postponement thereof.

Holders of record of Allscripts common stock at the close of business on
November 22, 2000, the record date for the Allscripts special meeting, are
entitled to notice of and to vote at the meeting or at any adjournment or
postponement thereof. Allscripts and Channelhealth will each hold a special
meeting of their respective stockholders to consider and vote on the merger
proposal. Completion of the merger requires approval of Allscripts'
stockholders and Channelhealth's common stockholders and preferred
stockholders, voting separately by class.     

The Allscripts board of directors has determined that the terms of the
merger agreement and the transactions contemplated by it are advisable and in
the best interests of Allscripts and its stockholders. The members of the
Allscripts board of directors unanimously recommend that stockholders vote at
the special meeting to approve the merger agreement and the transactions
contemplated by it, including the issuance of shares of New Allscripts common
stock to stockholders of Channelhealth.

One-third of the outstanding common shares of our company must be
represented at the meeting to constitute a quorum. Therefore, all stockholders
are urged either to attend the special meeting or to be represented by proxy.
If a quorum is not present at the meeting, a vote for adjournment or
postponement will be taken among the stockholders present or represented by
proxy. If a majority of the stockholders present or represented by proxy vote
for adjournment or postponement, it is the company's intention to adjourn the
special meeting until a later date and to vote proxies received at the
adjourned or postponed meeting(s).

Stockholders of record can vote their shares by completing and returning the
accompanying proxy card in the enclosed business reply envelope.

If you later find that you can be present at the special meeting or for any
other reason desire to revoke your proxy, you may do so at any time before the
vote is taken as discussed on page 32 of this document.

Please do not send any Allscripts stock certificates at this time. If the
mergers are completed, forms to be used to exchange your Allscripts share
certificates for New Allscripts share certificates will be mailed to you.

By Order of the Board of Directors,

/s/ John G. Cull

QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS ABOUT THE MERGERS

Q: WHAT IS PROPOSED?

A: Allscripts and Channelhealth propose to combine their businesses and
Allscripts will create a new holding company for itself and Channelhealth.

Q: WHAT WILL HAPPEN IN THE MERGERS?

A: In the mergers, Allscripts and Channelhealth will become separate wholly-
owned subsidiaries of a new holding company, Allscripts Healthcare
Solutions, Inc. (formerly Allscripts Holding, Inc.), which we refer to in
the attached document as "New Allscripts." Channelhealth stockholders will
become New Allscripts stockholders and will own approximately 22.8% of the
New Allscripts common shares that will be outstanding after the mergers, or
21.9% on a fully diluted basis and treating option holders and warrant
holders as stockholders, with the potential to receive additional shares if
the Channelhealth business meets certain revenue goals through the end of
the year 2002. Current Allscripts stockholders will own the remaining
approximately 77.2%, or 78.1% on a fully diluted basis.     

Q: WHY ARE ALLSCRIPTS AND CHANNELHEALTH PROPOSING TO MERGE?

A: Our companies are proposing to merge because we expect as a combined company
to grow revenues and gross profit faster and beyond the levels that either
company could achieve individually. We believe that the companies have
complementary skills, and that the combined portfolio of product and service
offerings will be more attractive to our respective current customers and
potential future customers than either company's individual portfolio. In
addition, we expect the combined company, through a ten-year strategic
alliance agreement with IDX that will become effective upon completion of
the merger transactions, to gain access to IDX's universe of doctors
including approximately 118,000 physicians and over 2,000 client sites.
Finally, we believe that the merger will create other cost savings
opportunities through administrative and operational synergies. Please read
the more detailed description of our reasons for the merger on pages 37
through 38.

Q: WHAT WILL THE NEW COMPANY BE CALLED AND WHERE WILL IT BE HEADQUARTERED?

A: The combined company will be called Allscripts Healthcare Solutions, Inc.
and will be headquartered in Allscripts' current headquarters in
Libertyville, Illinois.     

Q: WHAT WILL HAPPEN TO CHANNELHEALTH SHARES AND STOCK OPTIONS IN THE MERGERS?

A: Channelhealth common and preferred stockholders will receive 0.33730 New
Allscripts common shares for each share of Channelhealth common or preferred
stock they own. Channelhealth stockholders also will receive cash for any
fractional New Allscripts shares they would be otherwise entitled to
receive. In addition, Channelhealth stock options will be converted into
options to purchase New Allscripts common shares based on the same exchange
ratio as applies to the conversion of Channelhealth stock, at an exercise
price equal to the former exercise price under the Channelhealth option
divided by the 0.33730 exchange ratio. The New Allscripts common shares will
be authorized for quotation on the Nasdaq National Market under the ticker
symbol "MDRX," which is Allscripts' current trading symbol.

Q: WHAT WILL HAPPEN TO ALLSCRIPTS COMMON SHARES, STOCK OPTIONS AND WARRANTS IN
THE MERGERS?

A: Allscripts common stockholders and holders of Allscripts stock options or
warrants will receive one New Allscripts common share, option or warrant for
each share of Allscripts common stock they own or each option or warrant to
purchase Allscripts common stock they hold. Allscripts warrants and stock
options will be converted into warrants and options to purchase the same
number of New Allscripts common shares, at the same exercise price and
otherwise on the same terms, as currently apply. The New Allscripts

1

common shares will be authorized for quotation on the Nasdaq National
Market under the trading symbol "MDRX," which is Allscripts' current
trading symbol.

Q: WHEN IS ALLSCRIPTS' SPECIAL STOCKHOLDERS' MEETING?

A: Allscripts' special meeting of stockholders will take place on January 8,
2001. The location of the special meeting is specified on the cover page of
this document.     

Q: HOW DO I VOTE MY ALLSCRIPTS SHARES IF MY SHARES ARE HELD IN "STREET NAME"?

A: You should vote your shares in accordance with the instructions provided to
you by your broker. Your broker will not vote your shares unless the broker
receives appropriate instructions from you.

Q: MAY I CHANGE MY VOTE EVEN AFTER RETURNING A PROXY CARD?

A: Yes. If you are an Allscripts stockholder and want to change your vote, you
may do so at any time before the Allscripts special meeting by sending to
LaSalle Bank N.A., Allscripts' solicitation agent for the merger, at 135
South LaSalle Street, Chicago, Illinois 60603, a proxy with a later date.
Alternatively, you may revoke your proxy by delivering to LaSalle Bank
N.A., at 135 South LaSalle Street, Chicago, Illinois 60603, Room 1811, a
written revocation prior to the Allscripts special meeting or by voting in
person at the Allscripts special meeting. Allscripts stockholders that
require assistance in changing or revoking a proxy should contact LaSalle
Bank N.A. at (800) 246-5761.

Q: IF I HAVE MORE QUESTIONS ABOUT THE MERGERS OR ALLSCRIPTS, WHERE CAN I FIND
ANSWERS?

A: In addition to reading this document, its annexes and the documents we have
incorporated in this document by reference, you can find more information
about the mergers or about Allscripts in its filings with the Securities
and Exchange Commission and with the Nasdaq National Market.

Q: WHAT WILL HAPPEN AT ALLSCRIPTS' SPECIAL STOCKHOLDERS' MEETING?

A: At the Allscripts special meeting, Allscripts stockholders will vote on the
merger agreement and the transactions contemplated by the merger agreement,
including the merger and the issuance of New Allscripts common shares to
Channelhealth stockholders in the merger with Channelhealth. We cannot
complete the mergers unless, among other things, Allscripts stockholders
vote to adopt and approve the merger agreement and the transactions
contemplated by the merger agreement, including the issuance of New
Allscripts shares to Channelhealth stockholders, and Channelhealth common
and preferred stockholders, voting separately by class, vote to approve the
merger agreement.

Q: WHAT WILL HAPPEN AT CHANNELHEALTH'S SPECIAL STOCKHOLDERS' MEETING?     

A: At the Channelhealth special meeting, Channelhealth stockholders will vote
on the merger agreement and the transactions contemplated by the merger
agreement and the transfer of assets to IDX pursuant to the
Channelhealth/IDX asset purchase agreement. We cannot complete the mergers
unless, among other things, the Channelhealth common and preferred
stockholders, voting separately by class, vote to approve the merger
agreement and the Channelhealth common and preferred stockholders, voting
together as one class, vote to approve the Channelhealth/IDX asset purchase
agreement.     

Q: WHAT DO I NEED TO DO TO VOTE?

A: Mail your signed proxy card in the enclosed return envelope as soon as
possible so that your shares may be represented at the special meeting. In
order to assure that we obtain your vote, please vote as instructed on your
proxy card even if you currently plan to attend the special meeting in
person. The members of the Allscripts board of directors unanimously
recommend that Allscripts stockholders vote for the merger agreement and
the transactions contemplated by the merger agreement, including the merger
and issuance of New Allscripts shares to Channelhealth stockholders.

2

Q: ARE THERE RISKS ASSOCIATED WITH THE MERGERS THAT I SHOULD CONSIDER IN
DECIDING HOW TO VOTE?

A: Yes. There are risks associated with all business combinations, including
the mergers. In particular, you should be aware that the number of New
Allscripts common shares that Channelhealth stockholders will receive is
fixed and will not change as the market price of shares of Allscripts common
stock fluctuates in the period before the mergers. Accordingly, the value of
the New Allscripts common shares that Channelhealth stockholders will
receive in return for their shares of Channelhealth stock may be either less
than or more than the current market price of the Allscripts common shares.
There also are a number of other risks that are discussed in this document
and in other documents incorporated by reference in this document. Please
read with particular care the more detailed description of the risks
associated with the mergers on pages 23 through 27.

Q: WHEN DO YOU EXPECT TO COMPLETE THE MERGERS?

A: We expect to complete the mergers as quickly as possible once all the
conditions to the mergers, including obtaining the approvals of the
Allscripts stockholders and the Channelhealth common and preferred
stockholders at the special meetings, are fulfilled. Fulfilling some of
these conditions is not entirely within our control.

Q: SHOULD I SEND IN MY ALLSCRIPTS STOCK CERTIFICATES NOW?

A: No. After the merger is completed, we will send written instructions to you
that explain how to exchange your Allscripts stock certificates for New
Allscripts stock certificates. New Allscripts will also send a letter of
transmittal that you must execute. Please do not send in any stock
certificates until you receive these written instructions and the letter of
transmittal.

The Mergers (Page 34)     

Pursuant to the merger agreement, Bursar Acquisition, Inc. and Bursar
Acquisition No. 2, Inc., each a separate subsidiary of New Allscripts, will
merge with and into Allscripts and Channelhealth, respectively, and each of
Allscripts and Channelhealth will survive the mergers as separate wholly-owned
subsidiaries of New Allscripts.

Allscripts Merger

In the merger of Bursar with and into Allscripts, which we refer to as the
Allscripts merger, each share of Allscripts common stock will be exchanged for
one share of New Allscripts common stock. As of November 29, 2000, there were
29,081,012 shares outstanding (32,509,770 on a fully diluted basis and treating
option and warrant holders as stockholders). Therefore, upon completion of the
mergers, former Allscripts stockholders will own about 77.2% of the New
Allscripts common stock (78.1% on a fully diluted basis) and former
Channelhealth stockholders will own the remainder of the outstanding common
stock.     

Channelhealth Merger

In the merger of Bursar No. 2 with and into Channelhealth, which we refer to
as the Channelhealth merger, each share of preferred stock and each share of
common stock of Channelhealth will be exchanged for 0.33730 shares of common
stock of New Allscripts. As of November 27, 2000 there were 25,527,425 shares
of Channelhealth common stock and 2,719,429 shares of Channelhealth preferred
stock, or 28,246,854 shares in the aggregate, outstanding (29,741,780 as of
November 27, 2000 on a fully diluted basis and treating option holders as
stockholders), but this total will be reduced by 2,771,009 shares of
Channelhealth common stock pursuant to the Channelhealth/IDX asset purchase
agreement described later in this document. Consequently, New Allscripts will
issue 8,593,003 shares of its common stock to Channelhealth stockholders in
exchange for the 25,475,845 shares of Channelhealth common and preferred stock
that will be outstanding at the closing date for the mergers.     

Earnout Shares

In addition, if, following completion of the mergers, Channelhealth meets
specified revenue goals through the end of the year 2002, New Allscripts will
issue up to an additional 1,599,374 shares of common stock to former
Channelhealth stockholders on the basis of an exchange ratio of 0.06278 shares
of New Allscripts common stock for each Channelhealth common or preferred share
held at the effective time of the mergers.

Founded in 1986, Allscripts' initial focus was point-of-care dispensing of
prepackaged medications. In 1997, with the addition of the current management
team, Allscripts began the transition to a healthcare Internet company with an
emphasis on using information technology to provide enhanced efficiency and
expanded connectivity to the various participants in the pharmaceutical
process.

In 1998, Allscripts introduced the first version of TouchScript(R),
innovative software that provides easy-to-use electronic prescribing and uses
the Internet to route transactions to retail, mail order and Internet
pharmacies and managed care organizations. The newly introduced hand-held
version, the TouchScript Personal Prescriber(R), provides physicians with an
easy-to-use, portable device that provides information at the point of
prescribing and adds real value to the practice, to patients and to managed
care payers.

Allscripts offers a number of Internet-based patient and physician
compliance and education services, as well as e-commerce applications.

The Allscripts portfolio of products and services includes the following:

Point-of-care medication management

Management and Operation After the Mergers (Page 83)     

After the merger, the New Allscripts board of directors will continue to
manage the combined business of Channelhealth and Allscripts as wholly-owned
subsidiaries of New Allscripts. The combined company will be called "Allscripts
Healthcare Solutions, Inc." and will be headquartered in Libertyville,
Illinois.     

For so long as IDX owns at least 1,874,460 shares of New Allscripts common
stock, which represents 25% of the number of New Allscripts shares that it will
receive upon completion of the Channelhealth merger, New Allscripts has agreed
to fix the number of New Allscripts directors at nine members and to appoint an
individual designated by IDX to the board. The initial IDX designee to the New
Allscripts board will be Richard E. Tarrant, Channelhealth's Chairman of the
Board, Chief Executive Officer and President. The IDX designee will serve as
the sole non-executive Vice Chairman of the New Allscripts board so long as IDX
owns at least 5,623,379 shares of New Allscripts common stock, which represents
75% of the number of New Allscripts shares that it will receive upon completion
of the Channelhealth merger.

Interests of Certain Persons (Page 43)     

In considering the recommendation of the Channelhealth board with respect to
the merger proposal, Channelhealth stockholders should be aware that certain
directors and executive officers of Channelhealth have interests in the
transactions contemplated by the merger agreement that are in addition to the
interests of other holders of Channelhealth stock. See "The Transaction--
Interests of Certain Persons in the Transaction."

Conditions to the Mergers (Page 62)     

In addition to the approval of the stockholders of Allscripts and
Channelhealth, the completion of the transactions contemplated by the merger
agreement is subject to various other conditions. See "The Merger Agreement--
Conditions to the Mergers."

Certain Differences in the Rights of Stockholders (Page 96)

New Allscripts and Channelhealth are organized under the corporate laws of
the state of Delaware. There are certain differences between the respective
charter documents and by-laws of New Allscripts and Channelhealth. See
"Comparison of Certain Provisions of the Certificates of Incorporation and By-
Laws of New Allscripts and Channelhealth."

Per Share Market Price Information (Page 21)

Allscripts common shares are listed on the Nasdaq National Market. On July
12, 2000, the last trading day before we announced the mergers, Allscripts
common shares closed at $29.125 per share. There is no public market for
Channelhealth's common or preferred shares. On December 6, 2000, the most
recent practicable date before the mailing of this document, Allscripts common
shares closed at $9.125 per share.     

Based on the exchange ratio in the Channelhealth merger, which is 0.33730
common shares per share of Channelhealth common and preferred stock, the market
value of the consideration that Channelhealth stockholders will receive in the
Channelhealth merger for shares of Channelhealth common or preferred stock
would be approximately $9.824 per share based on the closing price of
Allscripts common shares on July 12, 2000, and $3.078 per share based on the
closing price of Allscripts common shares on December 6, 2000. Of course, the
market price of Allscripts common shares will fluctuate prior to the mergers
and the market price for New Allscripts common shares will fluctuate after the
mergers, however the exchange ratio is fixed. You should obtain current stock
price quotations for Allscripts common stock.     

Accounting Treatment (Page 46)     

New Allscripts will account for the Channelhealth merger under the purchase
method of accounting. See "The Transaction--Accounting Treatment."

United States Federal Income Tax Consequences (Page 46)     

Weil, Gotshal & Manges LLP has delivered an opinion to Allscripts, based on
certain representations and assumptions, to the effect that the Allscripts
merger will constitute a reorganization within the meaning of Section 368(a) of
the Internal Revenue Code. Hale and Dorr LLP has delivered an opinion to IDX,
based on certain representations and assumptions, to the effect that the
Channelhealth merger will constitute an exchange under Section 351 of the
Internal Revenue Code. It is a condition to the obligations of Allscripts under
the merger agreement that it shall have received an opinion from Weil, Gotshal
& Manges LLP to the effect that the Allscripts merger will be treated as a
reorganization within the meaning of Section 368(a) of the Internal Revenue
Code or an exchange under Section 351 of the Internal Revenue Code. See "The
Transaction--United States Federal Income Tax Consequences."

Risk Factors (Page 23)

See "Risk Factors" beginning on page 23 of this proxy statement/prospectus
for a discussion of various matters that holders of Allscripts common stock and
holders of Channelhealth common and preferred stock should carefully consider
in determining how to vote with respect to the merger proposal, including:

. the fixed ratio provided by the merger agreement for the exchange of
shares of Channelhealth common and preferred stock for New Allscripts
common stock;

. the failure to realize revenue synergies, cost reductions and other
benefits; and

. factors that may influence the future operating results of New Allscripts
and Channelhealth.

PRO FORMA CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL INFORMATION

Overview

Effective May 9, 2000 and May 17, 2000, Allscripts, Inc. (the Company)
acquired MasterChart, Inc. and Medifor, Inc., respectively (the Previously
Acquired Companies). These acquisitions have been accounted for using the
purchase method of accounting and, accordingly, the purchase price has been
allocated to the tangible and identifiable intangible assets acquired and
liabilities assumed on the basis of their respective fair values on the
acquisition dates, with the excess of the purchase price recorded as goodwill.

As soon as practicable after the filing of this joint proxy
statement/prospectus, the Company expects to acquire the Physician Channel
business of Channelhealth Incorporated. This acquisition will be accounted for
using the purchase method of accounting and, accordingly, the purchase price
will be allocated to the tangible and identifiable intangible assets acquired
and liabilities assumed on the basis of their respective fair values on the
acquisition date, with the excess of the purchase price recorded as goodwill.

The MasterChart, Inc. total purchase price of approximately $132.7 million
consisted of 1,617,873 shares of the Company's common stock with a fair value
of approximately $127.4 million, cash of approximately $5.0 million and
transaction costs totalling approximately $0.3 million. The Medifor, Inc. total
purchase price of approximately $38.8 million consisted of 935,858 shares of
the Company's common stock with a fair value of approximately $34.4 million and
the issuance of 142,786 common stock options as replacement of Medifor, Inc.
common stock options with a fair value of approximately $4.2 million and
transaction costs totalling approximately $0.2 million.     

The Physician Channel total purchase price of approximately $228.9 million
will consist of 8,593,003 shares of the Company's common stock with a fair
value of approximately $218.4 million, the issuance of 504,239 common stock
options as replacement of Channelhealth common stock options with a fair value
of approximately $6.5 million and transaction costs totalling approximately
$4.0 million. Additional consideration may be granted relative to the Physician
Channel acquisition if certain revenue targets are achieved during 2002. Those
revenue targets, if achieved, will result in the recording of additional
purchase price at the time that the targets are met. Allscripts has not yet
performed a final valuation of the tangible and identifiable intangible assets
and liabilities to be acquired relative to the Physician Channel acquisition.
As such, the pro forma adjustments related to the Physician Channel are
preliminary estimates that are subject to change.     

The following unaudited pro forma consolidated statements of operations
reflects the Company's results of operations for the year ended December 31,
1999, and nine months ended September 30, 2000, as if the acquisitions had
occurred on January 1, 1999, after giving effect to purchase accounting
adjustments. The following unaudited pro forma consolidated balance sheet
reflects the Company's financial position as of September 30, 2000, as if the
Physician Channel acquisition had occurred on September 30, 2000, after giving
effect to purchase accounting adjustments. These pro forma financial statements
have been prepared for comparative purposes only, do not purport to be
indicative of what the Company's operating results or financial position would
have been had the acquisitions actually taken place on January 1, 1999, or
September 30, 2000, respectively, and are not indicative of future operating
results or financial position.

The following adjustments were applied to the Company's historical
statements of operations and those of MasterChart, Inc. and Medifor, Inc. to

3. Net Loss per Share

Basic net loss per share for the year ended December 31, 1999 and the nine
months ended September 30, 2000 is computed using the weighted average number
of common shares outstanding during the respective period. Diluted net loss per
share is computed excluding the weighted average number of common equivalent
shares outstanding because such common equivalents are anti-dilutive.
Differences between historical weighted average shares outstanding used to
compute net loss per share result from the inclusion of shares issued in
conjunction with the acquisitions as if such shares were outstanding from
January 1, 1999.

When considering such forward-looking statements, you should keep in mind the
risk factors and other cautionary statements in this proxy statement/prospectus
and the documents incorporated by reference in this proxy statement/prospectus.
You should understand that various factors, in addition to those discussed
elsewhere in this proxy statement/prospectus and in the documents referred to
or incorporated by reference in this proxy statement/prospectus, could affect
the future results of the combined company following the mergers and could
cause results to differ materially from those expressed in these forward-
looking statements, including:

. changes in general economic conditions or in political, regulatory or
competitive forces;

. changes in the securities markets;

. dependence on key personnel to manage the integration of the two
companies;

. risk that our analyses of these risks and forces could be incorrect or
that the strategies developed to address them could be unsuccessful;

. risks described below under "Risk Factors;" and

. description of future tax consequences.

Stockholders are cautioned not to place undue reliance on these forward-
looking statements, which speak only as of the date of this proxy
statement/prospectus or, in the case of documents incorporated by reference in
this proxy statement/prospectus, the dates of those documents.

All subsequent written and oral forward-looking statements attributable to
Allscripts, New Allscripts or Channelhealth or any person acting on their

unanticipated events.

22

RISK FACTORS

In addition to the other information contained in this proxy
statement/prospectus and the documents incorporated by reference in this proxy
statement/prospectus, you should carefully consider the following risk factors
before you decide how to vote on the proposed transaction.

The value of the New Allscripts shares to be received in the mergers will
fluctuate.

Pursuant to the terms of the merger agreement, at the effective time of the
mergers, each outstanding share of Channelhealth common stock and each
outstanding share of Channelhealth preferred stock, other than shares held in
the treasury of Channelhealth and shares held by persons who have perfected
appraisal rights, will be converted into the right to receive 0.33730 shares of
New Allscripts common stock, plus cash in lieu of fractional share interests,
and each outstanding share of Allscripts common stock, other than shares held
in the treasury of Allscripts, will be converted into one share of New
Allscripts common stock. The merger agreement does not provide for any
adjustment of the number of shares of New Allscripts common stock issuable for
each share of Channelhealth common or preferred stock or Allscripts common
stock based upon fluctuations in the price of Allscripts common stock.
Accordingly, the value of the stock consideration to be received by holders of
Channelhealth common or preferred stock upon the consummation of the
transaction, and the corresponding dilution, if any, to holders of Allscripts
common stock, are not presently ascertainable and will depend upon the market
price of New Allscripts common stock at the effective time of the mergers,
which in turn will be affected by the market price of Allscripts common stock
at that time. On July 12, 2000, the last trading day prior to the public
announcement of the execution of the merger agreement, the closing price of
Allscripts common stock on the Nasdaq National Market was $29.125 per share. On
December 6, 2000 (the latest practicable date prior to the printing of this
proxy statement/prospectus), the closing price of Allscripts common stock on
the Nasdaq National Market was $9.125 per share. Holders of Allscripts common
stock and holders of Channelhealth stock are urged to obtain current market
quotations for Allscripts common stock prior to making any decisions with
respect to the merger proposals. The merger agreement does not provide
Allscripts, Channelhealth or IDX the right to terminate the agreement based
upon fluctuation in the price of Allscripts common stock. Such variations may
be the result of:     

. actual or anticipated variations in Allscripts' quarterly operating
results;

. announcements of technological innovations or new services or products by
Allscripts or its competitors;

. timeliness of Allscripts' introductions of new products;

. changes in financial estimates by securities analysts;

. conditions and trends in the electronic healthcare information, Internet,
e-commerce and pharmaceutical markets; and

. general market conditions and other factors.

In addition, the stock markets, especially the Nasdaq National Market, have
recently experienced extreme price and volume fluctuations that have affected
the market prices of equity securities of many technology companies, and
Internet-related companies in particular. These fluctuations have often been
unrelated or disproportionate to operating performance. These broad market
factors may materially affect the trading price of Allscripts' common stock.
General economic, political and market conditions like recessions and interest
rate fluctuations may also have an adverse effect on the market price of
Allscripts' common stock.

Volatility in the market price for Allscripts' common stock may result in
the filing of securities class action litigation. On October 26, 2000,
Allscripts announced that its previously reported revenues for the second
quarter of 2000 were being revised from $12.6 million to $12.1 million. Two
complaints, styled as shareholder class action complaints, have been filed in
the United States District Court for the Northern District of Illinois against
Allscripts and its President and Chief Financial Officer, David B. Mullen,
alleging that the defendants failed to disclose that revenue relating to
Allscripts' relationship with IMS Health was not properly recorded in the
second quarter of 2000. The complaints in these actions purport to be brought
on behalf of

23

individuals who purchased common stock of Allscripts during the period of July
27, 2000 through and including October 26, 2000. The plaintiffs allege
violations of Sections 10(b) and 20(a) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934
and seek unspecified damages. According to reports on the Internet, at least
one additional similar complaint has been filed against Allscripts. At this
time, management is unable to determine the likely outcome of this matter or to
reasonably estimate the amount of loss with respect to this matter. In
addition, these actions could result in substantial costs and the diversion of
management's attention and resources.

New Allscripts may face difficulties in integrating the operations and products
of Channelhealth and Allscripts.

Channelhealth and Allscripts have previously operated separately. The
proposed management team of New Allscripts does not have experience with the
combined business. Integration of product lines will involve consolidation of
products with duplicative functionality, coordination of research and
development activities and convergence of the technologies supporting the
various products. New Allscripts may not be able to integrate the products,
product development, information systems and operations of Channelhealth and
Allscripts without a loss of key officers, employees, customers or suppliers, a
loss of revenues or an increase in net loss, an increase in operating or other
costs or other difficulties. In addition, New Allscripts may not be able to
realize the operating efficiencies, the material expansion of its customer base
to IDX customers or the other benefits expected from the Channelhealth merger
and related transactions such as the strategic alliance with IDX. Any
unexpected costs or delays incurred in connection with such integration could
have an adverse effect on New Allscripts' business, results of operations or
financial condition.

Allscripts is currently experiencing losses and New Allscripts may not become
profitable in the future.

Allscripts is currently experiencing losses and cannot assure you that New
Allscripts will become profitable in the foreseeable future, if ever. For the
nine months ended September 30, 2000 and the year ended December 31, 1999,
Allscripts had losses of $42.1 million and $11.2 million, respectively. Even if
New Allscripts does achieve profitability it may be unable to sustain or
increase its profitability in the future.     

The business separation of Channelhealth from IDX may impair assets.

The separation of Channelhealth from the rest of IDX's businesses, assets
and liabilities pursuant to the asset purchase agreement between IDX and
Channelhealth requires the transfer of assets, including intellectual property
rights, between Channelhealth and IDX. Some of these transfers may trigger
Channelhealth liabilities that will not become payable by Channelhealth until
after the mergers are completed. Generally, IDX will be responsible for these
liabilities but IDX would not be required to indemnify Channelhealth for any
losses that are consequential, in the nature of lost profits, diminution in
value, damage to reputation or the like, special or punitive damages or
otherwise not actual losses.

Channelhealth expects to continue to incur losses and may never achieve
profitability, which may cause New Allscripts' stock price to fall.

Historically, Channelhealth has incurred significant net losses, and since
Channelhealth has only recently implemented its business strategy, Allscripts
and Channelhealth expect Channelhealth to continue to incur losses at least
through 2001. Additionally, Channelhealth has spent significant amounts on
research and development and sales and marketing efforts, and Channelhealth
expects these costs to continue. Channelhealth and Allscripts cannot be certain
that Channelhealth will achieve profitability and if it is unable to do so, New
Allscripts' business prospects may be harmed and New Allscripts' stock price
may fall.

Channelhealth recently began independent operations and its limited operating
history makes an evaluation of its business and prospects difficult.

Since its inception as an independent company in September 1999,
Channelhealth's operating activities have consisted largely of developing the
applications necessary to provide its services and Channelhealth has

24

only recently begun to sell its services to provider organizations. In
addition, Channelhealth's long-term success will depend largely on the success
of its strategic relationships and the strategic alliance between New
Allscripts and IDX. Channelhealth is still in the early stages of its current
strategic relationships and it is unable to predict whether the goals of those
relationships will be achieved. Channelhealth's limited operating history and
limited experience with its strategic business partners make it difficult to
evaluate its business following the Channelhealth merger and prospects.

Channelhealth's historical financial information may not be representative of
its results as a company separate from IDX.

Channelhealth's financial statements, which reflect the operations and net
assets of the "Physician Channel" business of Channelhealth and exclude the
operations and net assets of the "Patient Channel" business and the "eCommerce
Channel" business to be retained by IDX, have been derived from the
consolidated financial statements of IDX using the historical results of
operations and historical bases of the assets and liabilities of IDX.
Accordingly, the historical financial information included in this proxy
statement/prospectus does not necessarily reflect what Channelhealth's
financial position, results of operations and cash flows would have been as a
separate, stand-alone entity during the periods presented. In addition, such
information may not necessarily be indicative of what Channelhealth's financial
position, results of operations and cash flows will be in the future as a
wholly-owned subsidiary of New Allscripts. Its historical costs and expenses
include allocations from IDX for centralized administrative services and
infrastructure costs, including accounting, cash management, information
management, property management, human resources, legal services and purchasing
of materials, equipment and supplies.

Channelhealth and IDX have determined these allocations on bases that they
consider to be reasonable reflections of Channelhealth's utilization of
services provided or the benefit Channelhealth received from such services.
Channelhealth has not made adjustments to its historical financial information
to reflect many significant changes that will occur in its cost structure,
funding and operations as a result of its separation from IDX.

Channelhealth's and New Allscripts' growth and revenues could suffer if they
are unable to enter into and maintain relationships with IDX customers.

Channelhealth seeks to increase its subscriber base through targeting
provider organizations that use IDX practice management systems or other IDX
services, and affiliates of these organizations. Channelhealth's services use
the Web FrameWork technology, which it licenses from IDX, and which enables its
software applications and services to be tightly integrated with IDX practice
management systems and provide real-time synchronization of data. If
Channelhealth's relationship with IDX terminates, its services might not be as
attractive to IDX customers and Channelhealth may not have access to this
potential customer base, IDX might enter into arrangements that would allow
Channelhealth's competitors to utilize IDX technology and IDX could compete
against Channelhealth. If any of these situations were to occur,
Channelhealth's and New Allscripts' expected revenues may be lower, their
business may be harmed and New Allscripts' stock price may fall.

Channelhealth's and New Allscripts' business will be harmed if they cannot
maintain Channelhealth's strategic alliance agreement with Healtheon/WebMD.

On June 8, 2000, Channelhealth and IDX entered into agreements with
Healtheon/WebMD Corp. pursuant to which Healtheon/WebMD agreed to provide
electronic transaction and content services to Channelhealth and IDX. Pursuant
to the agreement, Healtheon/WebMD's content is to be integrated into
Channelhealth's Physician Channel and Patient Channel internet services.
Healtheon/WebMD further committed to a multi-million dollar campaign promoting
IDX and Channelhealth products and services that incorporate Healtheon/WebMD
content and transactions. Healtheon/WebMD has recently informed IDX that it
believes Channelhealth and IDX will be unable to perform their obligations to
Healtheon/WebMD if the proposed strategic alliance between Allscripts and IDX
is consummated. Healtheon/WebMD also stated that it would seek to terminate the
Channelhealth agreement and would propose a "restructured" relationship with
IDX. Such proposal has not been received by

25

IDX. Allscripts and Channelhealth believe that Channelhealth's and IDX's
performance will not be impaired by the strategic alliance with Allscripts and
that Healtheon/WebMD does not have a basis for unilaterally terminating the
Channelhealth or restructuring the IDX agreement. In addition, pursuant to the
strategic alliance agreement between Allscripts and IDX, each of Allscripts and
IDX agree not to take any action which would cause a default under or
termination of the agreement between Channelhealth and Healtheon/WebMD. In the
event the Healtheon/WebMD agreement is terminated, Channelhealth's and New
Allscripts' expected revenues for 2001 may be significantly lower than
currently anticipated, their business' may be harmed and New Allscripts' stock
price may fall.

Channelhealth's and New Allscripts' business will be harmed if they cannot
maintain the strategic alliance agreement and the cross license agreement with
IDX.

Upon completion of the mergers, New Allscripts will enter into a 10-year
strategic alliance agreement with IDX pursuant to which New Allscripts and IDX
will agree to coordinate product development and align their respective
marketing processes. Under this agreement IDX will grant New Allscripts the
exclusive right to market, sell, license and distribute ambulatory point-of-
care and clinical application products to IDX customers. This agreement does
not, however, limit IDX's continued development and distribution of its own
"LastWord" or radiology products and services. Channelhealth's and New
Allscripts' business strategy includes targeting current and prospective IDX
customers and their affiliates. If Channelhealth and New Allscripts fail to
successfully implement that business strategy, Channelhealth and New Allscripts
may not be able to achieve projected results or support the price paid for
Channelhealth. If IDX does not renew the strategic alliance agreement, or if
such agreement is terminated, Channelhealth and New Allscripts would lose
access to an important customer base. After the expiration or termination of
the strategic alliance agreement, New Allscripts may not be able to align with
another company to market and distribute its products on as favorable a basis
as that represented by the IDX strategic alliance. This would harm New
Allscripts' growth and revenue. In addition, prior to the termination of this
agreement, New Allscripts cannot allow certain specified IDX direct competitors
to market, distribute or sell its or Channelhealth's services, even if such an
agreement would benefit New Allscripts' business.

Also upon completion of the mergers, Channelhealth will enter into an
amended and restated cross license and software maintenance agreement with IDX
pursuant to which Channelhealth grants IDX a license to use, market and
sublicense its products combined with IDX products, and IDX grants
Channelhealth a license to use, market and sublicense IDX software for use with
Channelhealth products. If this agreement is terminated, Channelhealth will not
have access to IDX software, which would harm its and New Allscripts' ability
to integrate their services with IDX systems and provide real-time data
synchronization. This would make Channelhealth's systems less desirable to IDX
customers and would harm its business.

New Allscripts may have substantial sales of its common stock after the
transaction closes that could cause its stock price to fall.

Allscripts' common stock began trading on the Nasdaq National Market on July
23, 1999. After the mergers are completed, a substantial number of New
Allscripts shares will be eligible for public sale at various times thereafter.
Sales of a substantial number of shares of New Allscripts common stock after
the transaction closes could cause New Allscripts' stock price to fall.

Because New Allscripts' executive officers and directors will have substantial
control of its voting stock, takeovers not supported by them will be more
difficult, possibly preventing New Allscripts stockholders from obtaining an
optimal share price.

Upon completion of the merger, New Allscripts executive officers and
directors will beneficially own or control 18,184,741 shares or 48.3% of the
outstanding New Allscripts common stock. If the New Allscripts executive
officers and directors choose to act or vote together, they will have the power
to influence significantly all matters requiring the approval of New Allscripts
stockholders, including the election of     

26

directors and the approval of significant corporate transactions. Without the
consent of these stockholders, New Allscripts could be prevented from entering
into transactions that could be beneficial to it or its stockholders as a
whole.

Pursuant to the stock rights and restrictions agreement by and between IDX
and New Allscripts, IDX will be subject to various limitations and restrictions
surrounding its ownership of voting securities of New Allscripts. In limited
circumstances, under the stock rights and restrictions agreement, IDX must vote
all of its shares of New Allscripts securities in accordance with the
recommendation of the New Allscripts board of directors. This voting limitation
permits New Allscripts' directors to have substantial control over New
Allscripts' voting stock.

Certain stockholders, directors and/or officers may have interests that are
diverse or in addition to the remaining stockholders of Channelhealth.

In considering the recommendation of the Channelhealth board of directors
with respect to the Channelhealth merger, stockholders of Channelhealth should
be aware that certain members of Channelhealth's management, certain
stockholders and the Channelhealth board of directors have certain interests in
the merger that may present them with actual or potential conflicts of
interests. Completion of the merger will result in the appointment of Richard
E. Tarrant, Channelhealth's current Chairman of the Board, Chief Executive
Officer and President, to the New Allscripts board of directors to serve
initially as New Allscripts' sole non-executive Vice Chairman. Additionally,
New Allscripts will enter into an employment agreement with Pamela Pure,
currently Channelhealth's Vice President and Chief Operating Officer, with a
term of three years and a renewal option. New Allscripts will also enter into
severance agreements with certain specified Channelhealth management employees,
which will provide upon termination of the employee's employment with New
Allscripts prior to the first anniversary date following the completion of the
merger transactions for any reason other than cause, that the employee will
receive a cash severance payment equal to one-half of his or her annual salary.

Pursuant to the merger agreement, New Allscripts will assume all outstanding
Channelhealth employee stock options, excluding those stock options granted
under IDX's stock option plans, and convert each of those options into an
option to purchase New Allscripts common stock. New Allscripts and Allscripts
also agreed to guarantee, and to cause Channelhealth to maintain and perform,
Channelhealth's existing indemnification obligations to present and former
directors and officers of Channelhealth, with respect to matters occurring
through completion of the mergers to the extent required under Channelhealth's
certificate of incorporation and by-laws.

In addition, pursuant to the Channelhealth/IDX asset purchase agreement,
IDX, the majority stockholder of Channelhealth, will acquire the eCommerce
Channel and certain components of the Patient Channel in exchange for shares of
Channelhealth common stock held by IDX.

Channelhealth did not obtain a fairness opinion in connection with the
transactions contemplated by the merger agreement.

Stockholders of Channelhealth should be aware that Channelhealth did not
retain a financial advisor to assist it in its negotiations with Allscripts
(including, without limitation, rendering a fairness opinion) and its
consideration of other alternative transactions available to Channelhealth. In
reaching its conclusion not to retain a financial advisor, the Channelhealth
board of directors considered the expertise and experience of the non-employee
members of Channelhealth's board of directors. As a result, the Channelhealth
board of directors was confident that it possessed the sophistication and
expertise to evaluate the fairness of the merger and to recommend it to
Channelhealth's stockholders consistent with its fiduciary duties without
incurring the expense of retaining a financial advisor.

THE TRANSACTION

Overview

The merger agreement provides for a business combination between Allscripts
and Channelhealth and the creation of a new holding company, which we refer to
in this document as "New Allscripts," for Allscripts and Channelhealth. To
implement these transactions, prior to signing the merger agreement Allscripts
formed New Allscripts as a wholly-owned subsidiary of Allscripts and formed
Bursar Acquisition, Inc. and Bursar Acquisition No. 2, Inc. as wholly-owned
subsidiaries of New Allscripts. The merger agreement provides for the merger of
Bursar with and into Allscripts and the merger of Bursar No. 2 with and into
Channelhealth, in each case in exchange for shares of New Allscripts' common
stock, with Allscripts and Channelhealth surviving the mergers as wholly-owned
subsidiaries of New Allscripts. In the mergers, each outstanding share of
Allscripts common stock will be converted into one share of New Allscripts
common stock and each outstanding share of Channelhealth common stock and
Channelhealth preferred stock will be converted into the right to receive
0.33730 shares of New Allscripts common stock. As a result of the mergers, the
former holders of Allscripts common stock collectively will hold approximately
77.2% (approximately 78.1% on a fully diluted basis and treating option and
warrant holders as former stockholders) of the issued and outstanding shares of
New Allscripts common stock and the former holders of Channelhealth common and
preferred stock collectively will hold approximately 22.8% (approximately 21.9%
on a fully diluted basis and treating option and warrant holders as former
stockholders) of the issued and outstanding shares of New Allscripts common
stock. In addition, if following the completion of the mergers the
Channelhealth business generates specified minimum sales revenue during 2002,
New Allscripts will issue additional shares to former Channelhealth
stockholders with the result that their fully diluted percentage ownership
interest in New Allscripts would increase to as much as 24.3%, based on the
number of fully diluted New Allscripts shares calculated at the effective time
of the merger.     

Prior to the closing of the mergers, pursuant to an asset purchase agreement
executed at the same time as the merger agreement, IDX will acquire
Channelhealth's "eCommerce Channel" and "Patient Channel" businesses and
associated assets, rights, obligations and liabilities in consideration of the
return to Channelhealth of 2,771,009 shares of Channelhealth common stock
currently owned by IDX. In addition, upon completion of the mergers, New
Allscripts and IDX will execute a stock rights and restrictions agreement, a
10-year strategic alliance agreement and a cross license agreement. The
material terms of these agreements are summarized in "The Related Transaction
Agreements."

Background

In early 1999, IDX established a division to conduct its Internet business
under the brand name "IDX.com." On October 1, 1999, IDX reorganized its
Internet business by combining IDX.com and Channelhealth, Inc., an independent
privately held company acquired by IDX in April 1999. In January 2000,
Channelhealth completed the placement of 2,719,429 shares of its Series A
Convertible Preferred Stock to Pequot Private Equity Fund II, L.P., as lead
investor, and others. In the first quarter of 2000, Channelhealth considered an
initial public offering, but aborted the plan following the general decline in
the stock market price of equity securities of technology and Internet-related
companies that commenced late in the first quarter of 2000.

As part of its strategy of expanding its product and service offerings and
growing its business by reaching new customers, Allscripts regularly evaluates
acquisition opportunities involving businesses that it believes are
complementary.

In April 2000, representatives of Allscripts and IDX met to discuss the
possible merger of Allscripts and Channelhealth. On April 26, 2000, Allscripts
and IDX executed a non-disclosure agreement and commenced furnishing non-public
information regarding Allscripts and Channelhealth, respectively. In May 2000,
Allscripts engaged Goldman Sachs as its exclusive financial advisor in
connection with the Channelhealth opportunity. An

34

Allscripts team conducted preliminary due diligence on Channelhealth at IDX's
facilities in Burlington, Vermont in early May 2000. Members of Channelhealth's
management team, including Vincent Estrada and Pamela Pure, as well as IDX's
General Counsel, Robert W. Baker, Jr., and Chief Financial Officer, Jack Kane
participated in the diligence meetings and IDX's Chief Executive Officer,
Richard E. Tarrant, attended via teleconference. Allscripts completed its
preliminary valuation analyses and preliminary due diligence on Channelhealth
on May 9, 2000. Between May 9, 2000 and June 16, 2000, representatives of
Allscripts, Channelhealth and IDX held several discussions about various
transaction structures. Based on those discussions, Allscripts and IDX
concluded that Allscripts' acquisition of Channelhealth, without the
"eCommerce" and "Patient Channel" businesses, was the transaction structure
most likely to meet the strategic goals of both parties.

On June 16, 2000, Allscripts delivered an offer to IDX to acquire
Channelhealth, without its "eCommerce Channel" and "Patient Channel"
businesses, in consideration of a 21.3% equity ownership in Allscripts for
former Channelhealth stockholders on a fully diluted basis, with additional
shares to be issued to increase the former Channelhealth stockholders'
aggregate fully diluted ownership percentage to as much as 24.3% if the
Channelhealth business generated specified minimum post-closing sales revenue.
IDX's management preliminarily approved the Allscripts proposal, subject to
approval of the parties' boards of directors, the negotiation and execution of
definitive agreements and the completion of further confirmatory due diligence.

On July 2, 2000, Allscripts' counsel provided an initial draft of a share
exchange agreement and the stock rights and restrictions agreement to IDX,
Channelhealth and their respective counsel. Over the Fourth of July holiday
weekend, representatives of the parties conducted negotiations by telephone and
e-mail, and concluded that the transaction should go forward using the holding
company structure reflected in the merger agreement. Allscripts' counsel
circulated a draft merger agreement reflecting the holding company structure on
July 3, 2000. On July 5, 2000, Mr. Baker of IDX provided an initial draft of
the strategic alliance agreement to Allscripts and its counsel. Thereafter,
negotiations continued among representatives of Allscripts, Channelhealth and
IDX on the merger agreement, the stock rights and restrictions agreement, the
strategic alliance agreement and the other transaction agreements, and among
representatives of IDX and Channelhealth on an asset purchase agreement
pursuant to which the assets, rights, obligations and liabilities associated
with Channelhealth's "eCommerce Channel" and "Patient Channel" businesses would
be transferred to IDX prior to completion of the mergers in consideration of
the return by IDX to Channelhealth of a number of shares of Channelhealth's
common stock owned by IDX. On July 6, 2000, the Allscripts board of directors
was updated by Allscripts management as to the status of the merger
negotiations.

The Allscripts board of directors met by telephone conference call during
the morning of July 12, 2000 to receive an update on negotiations with respect
to the merger agreement and related transaction agreements. The board received
a report from Glen E. Tullman, Chairman of the Board and Chief Executive
Officer of Allscripts, representatives of Goldman Sachs and representatives of
Weil, Gotshal & Manges LLP, outside counsel to Allscripts. The board reconvened
by telephone conference call late in the evening of July 12, again with the
participation of representatives of Goldman Sachs and Weil Gotshal. At this
meeting, the board reviewed with management, their financial advisors and
counsel the terms of the merger agreement and the other significant transaction
agreements. Goldman Sachs made a presentation as to the fairness from a
financial point of view, of the merger consideration to be paid to the holders
of Channelhealth common stock by Allscripts pursuant to the merger agreement.
Following discussion and a question and answer period with representatives of
Goldman Sachs and Weil Gotshal, the Allscripts board unanimously approved the
merger agreement and the merger contemplated by the merger agreement, approved
the related transaction agreements and authorized management to proceed with
execution and delivery of the merger agreement, subject to confirmation that
Goldman Sachs would be prepared to issue its written fairness opinion based
upon the final language of the merger agreement and related transaction
agreements as negotiated by management and counsel with their counterparts at
IDX, Channelhealth and their respective counsels.

On July 11, 2000, the Channelhealth board of directors appointed a special
committee comprised of the two directors not employed by IDX or Channelhealth.
On July 12, the special committee reviewed with

35

management and legal counsel the transaction agreements and voted to recommend
approval of the merger agreement and the transactions contemplated by the
merger agreement, including the transfer of assets to IDX pursuant to the
Channelhealth/IDX asset purchase agreement and determined that the transactions
were in the best interests of the stockholders of Channelhealth. Later that
day, the Channelhealth board of directors unanimously approved the merger
agreement and the transactions contemplated by it and the Channelhealth/IDX
asset purchase agreement.

On July 13, 2000, prior to the commencement of trading on the Nasdaq
National Market, the parties executed the merger agreement and announced the
transaction.

On October 31, 2000, IDX received correspondence from W. Michael Long, the
Chairman of WebMD Corporation, a strategic partner of both IDX and
Channelhealth pursuant to separate agreements entered into with WebMD effective
June 6, 2000, expressing WebMD's belief that Channelhealth would be unable to
perform its obligations under its agreement with WebMD if the merger
transactions with Allscripts were completed. WebMD indicated that if the merger
transactions were completed, WebMD would seek to terminate its agreement with
Channelhealth. At the time of execution of the merger agreement,
Channelhealth's strategic relationship with WebMD was projected to be a
significant source of revenue to Channelhealth in 2001. In addition, during the
period between the execution of the merger agreement and November 2000, the
financial performance of Channelhealth deteriorated. As a result of these
events, members of Allscripts management expressed concern to the Allscripts
board that Channelhealth's business prospects may have changed since the time
of execution of the merger agreement.     

On November 27, 2000, the Allscripts board of directors met by telephone
conference to discuss Allscripts management's concern with Channelhealth's
business prospects. Representatives of Goldman Sachs and Weil Gotshal also
participated in that meeting. The board reviewed with management, its financial
advisors and its counsel the recent developments surrounding Channelhealth's
agreement with WebMD and the overall financial position of Channelhealth.
Allscripts management recommended that the board of directors request Goldman
Sachs to update the fairness opinion it delivered to the board at the time of
execution of the merger agreement. The board of directors unanimously agreed
that, in light of recent developments, it would seek Goldman Sachs' updated
opinion as to the fairness from a financial point of view of the merger
consideration to be paid to the holders of Channelhealth common stock by
Allscripts pursuant to the merger agreement.     

The Allscripts board of directors met again by telephone conference call on
the evening of November 28, 2000, to discuss the status of the merger
transactions. Allscripts management, as well as representatives of Goldman
Sachs and Weil Gotshal, participated in the conference call. Goldman Sachs made
a presentation as to the fairness from a financial point of view of the merger
consideration to be paid to the holders of Channelhealth common stock by
Allscripts pursuant to the merger agreement. Following discussion and a
question and answer period with representatives of Goldman Sachs and Weil
Gotshal, the Allscripts board of directors confirmed its approval of the merger
agreement, the merger contemplated by the merger agreement and the related
transaction agreements, subject to confirmation that Goldman Sachs would be
prepared to issue its updated written fairness opinion.     

On November 29, 2000, Goldman Sachs delivered its updated written fairness
opinion to the Allscripts board of directors. The written opinion of Goldman
Sachs, dated as of November 29, 2000, is set forth in Annex C. See "Opinion of
Allscripts Financial Advisor."     

Recommendation of the Allscripts Board of Directors; Allscripts' Reasons for
the Transaction

At its second meeting on July 12, 2000, the Allscripts board of directors
unanimously approved the merger agreement and the transactions contemplated by
the merger agreement, including the issuance to the stockholders of
Channelhealth of the number of shares of New Allscripts common stock necessary
to complete the merger with Channelhealth, and determined that the transactions
were in the best interests of the

36

stockholders of Allscripts. At a meeting on November 28, 2000, the Allscripts
board of directors determined that the transactions remained in the best
interests of the stockholders of Allscripts.     

THE ALLSCRIPTS BOARD OF DIRECTORS UNANIMOUSLY RECOMMENDS THAT HOLDERS OF
ALLSCRIPTS COMMON STOCK VOTE FOR THE MERGER PROPOSAL.

In reaching its determination to approve the merger agreement and the
transactions contemplated by the merger agreement, the Allscripts board
considered a number of factors, including, without limitation, the factors
listed below.

. New Allscripts, through the strategic alliance agreement, will gain
access to IDX's universe of doctors including approximately 118,000
physicians and over 2,000 client sites comprised of over 265 large-group
practices (greater than 75 physicians), over 510 small group practices
(fewer than 75 physicians) and over 280 integrated delivery networks
representing more than 370 hospitals.

. The transaction adds potentially high-growth businesses, which are
expected to increase 2001-2003 annual revenues.

. The potential exists for revenue synergies if New Allscripts can achieve
its goal of significantly penetrating the installed base of existing IDX
customers with sales of Allscripts' current products and the potential
exists for cost savings if New Allscripts can achieve its goal of
reducing materially Channelhealth's overhead expenses.

. The transaction is not expected to postpone Allscripts' projected
profitability in the first quarter of 2002 (on a cash earnings per share
basis), while adding potentially high-growth businesses.

. The Allscripts merger is expected to be completed on a tax-deferred basis
for federal income tax purposes.

. The transaction is expected to accelerate Channelhealth's ability to
increase physician adoption of its "Physician Channel" services through
the contribution by Allscripts of direct sales representatives as well as
service and support technicians, and the contribution by IDX of sales
representatives committed to meeting sales quotas for Channelhealth
offerings and combined Allscripts/Channelhealth product offerings.

. The transaction represents a cost-effective way for Allscripts to broaden
the functionality of its TouchScript product by (1) providing methodology
for reporting medically significant results such as transcriptions and
lab results, (2) strengthening its point-of-care offerings through
inclusion of lab ordering, referrals, charge capture and other clinical
transactions and (3) integrating its TouchScript point-of-care
applications with Channelhealth's Physician Homebase product.

. The presentation to the Allscripts board of directors by representatives
of Goldman Sachs and the opinion of Goldman Sachs delivered to the
Allscripts board of directors to the effect that the merger consideration
to be paid to the holders of Channelhealth common stock by Allscripts
pursuant to the merger agreement was fair to Allscripts from a financial
point of view. See "--Opinion of Allscripts' Financial Advisor."

In view of the number and wide variety of factors considered in connection
with its evaluation of the transaction, the Allscripts board did not consider
it practicable to, nor did it attempt to, quantify or otherwise assign relative
weights to the specific factors considered in reaching its determination. In
addition, the Allscripts board did not undertake to make any specific
determination as to whether any particular factor (or any aspect of any
particular factor) was favorable or unfavorable to its ultimate determination;
rather, it reached a general consensus that the transaction was in the best
interest of Allscripts and its stockholders. In considering the factors
described above, individual members of the Allscripts board may have given
different weight to different factors.

The Allscripts board members realize that there are risks associated with
the transaction, including that some of the potential benefits set forth above
may not be realized or that there may be significant costs

37

associated with realizing such benefits. The Allscripts board also considered
factors such as the risks associated with (1) New Allscripts' ability to retain
Channelhealth's management, key employees and sales personnel, (2) New
Allscripts' ability to maintain and expand relationships with IDX's customers,
(3) New Allscripts' and Channelhealth's ability to maintain licensing,
marketing and distribution arrangements with IDX following completion of the
mergers and (4) the limited operating history and historical losses of
Channelhealth. These factors are discussed more fully in this proxy
statement/prospectus on page 23 under "Risk Factors."

Recommendation of the Special Committee and the Board of Directors of
Channelhealth; Channelhealth's Reasons for the Transaction

On July 11, 2000, the Channelhealth board of directors appointed a special
committee comprised of the two directors not employed by IDX or Channelhealth.
On July 12, the special committee voted to recommend approval of the merger
agreement and the transactions contemplated by the merger agreement and the
transfer of assets to IDX pursuant to the Channelhealth/IDX asset purchase
agreement and determined that the transactions were fair and in the best
interests of the stockholders of Channelhealth. Later that day, the
Channelhealth board of directors unanimously approved the merger agreement and
the transactions contemplated by it and the Channelhealth/IDX asset purchase
agreement.

THE CHANNELHEALTH BOARD OF DIRECTORS UNANIMOUSLY RECOMMENDS THAT HOLDERS OF
CHANNELHEALTH VOTING STOCK VOTE FOR THE MERGER PROPOSAL.

The special committee, in resolving to recommend approval of the merger
agreement and the transactions contemplated by the merger agreement, and the
Channelhealth board of directors, in reaching its determination to approve the
merger agreement and the transactions contemplated by the merger agreement,
considered a number of factors, including, without limitation, the factors
listed below:

. The potential exists for revenue synergies if New Allscripts can achieve
its goal of accelerating significantly Channelhealth's product rollout
and market penetration and the potential exists for cost savings if New
Allscripts can achieve its goal of reducing materially Channelhealth's
overhead expenses.

. The mergers are expected to be completed on a tax-deferred basis for
federal income tax purposes (other than with respect to cash received in
lieu of fractional shares).

. The transaction is anticipated to accelerate Channelhealth's ability to
increase physician adoption of its "Physician Channel" services through
the contribution by Allscripts of direct sales representatives as well as
service and support technicians, and the contribution by IDX of sales
representatives committed to meeting sales quotas for Channelhealth
offerings and combined Allscripts/Channelhealth product offerings.

. The transaction represents a cost-effective way for Channelhealth to
broaden the functionality of its "Physician Channel" services by (1)
providing linkage to transcription services which, combined with
Allscripts' MasterChart technology, provides a highly competitive
offering and (2) integrating with Allscripts' TouchScript point-of-care
applications.

. The transaction is anticipated to enable Channelhealth to more
effectively distribute its product offerings through Allscripts' sales
distribution channels.

. The structure of the merger that affords Channelhealth stockholders a
choice of whether to seek complete or increased liquidity after the
merger through a sale of New Allscripts common stock on the open market
or to continue their investment in Channelhealth, through New Allscripts.

. By receiving New Allscripts common stock, the Channelhealth stockholders
will have an investment in a larger company, which the Channelhealth
board of directors believes offers greater financial resources and
flexibility, competitive strength and business opportunities than would
be possible for Channelhealth alone. Thus, the Channelhealth board of
directors has concluded that the merger provides Channelhealth
stockholders with better long-term prospects and liquidity than if they
continued to hold their Channelhealth common shares and preferred shares.

38

. During the period of March 2000 through April 2000, the Channelhealth
board of directors considered an initial public offering of equity
securities of Channelhealth. Considering the various factors necessary to
complete a successful initial public offering and given the current
market climate, the Channelhealth board of directors concluded that
Channelhealth could not reasonably anticipate completing such a
transaction in the near future. Furthermore, there could be no assurances
that the market would be amenable to a public offering by Channelhealth
at the time or that a favorable price could be achieved.

. The Channelhealth board of directors reviewed with its counsel and with
management the provisions of the merger agreement and determined that its
terms permitted Channelhealth to achieve the tax-deferred disposition of
its business for marketable securities in a manner that is fair to the
Channelhealth stockholders.

Based upon the foregoing, the Channelhealth board of directors concluded at
its July 12, 2000 meeting that the merger represents the best strategic
alternative currently available to maximize the return to Channelhealth
stockholders. In view of the wide variety of factors considered in connection
with the evaluation of the merger, the Channelhealth board of directors did not
find it practicable to, nor did it attempt to, quantify or otherwise assign
relative weights to the specific factors it considered in reaching its
determination.

Opinion of Allscripts' Financial Advisor

On July 13, 2000, Goldman Sachs delivered its oral opinion, which it
confirmed in a written opinion dated as of July 13, 2000, and, on November 28,
2000, subsequently delivered its oral opinion, which it confirmed in a written
opinion dated as of November 29, 2000, to the Allscripts board of directors,
that as of the date of each such opinion the merger consideration to be paid to
the holders of Channelhealth common stock by Allscripts pursuant to the merger
agreement was fair from a financial point of view to Allscripts.     

The full text of the written opinion of Goldman Sachs dated November 29,
2000, which sets forth assumptions made, matters considered and limitations on
the review undertaken in connection with the opinion, is contained in Annex C.
Goldman Sachs provided its advisory services and its opinion for the
information and assistance of the Allscripts board of directors in connection
with its consideration of the merger. The Goldman Sachs opinion is not a
recommendation as to how any holder of Allscripts common stock should vote at
the Allscripts special meeting. Stockholders of Allscripts are urged to read
such opinion in its entirety.     

In connection with its opinion, Goldman Sachs reviewed, among other things:

. the merger agreement;

. the form of strategic alliance agreement;

. the form of stock rights and restrictions agreement;

. the registration statement on form S-4, including the proxy
statement/prospectus related to the special meeting of stockholders of
Allscripts;     

. the annual report to stockholders and annual report on Form 10-K of
Allscripts for the year ended December 31, 1999;

. the annual reports to stockholders and annual reports on Form 10-K of IDX
for the five years ended December 31, 1999;

. a number of interim reports to stockholders and quarterly reports on Form
10-Q of Allscripts and IDX;

. certain other communications from Allscripts and IDX to their respective
stockholders; and

. a number of internal financial analyses and forecasts for Allscripts and
Channelhealth prepared by their respective managements, including certain
cost savings and operating synergies projected by the management of
Allscripts to result from the transactions contemplated by the merger
agreement.

Goldman Sachs also held discussions with members of the senior management of
Allscripts regarding the strategic rationale for, and the potential benefits
of, the transactions contemplated by the merger agreement and its past and
current business operations, financial condition and future prospects. In
addition, Goldman Sachs

39

reviewed the reported price and trading activity for the Allscripts common
stock, compared financial and stock market information for Allscripts and
financial information for Channelhealth with similar information for certain
other companies the securities of which are publicly traded, reviewed the
financial terms of certain recent business combinations in the healthcare
information technology industry specifically and in other industries generally.
Goldman Sachs also performed such other studies and analyses that it considered
appropriate.

Goldman Sachs relied upon the accuracy and completeness of all of the
financial and other information discussed with or reviewed by it and assumed
such accuracy and completeness for purposes of rendering its opinion. In that
regard, Goldman Sachs assumed, with the consent of the Allscripts board of
directors, that the forecasts for Allscripts and Channelhealth prepared by the
management of Allscripts and Channelhealth and the synergies have been
reasonably prepared on a basis reflecting the best currently available
estimates and judgments of Allscripts, and that such synergies will be realized
in the amounts and the time periods contemplated thereby. In addition, Goldman
Sachs did not make an independent evaluation or appraisal of the assets and
liabilities of Allscripts, Channelhealth, IDX or any of their subsidiaries. No
evaluation or appraisal of the assets and liabilities of Allscripts,
Channelhealth, IDX or any of their subsidiaries was furnished to Goldman Sachs.
Goldman Sachs relied upon the assumption that the strategic alliance agreement
and the stock rights and restrictions agreement, when entered into by New
Allscripts and IDX, will be in the forms attached as Exhibit D and Exhibit E to
the merger agreement, respectively.

The following is a summary of the material financial analyses used by
Goldman Sachs in connection with providing its November 29, 2000 written
opinion to the Allscripts board of directors. Some of the summaries of the
financial analyses include information presented in tabular format. In order to
more fully understand the financial analyses used by Goldman Sachs, the tables
must be read together with the full text of each summary. The tables alone are
not a complete description of Goldman Sachs' financial analyses.     

Discounted Cash Flow Analysis

Goldman Sachs performed a discounted cash flow analysis to determine the
theoretical enterprise value of Channelhealth utilizing its management
projections, which were refined and approved by Allscripts management. This
analysis assumes that the transaction closes on, and cash flows are discounted
to, December 31, 2000.     

Goldman Sachs applied discount rates ranging from 15.0% to 25.0% and
terminal value multiples of estimated 2004 earnings before interest, taxes,
depreciation and amortization, sometimes referred to as EBITDA, ranging from
5.0x to 10.0x. The various ranges for discount rates and terminal value
multiples were chosen by Goldman Sachs based upon theoretical analyses of cost
of capital ranges that could be applicable. Based on these discount rates and
terminal value multiples, Goldman Sachs derived theoretical enterprise values
ranging from:     

. $81.5 million to $234.9 million.     

Goldman Sachs also performed a discounted cash flow analysis to determine
the theoretical value of the revenue synergies that might result from the
transaction utilizing Allscripts' management projections. This analysis assumes
that the transaction closes on, and cash flows are discounted to, December 31,
2000.     

Goldman Sachs applied discount rates ranging from 15.0% to 20.0% and
terminal value multiples of estimated 2010 EBITDA ranging from 6.0x to 10.0x.
The various ranges for discount rates and terminal value multiples were chosen
by Goldman Sachs based upon theoretical analyses of cost of capital ranges that
could be applicable. Based on these discount rates and terminal value
multiples, Goldman Sachs derived theoretical revenue synergies values ranging
from:

. $171.9 million to $382.9 million.     

40

Selected Companies Analysis

Goldman Sachs reviewed and compared financial information of Channelhealth
to corresponding financial information, ratios and public market multiples for
selected publicly traded healthcare information technology Internet companies.
Goldman Sachs selected the following companies for comparison because they are
publicly traded companies with certain operations that for purposes of analysis
may be considered similar to certain operations of Channelhealth:

The selected publicly traded healthcare information technology Internet
companies consisted of:

. Allscripts, Inc.;

. WebMD Corp.;     

. MedicaLogic/Medscape, Inc.;     

. I-Many, Inc.; and     

. The TriZetto Group, Inc..     

Goldman Sachs calculated and compared various financial multiples and ratios
for the selected companies based on financial data as of November 24, 2000,
estimated 2000 revenue data primarily based on Goldman Sachs research and
estimated 2001 revenue data primarily based on Institutional Broker's Estimate
System, sometimes referred to as IBES, and Wall Street research (estimated 2000
and 2001 revenue data for Allscripts based on its management projections as of
June 2000). The multiples for the selected companies were calculated using
closing per share prices as of November 24, 2000. With respect to each of the
selected healthcare information technology--Internet companies, Goldman Sachs
considered:     

. estimated 2000 and estimated 2001 revenue multiples; and

. IBES long-term growth rates.

The results of these analyses are summarized in the following charts.

Pro-Forma Merger Analysis

Goldman Sachs prepared a pro forma analysis of the financial impact of the
merger using Allscripts management estimates for Allscripts and Channelhealth.
Goldman Sachs analyzed, assuming synergies projected by Allscripts management,
on a pro forma basis:

. the accretion or dilution to cash earnings per share of the common stock
of the combined company for each of the years 2001 and 2002.

The analysis indicated that the proposed transaction would be dilutive to
cash EPS in estimated year 2001, dilutive to cash EPS in estimated year 2002
with 50% synergies and accretive to cash EPS in estimated year 2002 with 100%
synergies.     

Contribution Analysis

Goldman Sachs reviewed historical and estimated future operating and
financial information, including, among other things, revenues and gross
profit, for Allscripts, Channelhealth and the pro forma combined entity
resulting from the merger based on Allscripts' and Channelhealth's management
projections. A contribution

analysis demonstrates the parties' respective historical and projected
contributions, on a percentage basis, to certain income statement items of the
combined company and compares such contributions to the parties' stockholders'
relative equity interests in the combined company following the merger.

Goldman Sachs analyzed the relative income statement contribution of
Allscripts and Channelhealth to the combined company on a pro forma basis based
on financial data and on the assumptions provided to Goldman Sachs by
Allscripts and Channelhealth managements for estimated years 2001 through 2003
and for estimated years 2001 through 2003 with 50% synergies to each.

General

The preparation of a fairness opinion is a complex process and is not
necessarily susceptible to partial analysis or summary description. Selecting
portions of the analyses or of the summary set forth above, without considering
the analyses as a whole, could create an incomplete view of the processes
underlying Goldman Sachs' opinion. In arriving at its fairness determination,
Goldman Sachs considered the results of each of these analyses in their
totality. No company or transaction used in the above analyses as a comparison
is directly comparable to Channelhealth or the merger. The analyses were
prepared for purposes of Goldman Sachs' providing its opinion to Allscripts'
board of directors as to the fairness from a financial point of view of the
merger consideration to be paid to the holders of Channelhealth common stock by
Allscripts and do not purport to be appraisals or necessarily reflect the
prices at which businesses or securities actually may be sold. Analyses based
upon forecasts of future results are not necessarily indicative of actual
future results, which may be significantly more or less favorable than
suggested by those analyses. These analyses are inherently subject to
uncertainty, being based upon numerous factors or events beyond the control of
the parties or their advisors. As described above, Goldman Sachs' opinion to
Allscripts' board of directors was one of many factors taken into consideration
by Allscripts' board of directors in making its determination to approve the
merger agreement. The terms of the merger, including the merger consideration,
were determined through arm's-length negotiations between Allscripts, IDX and
Channelhealth. This summary is not a complete description of the analysis
performed by Goldman Sachs and is qualified by reference to the written opinion
of Goldman Sachs set forth in Annex C.     

Goldman Sachs, as part of its investment banking business, is continually
engaged in the valuation of businesses and their securities in connection with
mergers and acquisitions, negotiated underwritings, competitive biddings,
secondary distributions of listed and unlisted securities, private placements
and valuations for estate, corporate and other purposes. Allscripts selected
Goldman Sachs as its financial advisor because it is a nationally recognized
investment banking firm that has substantial experience in transactions similar
to the merger. Goldman Sachs is familiar with Allscripts, having provided
certain investment banking services to Allscripts from time to time, including
having acted as managing underwriter of the initial public offering of
Allscripts common stock on July 23, 1999 and having acted as managing
underwriter of the public offering of

42

Allscripts common stock on March 6, 2000. In addition, Goldman Sachs has acted
as Allscripts' financial advisor in connection with, and has participated in
certain of the negotiations leading to, the merger agreement. Goldman Sachs
provides a full range of financial advisory and securities services and, in the
course of its normal trading activities, may from time to time effect
transactions and hold securities, including derivative securities, of
Allscripts or IDX for its own account and for the accounts of customers.

Pursuant to a letter agreement dated May 9, 2000, Allscripts engaged Goldman
Sachs to act as its financial advisor in connection with the possible
acquisition of all or a portion of the stock or assets of Channelhealth.
Pursuant to the terms of the letter agreement, Allscripts has agreed to pay
Goldman Sachs a fee in an amount customary for similar transactions upon
consummation of the merger. Allscripts has agreed to reimburse Goldman Sachs
for its reasonable out-of-pocket expenses, including attorney's fees, and to
indemnify Goldman Sachs against certain liabilities, including certain
liabilities under the federal securities laws.

Interests of Certain Persons in the Transaction

In considering the recommendation of the Channelhealth board of directors
with respect to the merger agreement, Channelhealth stockholders should be
aware that some members of the management of Channelhealth and the board of
directors of Channelhealth have interests in the Channelhealth merger that may
be different from, or in addition to, the interests of the other Channelhealth
stockholders generally.

New Allscripts Board Of Directors

Richard E. Tarrant, Channelhealth's current Chairman of the Board, Chief
Executive Officer and President, will be appointed to the New Allscripts board
of directors to serve initially as the board's sole non-executive Vice
Chairman. For information about the benefits to be received by New Allscripts
directors, see "Management of New Allscripts--Directors--Compensation of
Directors" and for information about the circumstances in which IDX remains
entitled to appoint a designee to the New Allscripts board and Mr. Tarrant
remains entitled to serve as the board's sole non-executive Vice Chairman, see
"The Related Transaction Agreements--The Stock Rights and Restrictions
Agreement--New Allscripts Board of Directors."

IDX

In connection with the mergers, 2,771,009 shares of Channelhealth common
stock will be returned to Channelhealth by IDX pursuant to the
Channelhealth/IDX asset purchase agreement in exchange for certain assets,
including the "eCommerce Channel" and certain components of the "Patient
Channel," from Channelhealth. In addition, upon completion of the mergers, IDX
will enter into a 10-year strategic alliance agreement with New Allscripts and
a cross license agreement with Channelhealth. The material terms of the asset
purchase agreement are summarized in "The Merger Agreement--Channelhealth/IDX
Asset Purchase Agreement," and the material terms of the strategic alliance
agreement and the amended and restated cross license and software maintenance
agreement are summarized in "The Related Transaction Agreements."

Employment Agreement

In connection with the mergers, New Allscripts will enter into an employment
agreement with Pamela Pure, currently Channelhealth's Vice President and Chief
Operating Officer, with a term of three years and a renewal option on terms
agreeable to New Allscripts and Ms. Pure. Under the agreement, Ms. Pure will
receive an annual salary of $210,000, plus other specified benefits for serving
as President of Channelhealth. Ms. Pure will also receive an annual performance
bonus of up to $73,500, with the exact amount to be determined by Allscripts'
Chief Executive Officer and its President. The employment agreement also
provides that, in addition to the New Allscripts stock options into which the
Channelhealth stock options currently held by Ms. Pure will be converted
pursuant to the merger agreement, Ms. Pure will receive options to purchase a
number of shares of New Allscripts common stock at an exercise price per share
equal to the closing price of the Allscripts common stock on the date of
completion of the merger transactions, such that, together with the options
converted pursuant to the merger agreement, Ms. Pure will hold a total of
100,000 New Allscripts stock options.     

43

New Allscripts' employment agreement with Ms. Pure will also provide that if
she is terminated other than for "cause" or if she resigns as President of
Channelhealth for "good reason," she will receive severance pay in an amount
equal to one year's salary. In the event Ms. Pure resigns her employment with
New Allscripts other than for good reason or her employment is terminated for
cause, she will not be entitled to a severance benefit.

A termination by Ms. Pure of her employment agreement for good reason means
a termination by her following:

. an intentional, willful and material failure of New Allscripts to meet
its obligations in any material respect under the employment agreement,
which remains uncured one week after Ms. Pure has provided written notice
of such failure;

. a substantial adverse diminution in the nature or status of Ms. Pure's
responsibilities with New Allscripts; or

. a requirement that Ms. Pure relocate her residence to a location greater
than 100 miles from her then current residence without her consent.

A termination by New Allscripts of Ms. Pure's employment for cause means a
termination by New Allscripts following:

. her willful or grossly negligent failure to perform her duties and
obligations under the employment agreement;

. her commission of acts of gross misconduct that materially impair the
goodwill or business of New Allscripts or cause material damage to its
property, goodwill or business;

. her conviction of a felony involving moral turpitude; or

. her violation of law in connection with her employment in a manner that
is materially injurious to New Allscripts, monetarily or otherwise.

The employment agreement will also include provisions that restrict Ms. Pure
during the term of her employment with New Allscripts and for one year
thereafter from (1) conspiring with other New Allscripts employees to engage in
or have an interest in "directly competitive" businesses, (2) working for or
having an interest in "directly competitive" businesses (subject to her right
to own up to 2% of a publicly traded entity), (3) soliciting the services of or
hiring other New Allscripts employees or (4) contacting or soliciting New
Allscripts' customers for the purpose of selling products or services to them
that are the same as or substantially similar to the products or services
offered by New Allscripts.

Severance Agreements

In connection with the mergers, New Allscripts will enter into severance
agreements with certain specified Channelhealth management employees. The
agreement will provide that upon a termination of the employee's employment
with New Allscripts prior to the first anniversary date following completion of
the merger transactions for any reason other than for cause, the employee will
receive a cash severance payment equal to one-half of his or her annual salary.

A termination by New Allscripts of an employee's employment for cause means
a termination by New Allscripts following:

. the employee's refusal or willful failure to perform the duties and
obligations of his or her employment in any material respect that remains
uncured 30 days following receipt of written notice of the refusal or
failure from New Allscripts;

. the employee's commission of acts of gross misconduct that materially
impair the goodwill or business of New Allscripts or cause material
damage to its property, goodwill or business;

. the employee's conviction of or entering of a plea of nolo contendere to
a felony involving moral turpitude; or

44

. the employee's violation of law in connection with his or her employment
in a manner that is materially injurious to New Allscripts, monetarily or
otherwise.

The severance agreements will also include provisions that restrict the
employee during the term of his or her employment with New Allscripts from (1)
conspiring with other New Allscripts employees to engage in or have an interest
in "directly competitive" businesses, (2) working for or having an interest in
"directly competitive" businesses (subject to the employee's right to own up to
2% of a publicly traded entity), (3) soliciting the services of or hiring other
New Allscripts employees or (4) contracting or soliciting New Allscripts'
customers for the purpose of selling products or services to them that are the
same as or substantially similar to the products or services offered by New
Allscripts.

Stock Options

Upon completion of the mergers, New Allscripts will assume all outstanding
Channelhealth stock options and convert each of those options into an option to
purchase a number of shares of New Allscripts common stock equal to the number
of shares of Channelhealth common stock subject to the Channelhealth option
multiplied by 0.33730, which is the exchange ratio for converting Channelhealth
common and preferred stock into New Allscripts common stock in the
Channelhealth merger, at an exercise price equal to the former exercise price
under the Channelhealth option divided by the 0.33730 exchange ratio. Generally
these assumed options will be subject to the same terms and conditions,
including with respect to expiration date, vesting and exercise provisions, as
previously applied to the converted Channelhealth options. Upon completion of
the merger transactions, there will be outstanding among these assumed options,
options to purchase approximately 1,091,251 shares of Channelhealth common
stock held by individuals other than Channelhealth employees, which will
convert into options to purchase approximately 368,079 shares of New Allscripts
common stock. Of those options, options to purchase approximately 358,778
shares of New Allscripts common stock will be fully vested and exercisable as
of the date of grant at an exercise price of $29.65 (subject to adjustment for
any stock split or reclassification) per share and will be exercisable at any
time up to the tenth anniversary of the date of grant, and options to purchase
approximately 9,301 shares of New Allscripts common stock will be exercisable
ratably over four years at an exercise price of $29.65 (subject to adjustment
for any stock split or reclassification) per share up to the tenth anniversary
of the date of grant.     

Indemnification of Channelhealth Officers And Directors

From and after the effective time of the mergers, New Allscripts and
Allscripts agreed jointly and severally to guarantee, and to cause
Channelhealth to maintain and perform, Channelhealth's existing indemnification
obligations to present and former directors and officers of Channelhealth with
respect to matters occurring through completion of the mergers to the extent
required under Channelhealth's certificate of incorporation and by-laws in
effect as of the date of the merger agreement and as permitted under and
consistent with applicable law, for a period of not less than six years after
the completion of the mergers. In addition, for six years from the effective
time of the mergers, New Allscripts agreed to maintain in effect
Channelhealth's current directors' and officers' liability insurance covering
those persons who are currently covered by Channelhealth's directors' and
officers' liability insurance policy, provided that in no event is New
Allscripts required to expend for any one year an amount in excess of 200% of
the annual premiums currently paid by Channelhealth for this insurance.
However, if the annual premiums exceed the 200% cap, New Allscripts agreed to
obtain a policy with the greatest coverage available for a cost not exceeding
the cap.

Regulatory Approval

Hart-Scott-Rodino Act

Under the Hart-Scott-Rodino Antitrust Improvements Act of 1976, as amended,
which we refer to as the Hart-Scott-Rodino Act, and the regulations promulgated
thereunder, transactions such as the mergers may not be consummated until
notifications have been given and certain information has been furnished to the
Antitrust

45

Division of the United States Department of Justice and the Federal Trade
Commission and specified waiting period requirements have expired or
terminated. We have filed all appropriate notification and report forms with
the Antitrust Division and the Federal Trade Commission with respect to the
mergers, and the waiting period with respect to such filings terminated on
August 23, 2000.

Other Antitrust

Other antitrust authorities may also bring legal action under state or
federal antitrust laws. Such action could include seeking to enjoin the
consummation of the mergers or seeking divestiture of certain assets of
Allscripts or Channelhealth. Private parties may also seek to take legal action
under the antitrust laws under certain circumstances. We cannot predict whether
or not a challenge to the mergers on antitrust grounds will be made or, if such
a challenge is made, what the result might be.

Status of Regulatory Approvals and Other Information

We have filed applications with all applicable domestic regulatory agencies
and have taken, or will take, other appropriate action with respect to any
requisite approvals or other action of any court, administrative agency or
commission or other governmental authority or instrumentality, whose consent,
approval, order or authorization, or with whom registration, declaration or
filing of the merger agreement is required to consummate the mergers, subject
to the provisions of the merger agreement.

The merger agreement provides that the obligation of each of the parties to
consummate the mergers is conditioned upon, among other things, the absence of
any statute, rule, regulation, order or decree of any governmental body or
authority prohibiting consummation of the mergers. We cannot predict whether or
not any governmental agency will approve or take any other required action with
respect to the mergers, and, if approvals are received or action is taken,
whether or not those approvals or action will be conditioned upon matters that
would cause us to abandon the mergers. In addition, we cannot predict whether
or not an action will be brought challenging such approvals or action, or, if
such challenge is made, what the result might be.

We are not aware of any material governmental approvals or actions that may
be required for consummation of the merger transactions other than as described
above.

Accounting Treatment

New Allscripts will account for the merger transactions under the purchase
method of accounting, with Allscripts treated as the acquiror. As a result, New
Allscripts will record the assets and liabilities of Allscripts at historical
amounts, without restatement to fair values. New Allscripts will record the
assets (including both tangible and identifiable intangible assets) and
liabilities of Channelhealth at their estimated fair values at the date of the
mergers, with the excess of the purchase price over the sum of such fair values
recorded as goodwill. For this purpose, the purchase price is based upon the
market capitalization of Allscripts using an average trading price of
Allscripts common shares for a period immediately before and after the
announcement of the merger transactions. See "New Allscripts Consolidated
Condensed Pro Forma Financial Statements."

United States Federal Income Tax Consequences

The following discussion is a general summary of the material federal income
tax consequences of the Allscripts and Channelhealth mergers and is based on
the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended, the final, proposed and
temporary Treasury Regulations promulgated thereunder, administrative rulings
and interpretations, and judicial decisions, in each case as in effect as of
the date hereof. All of the foregoing are subject to change at any time,
possibly with retroactive effect. The discussion set forth below does not
address all aspects of federal income taxation that may be relevant to a
stockholder in light of such stockholder's particular circumstances or to
stockholders subject to special rules under the federal income tax laws, such
as non-United States persons, financial institutions, tax-exempt organizations,
insurance companies, dealers in

46

securities or stockholders who acquired their Allscripts or Channelhealth
shares pursuant to the exercise of employee stock options or otherwise as
compensation, nor any consequences arising under the laws of any state, local
or foreign jurisdiction. This discussion assumes that holders of Allscripts
common stock and holders of Channelhealth common stock or preferred stock hold
their respective shares of stock as capital assets within the meaning of
Section 1221 of the Internal Revenue Code.

None of Allscripts, New Allscripts, Channelhealth or IDX intends to secure a
ruling from the Internal Revenue Service with respect to the tax consequences
of the merger transactions. Weil, Gotshal & Manges LLP has delivered to
Allscripts an opinion dated December 6, 2000, a copy of which is filed as
Exhibit 8.1 to the registration statement filed by New Allscripts, to the
effect that (based upon and subject to the facts, representations, covenants
and assumptions set forth therein) the Allscripts merger will be treated as a
reorganization within the meaning of Section 368(a) of the Internal Revenue
Code. It is a condition to the obligation of Allscripts to complete the merger
transactions that Allscripts shall have received an opinion, dated the date of
completion of the mergers, from Weil, Gotshal & Manges LLP to the effect that
the Allscripts merger will be treated as a reorganization within the meaning of
Section 368(a) of the Internal Revenue Code or an exchange under Section 351 of
the Internal Revenue Code. Hale and Dorr LLP has delivered to IDX an opinion
dated December 6, 2000, a copy of which is filed as Exhibit 8.2 to the
registration statement filed by New Allscripts, to the effect that (based upon
and subject to the facts, representations, covenants and assumptions set forth
therein) the Channelhealth merger will be treated as an exchange under Section
351 of the Internal Revenue Code. The opinions of Weil, Gotshal & Manges LLP
and Hale and Dorr LLP, filed as exhibits to the registration statement filed by
New Allscripts, are based on facts existing at the date hereof and at the date
of completion of the mergers. In rendering such opinions, Weil, Gotshal &
Manges LLP and Hale and Dorr LLP have assumed the absence of changes in
existing facts and have relied on representations and covenants made by
Allscripts, New Allscripts, Channelhealth, IDX and others. The opinion of Weil,
Gotshal & Manges LLP dated the date of the completion of the mergers will be
based on facts existing at such date and will also rely on representations and
covenants made by Allscripts, New Allscripts, Channelhealth, IDX and others.

Federal Income Tax Implications to Allscripts Stockholders

Based on the advice of Weil, Gotshal & Manges LLP, counsel to Allscripts,
assuming the Allscripts merger is treated as a reorganization within the
meaning of Section 368(a) of the Internal Revenue Code:

. no gain or loss will be recognized for federal income tax purposes by a
holder of Allscripts common stock upon the exchange of Allscripts common
stock for New Allscripts common stock pursuant to the Allscripts merger;

. a stockholder's aggregate tax basis in New Allscripts common stock
received pursuant to the Allscripts merger will be the same as such
stockholder's aggregate tax basis in the Allscripts common stock that was
exchanged therefor; and

. a stockholder's holding period in New Allscripts common stock received
pursuant to the Allscripts merger will include the period during which
such stockholder held the Allscripts common stock exchanged therefor.

Federal Income Tax Implications to Channelhealth Stockholders

Based on the advice of Hale and Dorr LLP, counsel to IDX, assuming the
Channelhealth merger is treated as an exchange under Section 351 of the
Internal Revenue Code and that the only consideration received by the
Channelhealth stockholders is New Allscripts common stock, cash in lieu of a
fractional share of New Allscripts common stock and earnout shares:

. no income, gain or loss will be recognized for federal income tax
purposes by a holder of Channelhealth stock upon the exchange of
Channelhealth common or preferred stock for New Allscripts common stock
pursuant to the Channelhealth merger, except as described below with
respect to cash received in lieu of

47

a fractional share of New Allscripts common stock and the portion of the
earnout shares that is characterized as interest for federal income tax
purposes;

. a stockholder's aggregate tax basis in New Allscripts common stock
received pursuant to the Channelhealth merger (excluding the portion of
the earnout shares which will be characterized as interest for federal
income tax purposes as described below) will be the same as such
stockholder's aggregate tax basis in the Channelhealth stock exchanged
therefor;

. a stockholder's holding period of the New Allscripts common stock
received pursuant to the Channelhealth merger (excluding the portion of
the earnout shares which will be characterized as interest for federal
income tax purposes as described below) will include the period during
which such stockholder held the Channelhealth common and preferred stock
exchanged therefor;

. cash received by holders of Channelhealth stock in lieu of a fractional
share of New Allscripts common stock will be treated as received in
exchange for such fractional share interest, and capital gain or loss
will be recognized for federal income tax purposes, measured by the
difference between the amount of cash received and the portion of the
basis of the Channelhealth stock allocable to the fractional share
interest, and such capital gain or loss will be long-term if the
Channelhealth stock had been held for more than one year at the time of
the Channelhealth merger; and

. a portion of the earnout shares received pursuant to the Channelhealth
merger will be characterized as interest and taxable to the Channelhealth
stockholders as ordinary income for federal income tax purposes if and
when such holder receives the earnout shares.

A holder of Channelhealth stock who receives or may receive earnout shares
and who sells less than all of the shares he, she or it received or may receive
in the Channelhealth merger should consult his, her or its tax advisor as to
the proper method of determining the basis and holding period of the shares
that are sold.

The above discussion does not apply to stockholders who exercise appraisal
rights. A holder of Channelhealth stock who exercises appraisal rights with
respect to the Channelhealth merger and receives cash for shares of
Channelhealth stock will generally recognize capital gain (or loss) measured by
the difference between the amount of cash received and the stockholder's basis
in those shares. The capital gain or loss will be long-term capital gain or
loss if the holder's holding period for the shares is more than one year.

Under the Internal Revenue Code, a holder of Channelhealth stock may be
subject, under certain circumstances, to backup withholding at a rate of 31%
with respect to the amount of cash, if any, received in lieu of a fractional
share of New Allscripts common stock or pursuant to the exercise of appraisal
rights unless the holder provides proof of an applicable exemption or a correct
taxpayer identification number, and otherwise complies with applicable
requirements of the backup withholding rules. Any amount withheld under the
backup withholding rules is not an additional tax and may be refunded or
credited against the holder's federal income tax liability, provided the
required information is furnished to the Internal Revenue Service.     

HOLDERS OF ALLSCRIPTS COMMON STOCK, CHANNELHEALTH COMMON STOCK AND
CHANNELHEALTH PREFERRED STOCK ARE ADVISED TO CONSULT THEIR OWN TAX ADVISORS
REGARDING THE FEDERAL INCOME TAX CONSEQUENCES OF THE TRANSACTION, WHICH MAY
VARY FOR HOLDERS IN DIFFERENT TAX SITUATIONS, INCLUDING THE APPLICABILITY AND
EFFECT OF FOREIGN, STATE, LOCAL AND OTHER TAX LAWS AND THE EFFECT OF ANY
PROPOSED CHANGES IN THE TAX LAWS.

Stock Market Listing

New Allscripts will apply to authorize the New Allscripts common stock for
quotation on the Nasdaq National Market and anticipates that its shares will
trade on the Nasdaq National Market, upon official notice of issuance, under
the symbol "MDRX."

48

Federal Securities Laws Consequences

All shares of New Allscripts common stock received by Allscripts
stockholders and Channelhealth common and preferred stockholders upon
completion of the merger transactions will be freely transferable under federal
securities laws, except that shares of New Allscripts common stock received by
persons who are deemed to be "affiliates" (as such term is defined under the
Securities Act of 1933, as amended) of Allscripts or Channelhealth prior to the
consummation of the merger transactions may be resold by them only in
transactions permitted by the resale provisions of Rule 145 promulgated under
the Securities Act (or Rule 144 in the case of such persons who become
affiliates of New Allscripts) or as otherwise permitted under the Securities
Act. Persons who may be deemed to be affiliates of Allscripts or Channelhealth
generally include individuals or entities that control, are controlled by or
are under common control with such party and may include certain officers and
directors of such party as well as principal stockholders of such party. In
addition, pursuant to the stock rights and restrictions agreement to be entered
into between New Allscripts and IDX upon completion of the merger transactions,
IDX will agree to certain restrictions on the transferability of the shares of
New Allscripts common stock received by IDX upon consummation of the merger
transactions. See "The Transaction Agreements--Stock Rights and Restrictions
Agreement."

Any shares of New Allscripts common stock issued pursuant to the earnout
clause of the merger agreement will be issued in reliance upon the exemption
from the registration requirements of the Securities Act afforded by Rule 506
of the Securities and Exchange Commission's Regulation D. However, if any
earnout shares are issued, within five business days of issuance New Allscripts
will file a non-exclusive resale "shelf" registration statement to permit the
unrestricted resale of those shares to the public on a continuous basis. New
Allscripts will use its best efforts to cause the resale shelf registration
statement to be declared effective by the Securities and Exchange Commission as
soon as practicable after filing and to cause the registration statement to
remain effective for a period of two years or such earlier time as all of the
earnout shares covered by the registration statement have been sold.

Appraisal Rights

The following summary of the provisions of Section 262 of the Delaware
General Corporation Law is not intended to be a complete statement of these
provisions and is qualified in its entirety by reference to the full text of
Section 262 of the Delaware General Corporation Law, a copy of which is
attached to this proxy statement/prospectus as Annex D and is incorporated into
this summary by reference.     

Under Delaware law, Allscripts common stockholders are not entitled to
appraisal rights in connection with the merger. However, holders of
Channelhealth common and preferred stock are entitled to appraisal rights under
Delaware law. A holder of Channelhealth common or preferred stock who elects to
exercise appraisal rights must satisfy each of the following conditions: (1)
such holder must deliver to Channelhealth, before the taking of the vote with
respect to the merger agreement, written notice of his or her intention to
demand payment of the fair value of his or her shares (this written notice must
be in addition to and separate from any proxy or vote against the merger
agreement; neither voting against adoption nor a failure to vote for the merger
agreement will constitute such a notice); and (2) such holders must not vote in
favor of adoption of the merger agreement (a failure to vote will satisfy the
requirement, but a vote in favor of adoption of the merger agreement, by proxy
or in person, will constitute a waiver of such holder's appraisal rights and
will nullify any previously filed written notice of intent to demand payment).
A stockholder who fails to comply with either of these conditions will have no
appraisal rights with respect to his or her shares.

A stockholder who elects to exercise his or her appraisal rights should mail
or deliver his or her written notice to: Channelhealth Incorporated, 25 Green
Mountain Drive, Burlington, Vermont 05403, Attention: Secretary. Such notice
must be executed by, or with the consent of, the holder of record. The notice
must identify the stockholder and indicate the intention of such stockholder to
demand payment of the fair value of his or her shares. In the notice, the
stockholder's name should be stated as it appears on his or her stock
certificate(s). If the shares are owned of record in a fiduciary capacity, such
as by a trustee, guardian or

49

custodian, the demand should be executed in that capacity, and if the shares
are owned of record by more than one person, as in a joint tenancy or tenancy
in common, the demand should be executed by or on behalf of all joint owners.
An authorized agent, including one or more joint owners, may execute a demand
for appraisal on behalf of a record holder; however, in the demand the agent
must identify the record owner or owners and expressly disclose that the agent
is executing the demand as an agent for the record owner or owners. A record
holder such as a broker who holds shares as nominee for several beneficial
owners may exercise appraisal rights for the shares held for one or more
beneficial owners and not exercise rights for the shares held for other
beneficial owners. In this case, the written demand should state the number of
shares for which appraisal rights are being demanded. When no number of shares
is stated, the demand will be presumed to cover all shares held of record by
the broker or nominee.

If the merger is completed, each holder of Channelhealth common or preferred
stock who complies with (1) and (2) above will be entitled to be paid for his,
her or its shares of Channelhealth common or preferred stock by the surviving
corporation the fair value in cash of the shares of Channelhealth common or
preferred stock. The Delaware Court of Chancery will appraise the shares,
determining the fair value arising from the consummation of the merger,
together with a fair rate of interest, if any, to be paid upon the amount
determined to be fair value. In determining such fair value, the court may take
into account all relevant factors and upon such determination will then direct
the payment of the fair value of the shares, together with any interest, to the
holders of Channelhealth common or preferred stock who have perfected their
appraisal rights. The shares of Channelhealth common or preferred stock with
respect to which holders have perfected their appraisal rights in accordance
with Section 262 and have not effectively withdrawn or lost their appraisal
rights are referred to in this proxy statement/prospectus as the "dissenting
shares."

Stockholders considering seeking appraisal for their shares should note that
the fair value of their shares determined under Section 262 could be more, the
same or less than the consideration they would receive pursuant to the merger
agreement if they did not seek appraisal of their shares. The costs of the
appraisal proceeding may be determined by the court and allocated among the
parties as the court deems equitable under the circumstances. Upon application
of a stockholder, the court may order all or a portion of the expenses incurred
by any stockholder in connection with the appraisal proceeding, including,
without limitation, reasonable attorney's fees and the fees and expenses of
experts, to be charged pro rata against the value of all shares entitled to
appraisal. In the absence of such determination or assessment, each stockholder
bears his or her own expenses.

Within ten days after the effective date of the mergers, Channelhealth, as
the surviving corporation in the merger, must mail notice to all stockholders
who have complied with (1) and (2) above notifying such stockholders of the
effective date of the Channelhealth merger. Within 120 days after the effective
date, holders of Channelhealth common or preferred stock may file a petition in
the Delaware court of Chancery for the appraisal of their shares, although they
may, within 60 days of the effective date, withdraw their demand for appraisal
and accept the merger consideration to which he or she would have otherwise
been entitled. At the hearing on such petition, the Court will determine the
stockholders who have perfected their appraisal rights. The Court may require
the holders of dissenting shares to submit their stock certificates to the
Register in Chancery for notation thereon of the pending of appraisal
proceedings; the failure of a stockholder to comply with such direction may
result in the Court dismissing the proceedings as to such stockholder. In
addition, within 120 days of the effective date, the holders of dissenting
shares may, upon written request, receive from Channelhealth as statement
setting forth the aggregate number of shares not voted in favor of adopting the
merger agreement and with respect to which demands for appraisals have been
received and the aggregate number of holders of such shares.

If any holder of Channelhealth common or preferred stock who demands
appraisal of his, her or its shares under Section 262 fails to perfect, or
effectively withdraws or loses the right to appraisal, his, her or its shares
will be converted into a right to receive a number of New Allscripts common
shares calculated in accordance with the terms of the merger agreement.
Dissenting shares lose their status as dissenting shares if:

. the merger is abandoned;

50

. the stockholder seeking appraisal rights fails to make a timely written
demand for appraisal;

. neither Channelhealth nor the stockholder files a complaint or intervenes
in a pending action within 120 days after the effective date of the
merger; or

. the stockholder delivers to Channelhealth, as the surviving corporation,
within 60 days of the effective date of the merger, or thereafter with
Channelhealth's approval, a written withdrawal of the stockholder's
demand for appraisal of the dissenting shares, although no appraisal
proceeding in the Delaware Court of Chancery may be dismissed as to any
stockholder without the approval of the court.

Failure to follow the steps required by Section 262 for perfecting appraisal
rights may result in the loss of appraisal rights, in which event a
Channelhealth stockholder will be entitled to receive the consideration with
respect to the holder's dissenting shares in accordance with the merger
agreement. In view of the complexity of the provisions of Section 262,
Channelhealth stockholders are encouraged to consult with their own advisors
regarding these appraisal rights.

51

THE MERGER AGREEMENT

This section describes the material provisions of the merger agreement, as
amended. Because the description of the merger agreement contained in this
document is a summary, it does not contain all of the information that is in
the merger agreement. A copy of the merger agreement is attached as Annex A to
this document and you are encouraged to read the full text of the merger
agreement before you decide how to vote.     

The Merger

At the effective time of the mergers, Bursar will merge with and into
Allscripts and Bursar No. 2 will merge with and into Channelhealth. Allscripts
and Channelhealth, which will be the surviving corporations in these mergers,
each will become a separate wholly-owned subsidiary of New Allscripts.

The closing date of the mergers will occur no later than the second business
day following the date on which all conditions to the mergers, other than those
conditions that by their nature are to be satisfied at the closing, have been
satisfied or waived, unless the parties agree on another time. As soon as
practicable on or after the closing date of the merger, certificates of merger
will be filed with the Secretary of State of the State of Delaware. The
effective time of the mergers will be the time the certificates of merger are
filed with the Secretary of State of the State of Delaware or at a later time
as the parties may agree and specify in the certificates of merger. The parties
currently anticipate that the merger will be completed shortly after the
Channelhealth and Allscripts special meetings, assuming their respective
stockholders adopt and approve at these meetings the merger and the issuance of
New Allscripts common shares in connection with the Channelhealth merger and
all other conditions to the mergers have been satisfied or waived. In an
amendment to the merger agreement, entered into by the parties as of November
29, 2000, the parties agreed to extend the termination date of the merger
agreement if the merger transactions have not occurred, to January 9, 2001. The
amendment to the merger is attached as Annex B to this proxy
statement/prospectus.     

Merger Consideration

Exchange Ratios

At the effective time of the mergers,

. each share of Channelhealth common stock and each share of Channelhealth
preferred stock issued and outstanding immediately before the effective
time of the merger (other than shares of Channelhealth stock held by
Channelhealth, which will be canceled and retired without the right to
receive any consideration in exchange therefor and shares held by persons
who have perfected appraisal rights) will be converted into the right to
receive 0.33730 New Allscripts common shares; and

. each issued and outstanding share of Allscripts common stock will be
converted into the right to receive one New Allscripts common share.

Fractional Shares

Certificates for fractional New Allscripts common shares will not be issued
in the Channelhealth merger. Channelhealth stockholders who would otherwise
receive fractional shares will instead be entitled to receive a cash payment
equal to the value of these fractional share interests.

Earnout

Earnout Shares. In further consideration of the Channelhealth merger, on or
before March 31, 2003, New Allscripts agreed to issue additional shares of New
Allscripts common stock to the former Channelhealth stockholders if the
following conditions are satisfied:

. If for the period from January 1, 2002 through December 31, 2002, which
we refer to as the earnout period, New Allscripts or any of its
affiliates recognizes revenues from sales generated from the
Channelhealth service lines set forth on a schedule to the merger
agreement, which we refer to as gross qualifying revenues, of greater
than or equal to $180 million but less than or equal to $210 million, New
Allscripts will issue an additional .04131 shares of its common stock for
each share of Channelhealth common or preferred stock held at the
effective time of the mergers;

52

. If during the earnout period, New Allscripts either (1) recognizes gross
qualifying revenues in excess of $210 million or (2) sells, transfers or
otherwise disposes of, or causes any of its affiliates to sell, transfer
or otherwise dispose of all or substantially all of its business or
intellectual property related to physician-focused, Internet-based
services that automate clinical, financial and administrative functions
involved in the healthcare delivery process, New Allscripts will issue an
additional 0.06278 shares of its common stock for each share of
Channelhealth common or preferred stock held at the effective time of the
mergers; and

. If during the earnout period, New Allscripts recognizes gross qualifying
revenues of less than $180 million, New Allscripts will not issue any
additional shares of its common stock.

No Channelhealth stockholder will be entitled to receive any earnout shares
otherwise issuable on account of any share of Channelhealth stock with respect
to which appraisal rights shall have been demanded and perfected and not
effectively withdrawn or forfeited prior to the effective time of the merger.

Registration of Earnout Shares. Any shares of New Allscripts common stock
issued pursuant to the earnout clause of the merger agreement will be, and the
right to receive such shares is being, issued in reliance upon the exemption
from the registration requirements of the Securities Act afforded by Rule 506
of the Securities and Exchange Commission's Regulation D. If any earnout shares
are issued, within five business days of issuance New Allscripts will file a
non-exclusive resale "shelf" registration statement to permit the unrestricted
resale of those shares to the public on a continuous basis. New Allscripts will
use its best efforts to cause the resale shelf registration statement to be
declared effective by the Securities and Exchange Commission as soon as
practicable after filing and to cause the registration statement to remain
effective until the second anniversary of the filing of the registration
statement or such earlier time as all of the earnout shares covered by the
registration statement have been sold. New Allscripts may suspend sales of
earnout shares pursuant to the registration statement during any period when
New Allscripts is involved in discussions concerning or is otherwise engaged in
any material financing, offering, investment, acquisition or divestiture
transaction if New Allscripts determines that amending the registration
statement or supplementing the related resale prospectus would be required to
permit sales to continue, but the disclosure would interfere with the
transaction or other business purpose giving rise to the need for the amendment
or supplement. However, New Allscripts agreed to use its reasonable efforts to
permit sales of earnout shares pursuant to the resale shelf registration
statement for at least 180 days during any 360-day period. Any earnout shares
issued to IDX by New Allscripts will be subject to the stock rights and
restrictions agreement to be entered into between New Allscripts and IDX upon
completion of the merger transactions. See "The Related Transaction
Agreements--Stock Rights and Restrictions Agreement."

Exchange Procedures

As soon as reasonably practicable after the effective time of the mergers,
an exchange agent will mail a letter of transmittal to each holder of record of
Channelhealth or Allscripts stock certificates. This letter of transmittal must
be used in surrendering Channelhealth or Allscripts stock certificates to the
exchange agent for cancellation. Upon surrender of a Channelhealth or
Allscripts stock certificate for cancellation, together with a duly executed
letter of transmittal and any other documents that the exchange agent may
reasonably require, the holder of the Channelhealth or Allscripts stock
certificate will be entitled to receive in exchange therefor (1) a New
Allscripts certificate representing the number of whole New Allscripts common
shares that the holder has the right to receive, (2) in the case of
Channelhealth holders, a check representing the amount of cash payable in lieu
of any fractional New Allscripts common shares, if any and (3) unpaid dividends
and distributions, if any, that the holder has the right to receive pursuant to
the merger agreement, after giving effect to any required withholding tax.
NEITHER CHANNELHEALTH NOR ALLSCRIPTS STOCKHOLDERS SHOULD SEND IN THEIR
CHANNELHEALTH OR ALLSCRIPTS STOCK CERTIFICATES UNTIL THEY RECEIVE THE LETTER OF
TRANSMITTAL.

In the event any certificates representing Channelhealth common stock or
preferred stock or any certificates representing Allscripts common stock have
been lost, stolen or destroyed, the exchange agent will

53

issue shares of New Allscripts common stock and, if applicable, cash in
exchange for such lost, stolen or destroyed certificates upon the making of an
affidavit of that fact by the owner of such certificates and delivery of a bond
in a reasonable sum as indemnity against any claim that may be against New
Allscripts or the exchange agent with respect to the certificates alleged to
have been lost, stolen or destroyed.

After the effective time of the mergers, each Channelhealth and Allscripts
stock certificate, until surrendered and exchanged, will represent only the
right to receive a certificate representing New Allscripts common shares and,
in the case of Channelhealth stock certificates, cash in lieu of fractional
shares, if any, and unpaid dividends and distributions, if any. Holders of
Channelhealth and Allscripts stock certificates will not be entitled to receive
any dividends or other distributions with respect to New Allscripts common
shares declared or made by New Allscripts having a record date after the
effective time of the mergers until the Channelhealth or Allscripts stock
certificates are surrendered. Subject to applicable law, following surrender of
the Channelhealth or Allscripts stock certificates, as the case may be, such
dividends and distributions, if any, will be paid without interest.

Accrued Liabilities Adjustment

Following completion of the mergers, New Allscripts will cause Channelhealth
to prepare a balance sheet as of the closing date, which shall be audited by
Ernst & Young LLP, IDX's regular independent public accountants. To the extent
there are accounts payable or other current and accrued liabilities, excluding
only liabilities for taxes for which IDX is otherwise indemnifying New
Allscripts pursuant to the merger agreement, reflected on the Channelhealth
closing date balance sheet, IDX will make a payment to New Allscripts equal to
that amount, which we refer to as the accrued liabilities adjustment.

Channelhealth/IDX Asset Purchase Agreement

Pursuant to the Channelhealth/IDX asset purchase agreement, Channelhealth
agreed to assign, sell, convey, transfer and deliver to IDX, on or before the
closing date for the merger transactions, the assets identified in that
agreement and also on a schedule to the merger agreement in consideration of
the return to Channelhealth of 2,771,009 shares of its common stock currently
held by IDX. The merger agreement provides that these assets, which we refer to
as the retained assets, are not included in the properties or assets of
Channelhealth to be acquired by New Allscripts through the Channelhealth
merger. Also in the merger agreement, IDX agreed to indemnify and hold harmless
New Allscripts, Allscripts, Channelhealth and their respective directors,
officers, employees, affiliates, agents, successors and assigns harmless from
and against any and all losses, liabilities, obligations, claims, damages,
costs and expenses arising out of or related to:

. the ownership or operation of the business or properties comprising the
retained assets; and

. the authorization, approval, execution, delivery and performance of the
Channelhealth/IDX asset purchase agreement.

Representations and Warranties

The merger agreement contains various representations and warranties made by
IDX, Channelhealth and New Allscripts and Allscripts. The table below
summarizes what the most important of these representations and warranties

director, officer or employee of Channelhealth;

. except for trade payables, advances for employee reimbursable expenses
and for indebtedness for borrowed money incurred in each case in the
ordinary course of business and consistent with past practice, borrowing

any other person;

. subjecting any of the properties or assets of Channelhealth to any lien,

anything that would make any of the representations and warranties of
Channelhealth in the merger agreement untrue or incorrect in any material
respect as of any time through and including the effective time of the
merger.

Allscripts. During the period from the date of the merger agreement to the
effective time of the mergers or termination of the merger agreement,
Allscripts agreed not to, and to cause New Allscripts not to:

. amend its certificate of incorporation or by-laws;

. effect any recapitalization, reclassification, stock split or like change
in the capitalization of Allscripts or New Allscripts; or

. issue any additional shares of Allscripts common stock or New Allscripts
common stock other than at fair market value, as determined by resolution
of the Allscripts board of directors, or options or warrants to acquire
such shares except (1) in the case of stock options, pursuant to the
Allscripts' existing stock option plan at fair market value at the date
of grant or (2) otherwise at fair market value, as determined by
resolution of the Allscripts board of directors.

Channelhealth Employee Matters

From and after the effective time of the mergers, Channelhealth will
continue the employment at will of the current Channelhealth employees at
initially the same or greater rate of base pay as that at which they were
employed immediately prior to the completion of the mergers. In addition,
following completion of the mergers through December 31, 2001, which we refer
to as the transition period, New Allscripts will provide those employees of
Channelhealth with benefits that, in the aggregate, are substantially
comparable to the benefits currently provided under Channelhealth's existing
employee benefit plans, at no additional cost to the employees. For eligibility
and vesting purposes with respect to Channelhealth or New Allscripts employee
benefit plans covering Channelhealth employees after completion of the mergers,
they will retain any credit for their past service under the existing
Channelhealth employee benefit plans.

Without limiting the foregoing, during the transition period, continuing
Channelhealth employees will be provided with benefits under the New Allscripts
plans that are no less favorable than the benefits provided to similarly
situated employees of Allscripts. Continuing Channelhealth employees will be
eligible to participate in the New Allscripts employee benefit plans without
any evidence of insurability and without the application of any pre-existing
physical or mental condition restrictions except to the extent applicable under
the existing Channelhealth employee benefit plans, but counting expenditures
made prior to the completion of the mergers for purposes of applying
deductible, out-of-pocket maximums and other such matters.

Treatment of Stock Options

Channelhealth Options. Each outstanding option to purchase shares of
Channelhealth common stock will be assumed by New Allscripts and converted into
an option to purchase a number of New Allscripts common shares equal to 0.33730
multiplied by the number of shares of Channelhealth common stock that could
have

58

been obtained immediately prior to the effective time of the mergers upon the
exercise of the Channelhealth option, at an exercise price per share equal to
(1) the exercise price per share of Channelhealth common stock purchasable
pursuant to the Channelhealth stock option divided by (2) 0.33730.

Assumption of Channelhealth Obligations. New Allscripts will assume the
obligations of Channelhealth under the Channelhealth stock option plan. The
other terms of the Channelhealth options and the plan under which they were
issued, shall continue to apply in accordance with their terms. Promptly after
the effective time of the mergers, and in any event within 30 days after the
effective time, New Allscripts will file with the Securities and Exchange
Commission a registration statement on Form S-8 or other appropriate form under
the Securities Act to register the New Allscripts common shares issuable upon
exercise of the Channelhealth options assumed by New Allscripts, and use its
reasonable efforts to cause the registration statement to remain effective
until the exercise or expiration of those options.     

Allscripts Employee Incentive Plans. The Allscripts Amended and Restated
1993 Stock Option Plan and each option outstanding under that plan, and each
other outstanding award (including restricted stock, stock equivalents and
stock units) under any employee incentive or benefit plans, programs or
arrangements and non-employee director plans maintained by Allscripts as of the
date of the merger agreement that provide for grants of equity-based awards
will be amended or converted into a similar plan or instrument of New
Allscripts without any adjustment as to the number of shares eligible for
purchase or issuance or as to the exercise or purchase price. The other terms
of each Allscripts option or award, and the plans or agreements under which
they were issued, will be assumed by New Allscripts and will continue to apply
in accordance with their terms.

IDX Stock Options. IDX agreed that it will remain responsible for all of its
obligations and rights with respect to any stock options held on the closing
date of the mergers under IDX's stock option plan by any employees of
Channelhealth. Upon completion of the merger transactions, all such stock
options will vest.

Reservation, Issuance and Listing of Shares. New Allscripts will (1) reserve
for issuance the number of New Allscripts common shares that will become
subject to the benefit plans, programs and arrangements referred to above, (2)
issue the appropriate number of New Allscripts common shares pursuant to these
plans, programs and arrangements, upon the exercise or maturation of rights
existing thereunder on the effective time of the merger or thereafter granted
or awarded and (3) take all actions necessary to authorize the New Allscripts
common shares for quotation on the Nasdaq National Market.

Proxy Statement/Prospectus; Registration Statement

As promptly as practical after execution of the merger agreement, Allscripts
and New Allscripts agreed to prepare and file with the Securities and Exchange
Commission a proxy statement/prospectus and to use their commercially
reasonable efforts to have the proxy materials cleared by the Securities and
Exchange Commission and the registration statement of which the proxy materials
will form a part declared effective by the Securities and Exchange Commission
as promptly as practicable after filing. Allscripts and New Allscripts agreed:

. to keep IDX and Channelhealth informed of any comments or correspondence
received from the Securities and Exchange Commission with respect to the
proxy materials and registration statement;

. to cause all documents that Allscripts is required to file with the
Securities and Exchange Commission to comply with all applicable legal
requirements; and

. to amend or supplement the registration statement and/or the proxy
statement/prospectus if and as required.

In connection with the preparation of the registration statement, each of
IDX and Allscripts agreed to obtain for inclusion in the registration statement
the opinion of their respective tax counsel concerning the federal income tax
consequences of the Channelhealth merger to the stockholders of Channelhealth
and the

59

Allscripts merger to the stockholders of Allscripts, respectively. Each of Hale
and Dorr LLP and Weil, Gotshal & Manges LLP are permitted to require and rely
on representations made by Allscripts, New Allscripts, Channelhealth, IDX and
others in rendering their respective opinions.

Listing of New Allscripts Shares and Earnout Shares

Prior to the effective time of the merger, New Allscripts agreed to take all
actions necessary to authorize the shares of New Allscripts common stock to be
issued in the mergers and the earnout shares for quotation on the Nasdaq
National Market, subject to official notice of issuance.

Rule 144

New Allscripts agreed to file all reports required to be filed by it under
the Securities Act and the Exchange Act in a timely manner and, if at any time
prior to the seventh anniversary of the effective time of the mergers, New
Allscripts is not required to file such reports, it will, on the request of the
former Channelhealth stockholders, make publicly available other information so
long as is necessary to permit sales of its securities pursuant to Rule 144
promulgated under the Securities Act, and take such further action as the
Channelhealth stockholders may reasonably request to enable the former
Channelhealth stockholders to sell shares of New Allscripts common stock
without registration under the Securities Act as provided by Rule 144.

Allscripts Tax Covenant

Prior to the effective time of the mergers, Allscripts undertook not to
agree to all or substantially all of the material terms of a transaction that
(1) would be integrated with the mergers for federal income tax purposes, which
we refer to as an integrated transaction and (2) would cause the stockholders
of Allscripts and the Channelhealth stockholders immediately before the mergers
and any "integrated transferors" not to be in control (within the meaning of
Section 368(c) of the Internal Revenue Code) of New Allscripts immediately
after the mergers. For purposes of this covenant, an "integrated transferor"
includes any person who receives shares of New Allscripts capital stock in an
integrated transaction and would be treated as a transferor of property to New
Allscripts in that transaction for purposes of Section 351 of the Internal
Revenue Code.

Repayment of Loans by IDX

On or prior to the closing date for the merger transactions, any loans or
other advances by Channelhealth to IDX or any of its affiliates (including
interest) will be repaid to Channelhealth.

Use of Names

IDX agreed that upon completion of the mergers, New Allscripts and
Channelhealth will have the sole right to use each of the following names, and
that IDX will not and will not permit any of its affiliates to use any of these
names or any variation or simulation of any of them in any business involving
the provision of healthcare information and/or point-of-care clinical
application or devices or any related business:

. CHANNELPHARMACY
. NOTEWORKS

. CHANNELHEALTH
. ORDERWORKS

. CHANNELHEALTH.COM
. PHARMACYCHANNEL

. CHARGEWORKS
. PHYSICIAN CHANNEL

. DOCWORKS
. PHYSICIAN HOMEBASE

. KNOWLEDGE FOR LIFE
. RESULTWORKS

. MEDWORKS                      . WEBWORKS

60

The foregoing restrictions will lapse if after completion of the mergers
Channelhealth changes its name, or, with respect to a particular name, the
restrictions will lapse if Channelhealth ceases to use that name in any of its
businesses for a period of 12 consecutive months.

Stock Rights and Restrictions Agreement

At or prior to the effective time, New Allscripts and Allscripts agreed to
take actions under the Delaware General Corporation Law or their respective
certificates of incorporation or by-laws as may be required to enable New
Allscripts to comply with its obligations under the stock rights and
restrictions agreement to be entered into upon completion of the mergers
between New Allscripts and IDX. See "The Related Transaction Agreements--Stock
Rights and Restrictions Agreement."

No Solicitation

IDX has agreed that IDX, Channelhealth and their respective directors,
officers, employees, representatives and agents:

. other than in connection with the transactions contemplated by the merger
agreement, will not, directly or indirectly, discuss, negotiate,
authorize, recommend, propose or enter into any transaction involving a
merger, consolidation, business combination, purchase or disposition of
any amount of the assets or capital stock of or other equity interest in
Channelhealth or the Enterprise Solutions Division or Systems Division of
IDX as currently conducted, which we refer to as a "Channelhealth
acquisition transaction";

. facilitate, encourage, solicit or initiate discussions, negotiations or
submissions of proposals or offers in respect of a Channelhealth
acquisition transaction;

. furnish to any person any information concerning Channelhealth or IDX in
connection with any Channelhealth acquisition transaction; or

. otherwise cooperate in any way, or assist or participate in, or
encourage, any effort or attempt by any person to do or seek to do any of
the foregoing.

IDX also agreed to inform Allscripts in writing following receipt by IDX or
Channelhealth of any proposal or inquiry in respect of any Channelhealth
acquisition transaction.

Cooperation

Each of the parties agreed to cooperate in taking various actions, including
actions relating to:

. obtaining at the earliest practicable date all consents and approvals
required to consummate the transactions contemplated by the merger
agreement;

. as promptly as practicable after the execution of the merger agreement,
filing any reports, notifications or other information that may be
required under the Hart-Scott-Rodino Act and furnishing to the other all
such information in its possession as may be reasonably necessary for the
completion of the reports, notifications or submissions to be filed by
the other, provided that, nothing in this Agreement will require
Allscripts, IDX or Channelhealth, whether pursuant to an order of the
Federal Trade Commission or the United States Department of Justice or
otherwise, to dispose of any assets, lines of business or equity
interests in order to obtain the consent of the Federal Trade Commission
or the Department of Justice to the transactions contemplated by the
merger agreement; and

. using our respective best efforts to (1) take all actions necessary or
appropriate to consummate the transactions contemplated by the merger
agreement and (2) cause the fulfillment at the earliest practicable date
of all of the conditions to our respective obligations to consummate the
transactions contemplated by the merger agreement.

61

Investigation. Until the effective time of the mergers or the date of
termination of the merger agreement, each of the parties has agreed to provide
access for each other and their respective representatives to their respective
properties, businesses, operations, books and records. The parties also have
agreed to treat any information obtained as a result of this process as
confidential and not to use any of it except in connection with the merger
agreement.

Further Assurances. IDX and Allscripts have each agreed to execute and
deliver such other documents or agreements and to take such other action as may
be reasonably necessary for the implementation of the merger agreement and the
consummation of the transactions contemplated thereby.

Indemnification and Insurance

Channelhealth Officers and Directors. From and after the effective time of
the mergers, New Allscripts and Allscripts agreed jointly and severally to
guarantee, and to cause Channelhealth to maintain and perform Channelhealth's
existing indemnification obligations to present and former directors and
officers of Channelhealth with respect to matters occurring through completion
of the mergers to the extent required under Channelhealth's certificate of
incorporation and by-laws in effect as of the date of the merger agreement and
as permitted under and consistent with applicable law, for a period of not less
than six years after the completion of the mergers. In addition, for six years
from the effective time of the mergers, New Allscripts agreed to maintain in
effect Channelhealth's current directors' and officers' liability insurance
covering those persons who are currently covered by Channelhealth's directors'
and officers' liability insurance policy, provided that in no event is New
Allscripts required to expend for any one year an amount in excess of 200% of
the annual premiums currently paid by Channelhealth for this insurance.
However, if the annual premiums exceed the 200% cap, New Allscripts agreed to
obtain a policy with the greatest coverage available for a cost not exceeding
the cap.

Allscripts Officers and Directors. From and after the effective time of the
mergers, New Allscripts and Channelhealth, as the surviving corporation of the
Channelhealth merger, agreed to guarantee, and to cause Allscripts, as the
surviving corporation of the Allscripts merger, to maintain and perform
Allscripts' existing indemnification obligations to present and former
directors and officers of Allscripts with respect to matters occurring through
completion of the mergers to the extent required under Allscripts' certificate
of incorporation and by-laws in effect as of the date of the merger agreement
and as permitted under and consistent with applicable law, for a period of not
less than six years after the completion of the mergers. In addition, for six
years from the effective time of the mergers, New Allscripts agreed to maintain
in effect Allscripts' current directors' and officers' liability insurance
covering those persons who are currently covered by Allscripts' directors' and
officers' liability insurance policy.

Conditions

Each party's obligations to complete the mergers are subject to the
satisfaction or waiver of various mutual conditions, the most significant of
which are as follows:

. no action, suit or proceeding is pending by or before any governmental
body wherein an unfavorable judgment, order, decree, stipulation or
injunction would reasonably be expected to (1) prevent the consummation

merger agreement to be rescinded following completion, and no such
judgment, order, decree, stipulation or injunction is in effect;

affiliates after that date;

. any and all indemnifiable losses resulting from the Channelhealth
litigation identified on a schedule to the merger agreement and any other

Allscripts and New Allscripts. Pursuant to the merger agreement, and subject
to the limitations discussed below, Allscripts and New Allscripts jointly and
severally agreed to indemnify and hold IDX and its affiliates, agents,
successors and assigns harmless from and against:

. indemnifiable losses attributable to or resulting from the conduct of the

and hold harmless the Allscripts indemnified parties from and against any and
all taxes that may be imposed upon or assessed against Channelhealth or its
assets:

. with respect to all taxable periods ending on or prior to the closing

period up to and including the closing date;

. arising by reason of any breach by Channelhealth or any inaccuracy of
Channelhealth's representations as to tax matters;

. by reason of Channelhealth's being a successor-in-interest or transferee
of another entity;

. with respect to any and all taxes of any member of a consolidated,
combined or unitary group of which Channelhealth (or any predecessor) is
or was a member prior to the closing date, by reason of the liability of

foreign law or regulation;

. by reason of the transactions contemplated by the Channelhealth/IDX asset
purchase agreement; and

. arising by reason of sales, use, stamp, documentary, filing, recording,

Limitations on Non-Tax Indemnification Liability

The merger agreement provides that except with respect to claims based on
actual fraud, the rights of the parties under the indemnification provisions
summarized above are the sole and exclusive remedies of the parties and their
respective affiliates with respect to claims resulting from or relating to any
misrepresentation, breach of warranty or failure to perform any covenant or
agreement contained in the merger agreement or otherwise relating to the merger
transactions, and the parties specifically waived any remedy of rescission.
Further, no party will be responsible for any indemnifiable losses that are
consequential, in the nature of lost profits, diminution in value, damage to
reputation or the like or special or punitive damages or otherwise not actual
losses. Indemnification recoveries are to be reduced by any related recoveries
to which the indemnified party or parties are entitled under insurance policies
and by any tax benefits actually received by the indemnified party or parties
or any of its or their respective affiliates on account of the matter resulting
in the indemnifiable losses or the payment of those losses. The merger
agreement further provides that IDX's indemnification liabilities will be
calculated net of any accruals, reserves or provisions reflected in the closing
date balance sheet of Channelhealth required to be delivered pursuant to the
merger agreement and which will form the basis of the accrued liabilities
adjustment.

65

Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in the merger agreement,
each of the following three limitations on non-tax indemnification liabilities
will apply:

. the aggregate liability of IDX for the sum of all indemnifiable losses
and related expenses, excluding the losses and related expenses described
in the first two bullet points under "Indemnification--Non-Tax
Indemnification--IDX" above, shall not exceed $50 million;

. the aggregate liability of Allscripts for the sum of all indemnifiable
losses under the second bullet point described under "Indemnification--
Non-Tax Indemnification--Allscripts and New Allscripts" above shall not
exceed $50 million, provided that the issuance of any earnout shares
shall not be counted against such amount; and

. IDX shall not be liable for any individual indemnifiable loss, excluding
any loss described in the first two bullet points under
"Indemnification--Non-Tax Indemnification--IDX" above, unless that loss
exceeds $50,000 and IDX shall not be liable for any individual
indemnifiable losses in excess of $50,000 unless and until the aggregate
amount of those losses exceeds $1 million, and in that case, IDX will be
liable only for the amount of those losses in excess of $500,000.

Channelhealth Stockholders' Representative

Pursuant to the merger agreement and in order to administer efficiently the
transactions contemplated by it, by virtue of the adoption of the merger
agreement and the approval of the Channelhealth merger by the Channelhealth
stockholders at the Channelhealth special meeting, each Channelhealth
stockholder (1) other than IDX and (2) that is not a holder of shares with
respect to which appraisal rights have been asserted will designate IDX as its
representative and in such capacity will authorize IDX to:

. make all decisions on behalf of the Channelhealth stockholders relating
to any adjustment in the cash reserves for purposes of calculating the
accrued liabilities adjustment;

. make all decisions and grant all consents and approvals on behalf of the
Channelhealth stockholders relating to the calculation of gross
qualifying revenues during the earnout period and any distribution of
earnout shares;

. take all action necessary in connection with the waiver of any condition
to the obligation of Channelhealth to consummate the transactions
contemplated by the merger agreement;

. determine the Channelhealth stockholders to whom the shares of New
Allscripts common stock will be distributed in connection with the
Channelhealth merger and the number of those shares to be distributed to
each individual stockholder;

. give and receive all notices required to be given under the merger
agreement; and

. take any and all additional actions as are contemplated to be taken by or
on behalf of the Channelhealth stockholders by the terms of the merger
agreement.

The merger agreement provides that all decisions and actions by IDX, as the
Channelhealth stockholders' representative, are binding upon all of the
Channelhealth stockholders and no Channelhealth stockholder has the right to
object, dissent, protest or otherwise contest any of those decisions or
actions.

Termination

Termination by Allscripts or IDX

The merger agreement may be terminated prior to the closing if:

. Allscripts and IDX agree to terminate by mutual written consent;

. the mergers have not been completed by January 9, 2001, provided that the
terminating party is not in default of any of its obligations under the
merger agreement; or     

. there shall be in effect a final order of a governmental body
restraining, enjoining or otherwise prohibiting the mergers.

66

Effect of Termination

If Allscripts or IDX terminates the merger agreement as provided above, the
merger agreement terminates (except for the parties' respective confidentiality
obligations under their April 26, 2000 nondisclosure and
non-use agreement), and there is no other liability on the part of Allscripts
or IDX to the other, except liability arising out of a breach of the merger
agreement or pursuant to the non-disclosure and non-use agreement.

Amendment and Waiver

The parties may amend the merger agreement in writing at any time prior to
the effective time of the mergers, but after any approval of the matters
presented to the Channelhealth stockholders or the Allscripts stockholders
relating to the mergers, the parties may not amend the provisions of the merger
agreement regarding the exchange ratios and the parties may not make any
amendment that by law requires further approval or authorization by
Channelhealth stockholders or Allscripts stockholders without their further
approval or authorization.

At any time before the effective time of the mergers, Allscripts and
Channelhealth may:

. waive any inaccuracies in the representations and warranties made by a
party in the merger agreement or in any document delivered pursuant to
the merger agreement; and

. waive compliance with any of the covenants or agreements or conditions
undertaken by a party in the merger agreement.

Any agreement or waiver will be valid only if set forth in a signed written
instrument.

Expenses

IDX and Channelhealth, on the one hand, and Allscripts, New Allscripts,
Bursar and Bursar No. 2, on the other, agreed to each bear their own expenses
incurred in connection with the negotiation and execution of the merger
agreement and related agreements and the consummation of the transactions
contemplated thereby, provided that in no event will Channelhealth, as the
surviving corporation of the Channelhealth merger, be liable for any expenses
required by the merger agreement to be borne by IDX and Channelhealth. In
addition, IDX agreed to reimburse New Allscripts for a specified percentage of
any additional expenses incurred by New Allscripts or Allscripts that would not
have been incurred had the transactions been structured so as not to
contemplate a transaction described in Section 351 of the Internal Revenue
Code.

67

THE RELATED TRANSACTION AGREEMENTS

The Voting Agreements

The following summary of the Allscripts and Channelhealth voting agreements
is qualified in its entirety by reference to the complete text of the
Allscripts and Channelhealth voting agreements, which are incorporated by
reference in this proxy statement/prospectus. We urge you to read the full text
of each of the Allscripts and Channelhealth voting agreements.

The Allscripts Voting Agreements

In connection with the execution and delivery of the merger agreement,
Channelhealth entered into a voting agreement with Morgan Stanley Venture
Partners III, L.P., Morgan Stanley Venture Investors III, L.P. and The Morgan
Stanley Venture Partners Entrepreneur Fund, L.P. and a voting agreement with
Liberty Partners Holdings 6, L.L.C. under which these stockholders agreed to
vote their shares of Allscripts capital stock in favor of the approval and
adoption of the merger agreement and approval of the merger, and each of these
stockholders also granted an irrevocable proxy to Channelhealth to vote their
shares accordingly. As of the record date for the special meeting, these
stockholders owned shares of Allscripts common stock representing approximately
29.3% of the total voting power of the outstanding Allscripts capital stock.
The Allscripts voting agreements terminate upon the first to occur of the
completion of the mergers and the termination of the merger agreement in
accordance with its terms.     

The Channelhealth Voting Agreements

In connection with the execution and delivery of the merger agreement,
Allscripts entered into a voting agreement with IDX and a voting agreement with
Pequot Private Equity Fund II, L.P. under which these stockholders agreed to
vote their shares of Channelhealth capital stock in favor of approval and
adoption of the merger agreement and approval of the mergers and each of these
stockholders also granted an irrevocable proxy to Allscripts to vote their
shares accordingly. As of the record date for the special meeting, IDX owned
Channelhealth common shares representing approximately 97.9% of the total
number of outstanding shares of Channelhealth common stock and Pequot owned
Channelhealth preferred shares representing approximately 93.5% of the total
number of outstanding shares of Channelhealth preferred stock. The
Channelhealth voting agreements prohibit these stockholders from selling,
assigning, pledging, transferring or otherwise disposing of any their
Channelhealth shares prior to the Channelhealth stockholders meeting. The
Channelhealth voting agreements terminate upon the first to occur of the
completion of the mergers and the termination of the merger agreement in
accordance with its terms.

Because IDX, which owns more than a majority of the outstanding shares of
Channelhealth common stock, and Pequot, which owns more than two-thirds of the
outstanding shares of Channelhealth preferred stock, have each agreed to vote
their shares of Channelhealth stock in favor of the merger, the Channelhealth
merger proposal is expected to be approved.

The Stock Rights and Restrictions Agreement

Upon completion of the mergers, IDX and New Allscripts will execute the
stock rights and restrictions agreement, substantially in the form of Exhibit E
to the merger agreement. This summary of the stock rights and restrictions
agreement is qualified in its entirety by reference to the form of stock rights
and restrictions agreement, which is incorporated by reference into this proxy
statement/prospectus.

New Allscripts Board of Directors

From and after the date of the stock rights and restrictions agreement until
the earlier of (1) termination of the agreement or (2) the date that IDX and
its affiliates beneficially own fewer than 25% of the New Allscripts

68

common shares issued to IDX upon completion of the Channelhealth merger, IDX
will be entitled to designate an individual to the New Allscripts board of
directors. The initial IDX designee to the New Allscripts board will be Richard
E. Tarrant, the Chief Executive Officer of IDX and the Chairman of the Board,
Chief Executive Officer and President of Channelhealth. In addition, so long as
(1) the IDX designee is Mr. Tarrant and (2) IDX and its affiliates beneficially
own greater than 75% of the New Allscripts common shares issued to IDX upon
completion of the Channelhealth merger, Mr. Tarrant will be the sole non-
executive Vice Chairman of the New Allscripts board.

IDX will commit to make Mr. Tarrant reasonably available for initial "road
show" efforts undertaken by Allscripts in connection with the merger agreement
and for subsequent meetings with customers of the Channelhealth business, which
will occur at least once a month.

Limitation on Business Combination Transactions

During the term of the stock rights and restrictions agreement, each of IDX
and New Allscripts agrees not to engage in or propose any transaction referred
to in the agreement as a "business combination," which means a merger,
consolidation, "business combination" as defined in Section 203 of the Delaware
General Corporation Law as currently in effect, compulsory share exchange or
other transaction involving the other and pursuant to which the other party's
voting securities are exchanged for cash, securities or other property, or any
sale of all or substantially all of the assets or liquidation of the other
party, including by means of a tender or exchange offer, or request or solicit
any other person to engage in or propose a business combination, unless the
transaction is approved by a majority of the other party's continuing directors
or the party engaging in or proposing the transaction beneficially owns less
than 5% of the other party's voting securities and has no representative on the
other party's board of directors. IDX and New Allscripts also agreed that for
the term of the stock rights and restrictions agreement, the operative
provisions, as presently in effect, of Section 203 of the Delaware General
Corporation Law will apply to any business combination between the parties
notwithstanding that those provisions might otherwise apply for a shorter
period of time.

"Continuing director" of a party as used in the stock rights and
restrictions agreement means any member of that party's board who was a member
of the board at the date the agreement is signed or who is recommended or
elected to the board by a majority of the continuing directors to fill a
vacancy arising as a result of an increase in the number of directors after
that date, and any successor of a continuing director, who was recommended or
elected to succeed a continuing director by a majority of the continuing
directors.

Limitation on Acquisition of Additional Voting Securities

Without the consent of a majority of the other party's continuing directors,
neither party may acquire any additional voting securities of the other.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the event IDX sells any of its shares of New
Allscripts common stock, it may acquire additional shares without having to
obtain New Allscripts' consent up to an aggregate amount that would cause IDX
to hold the same number of shares of New Allscripts common stock that it held
at the date the agreement is signed, provided that IDX cannot acquire
additional shares until six months have lapsed from the date of any sale of
shares by IDX and if IDX acquires additional shares pursuant to this clause of
the agreement, it cannot sell any New Allscripts shares until 30 days have
lapsed from the date of acquisition.

Restrictions on Transfer by IDX

During the term of the stock rights and restrictions agreement, without the
prior written consent of a majority of the New Allscripts continuing directors,
IDX agrees not to transfer beneficial ownership of any of its New Allscripts
voting securities except as follows:

. to affiliates of IDX that agree to be bound by the same restrictions
applicable to IDX under the stock rights and restrictions agreement;

. to New Allscripts or a subsidiary of New Allscripts;

69

. pursuant to a merger, consolidation or compulsory share exchange to which
New Allscripts is a party;

. as a pro rata dividend or distribution to holders of IDX common stock;
provided that if such a dividend or distribution is made to a non-public
stockholder of IDX, such holder must agree to the restrictions provided
under the stock rights and restriction agreement;

. pursuant to a tender or exchange offer commenced by any person other than
IDX or any of its affiliates, if at the time of public announcement of
the tender or exchange offer (1) IDX and its affiliates beneficially own
collectively fewer than 5% of the then outstanding voting securities of
New Allscripts and no representative of IDX in serving on the New
Allscripts board or (2) IDX and its affiliates beneficially own
collectively greater than 5% of the then outstanding voting securities of
New Allscripts and a majority of the New Allscripts continuing directors
recommends acceptance of the offer to New Allscripts stockholders;

. from and after the first anniversary of the date of the stock rights and
restrictions agreement, pursuant to a private placement, or pursuant to
Rule 144 as described below, provided that in any year, IDX cannot
transfer more than 25% of the number of New Allscripts common shares held
by IDX at the date of the agreement, plus any additional New Allscripts
voting securities that IDX or its affiliates may from time to time own
after that date, and during any particular year IDX cannot transfer more
than 16.6667% of those shares in any month in that year and provided
further than IDX is not permitted to cumulate, or carry forward for
transfer in subsequent periods either (1) unsold maximum monthly eligible
transfer amounts from month to month during any particular year or (2)
unsold maximum annual eligible transfer amounts from year to year; and

. pursuant to Rule 144 under the Securities Act, subject to the volume
limitations set forth in the bullet point above, provided that no
transfers are permitted pursuant to Rule 144 except through a market
maker in New Allscripts common stock approved in advance by New
Allscripts, or as otherwise previously approved by New Allscripts.

Additionally, during each of the periods from and after the first
anniversary of the date of the stock rights and restrictions agreement through
the second anniversary of that date and from and after the third anniversary
through the fourth anniversary of that date, IDX has the right to notify New
Allscripts that IDX wants to transfer in a single transaction either 50% or
100% of the maximum number of New Allscripts shares that it would be permitted
to transfer in that period, and the price at which IDX would be willing to
transfer those shares. Upon receipt of that notice, New Allscripts will have a
period of 10 days within which to arrange for the purchase of the offered
shares by a purchaser selected by New Allscripts in its sole discretion for
cash at a price per share equal to the average of the last sale price for New
Allscripts common stock for the five trading days immediately preceding the
date that New Allscripts notifies IDX that New Allscripts has arranged for the
purchase of the IDX shares, provided that IDX has no obligation to transfer any
of the shares to the proposed purchaser if the purchase price does not equal at
least 90% of the price named by IDX in its notice to New Allscripts of IDX's
desire to transfer shares. If New Allscripts does not arrange for a purchase of
the IDX shares covered by a notice delivered by IDX under this clause of the
agreement, IDX is free to transfer those shares, but subject to and in
accordance with the time, volume and other restrictions set forth above.

After the fifth anniversary of the date of the stock rights and restrictions
agreement, if IDX wants to transfer a number of New Allscripts common shares in
excess of 2.5% of the then issued and outstanding shares of New Allscripts
common stock, IDX must first notify New Allscripts and set forth in the notice
the number of shares or a minimum and maximum number of shares that IDX wants
to transfer, and the price at which IDX would be willing to transfer those
shares. New Allscripts will have a period of 10 days within which to arrange
for purchase of the offered shares by a purchaser selected by New Allscripts in
its sole discretion for cash at a price equal to the average of the last sales
price for New Allscripts common stock for the five trading days immediately
preceding the date that New Allscripts notifies IDX that New Allscripts has
arranged for the purchase of the IDX shares, provided that IDX has no
obligation to transfer any of the shares to the proposed purchaser if the
purchase price does not equal at least 90% of the price named by IDX in its
notice to New Allscripts of IDX's desire to transfer shares.

70

The stock rights and restrictions agreement also provides that if during the
period from the third anniversary through the fourth anniversary of the
agreement, New Allscripts proposes to file a registration statement under the
Securities Act with respect to a primary firm commitment underwritten public
offering of New Allscripts common stock, IDX will have the right to "piggyback"
on the offering by notifying New Allscripts that IDX wants to include some or
all of its New Allscripts shares in the registration, subject to customary
"cutback" provisions. New Allscripts will pay all of the expenses of the
piggyback registration, except underwriting discounts and commissions on shares
sold by IDX, fees of IDX's counsel and any transfer taxes applicable to the
sale of the IDX shares. Additionally, New Allscripts agreed to enter into
customary underwriting arrangements and to indemnify IDX against Securities Act
liabilities arising from the offering to the extent customarily undertaken by
issuers in connection with piggyback registrations.

In addition, Richard E. Tarrant, Chief Executive Officer of each of IDX and
Channelhealth, and who will be appointed to the New Allscripts board as its
sole non-executive Vice Chairman upon completion of the mergers, signed the
stock rights and restrictions in his individual capacity for the purpose of
agreeing that for the six-month period following completion of the merger, he
will not transfer any of the New Allscripts common shares he receives in the
Channelhealth merger unless prior to the expiration of that period Glen E.
Tullman, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer of New Allscripts, transfers for
his own account any New Allscripts common shares.

"Transfer" as used in the stock rights and restrictions agreement means any
sale, transfer, writing of options or other conveyance of beneficial ownership
in the securities to which the term relates.

Voting of New Allscripts Shares Held by IDX

Generally the stock rights and restrictions agreement permits IDX to vote in
its complete discretion on all matters voted on by New Allscripts stockholders.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, unless both of the conditions described below
are met, IDX must vote all of its New Allscripts shares in accordance with the
recommendation of the New Allscripts continuing directors on any matter that:

. constitutes a business combination;

. involves the acquisition by any person other than IDX or its affiliates
of beneficial ownership of greater than 50% of the then outstanding New
Allscripts voting securities;

. involves the issuance by New Allscripts of its own securities for cash;
or

. involves any acquisition by New Allscripts, whether through merger, share
exchange, purchase of assets or otherwise;

provided that, if both of the following conditions are met, IDX may vote its
New Allscripts shares on the matters listed above in IDX's complete discretion:

. the average of the last sale price of New Allscripts common stock for the
90 trading days immediately preceding the date in which the matter is
voted upon is less than $14.5625 per share, which equals 50% of the last
sale price of New Allscripts common stock on July 12, 2000, the last
trading day before announcement of the transaction; and

. there exists no continuing and uncured default by IDX under the merger
agreement, the stock rights and restrictions agreement, the strategic
alliance agreement or the cross-licensing agreement that shall have
resulted in a material adverse effect on the business, properties,
results of operation, prospects, conditions (financial or otherwise) or
per share market value of New Allscripts common stock.

IDX's Right to Participate in Securities Issuances by New Allscripts

If at any time during the term of the stock rights and restrictions
agreement New Allscripts plans to issue New Allscripts voting securities, or
securities exercisable, exchangeable for or convertible into New Allscripts
voting securities and as a result, IDX's beneficial ownership of all
outstanding New Allscripts voting securities

71

would be reduced to below 2% after giving effect to the proposed transaction,
then New Allscripts must offer to sell to IDX a number or amount of the
securities proposed to be issued that, if purchased by IDX, would permit IDX
and its affiliates to beneficially own a number of New Allscripts voting
securities determined by dividing the aggregate number of outstanding New
Allscripts common shares then beneficially owned by IDX by the total number of
New Allscripts common shares then outstanding.

Termination

The stock rights and restrictions agreement will terminate by its terms on
its tenth anniversary, but it may be terminated earlier as follows:

. by mutual written consent of IDX and New Allscripts; or

. by IDX if New Allscripts files for bankruptcy, or another person
commences a bankruptcy proceeding against New Allscripts and the
proceeding is not dismissed or stayed within 60 days, or if an order for
relief under a bankruptcy law is entered against New Allscripts.

The Strategic Alliance Agreement

Upon completion of the mergers, IDX and New Allscripts will execute the
strategic alliance agreement, substantially in the form of Exhibit D to the
merger agreement. This summary of the strategic alliance agreement is qualified
in its entirety by reference to the form of strategic alliance agreement, which
is incorporated by reference into this proxy statement/prospectus.

Marketing of Channelhealth Products

The strategic alliance agreement provides for a ten-year strategic alliance
under which the parties will cooperate to develop and market Channelhealth
products pursuant to a development plan to be updated at least quarterly during
the term of the alliance. Each of New Allscripts and IDX will be required to
develop connectivity between their respective products to facilitate data
exchange and ease of use. Each party will develop and maintain interfaces with
respect to identified products of the other party and will reasonably maintain
compatibility of their respective products with any updates to the other
party's products. Under the alliance, the parties will mutually develop and
regularly update a plan for marketing New Allscripts products to IDX customers
and prospects. The marketing plan will describe detailed activities,
responsibilities and sales forecasts over two-year periods during the term of
the alliance. The parties will cooperate to publicize the alliance, will
jointly develop and produce product marketing materials and will feature each
other at trade shows and user group meetings. The parties will be required to
compensate and incent their sales forces to sell New Allscripts' products to
IDX customers and prospects.

Marketing Restrictions on New Allscripts

During the term of the alliance, New Allscripts will be prohibited from
developing, or cooperating with specified direct competitors of IDX to develop
or provide, practice management products other than those currently marketed by
Allscripts. New Allscripts will also be prohibited from marketing, selling,
licensing, cooperatively marketing or otherwise distributing any products
competitive with the "virtual office" component of IDX's "Patient Channel"
product. Notwithstanding the foregoing, New Allscripts may cooperatively market
its products to non-IDX customers with any vendor of practice management
products that is not one of the specified direct competitors of IDX. New
Allscripts may also cooperate with any vendor of practice management products
on a case-by-case basis in the deployment of such vendor's practice management
products, provided that any interface and data exchange development services
performed by New Allscripts in that connection are provided at a charge that is
consistent with the ordinary and customary practice of New Allscripts. New
Allscripts may market its products directly to IDX customers.

72

Marketing Restrictions on IDX

During the term of the alliance, IDX will be prohibited from cooperating
with direct competitors of New Allscripts to develop or provide any products
similar to or in competition with New Allscripts' products other than such
products currently marketed by IDX. Notwithstanding the foregoing, IDX may
provide products and services similar to New Allscripts' products as an
offering integrated with IDX's "LastWord," "IDXrad," "Imaging Suite" and other
non-practice management products and may cooperate with others who provide
products similar to New Allscripts' products on a case-by-case basis in the
deployment of such products, provided that any interface and data exchange
development services performed by IDX in that connection are provided at a
charge that is consistent with the ordinary and customary practices of IDX. In
connection with its "EDiX" product, IDX is restricted from providing hand-held
devices (except for dictation), but this restriction terminates if IDX ceases
to control EDiX Corporation. Except with respect to its "LastWord" product, IDX
may establish direct connections only for pharmaceutical benefit managers, drug
manufacturers and drug distributors involving a direct message to a patient via
IDX's "Patient Channel" product. IDX may market and re-sell the "Clinical
Management Suite" product, although New Allscripts is entitled to a share of
the revenues generated from sales of this product.

Termination of Marketing Restrictions

Either party may terminate the marketing restrictions to which it is subject
upon the occurrence of a material adverse change in the business, properties,
results of operations or condition (financial or otherwise) of the other party
(other than changes that are the result of economic factors affecting the
economy as a whole or changes that are the result of factors generally
affecting the specific industry or markets in which the party competes). The
determination of whether a change is a material adverse change giving rise to a
termination right is subject to arbitration.

Compensation

New Allscripts and IDX will be entitled to agreed upon revenue sharing for
sales of each other's products. Under the strategic alliance agreement, IDX
will guarantee gross revenues to New Allscripts of $6,667 per day from sales of
Allscripts products from the date of completion of the mergers until December
31, 2000. IDX will guarantee gross revenues from those sales of $4.5 million in
2001.

New Allscripts Change of Control

If during the term of the alliance, a change of control occurs with respect
to New Allscripts whereby a direct competitor of IDX will control New
Allscripts, IDX will, for the remainder of the term of the alliance, receive a
revenue share on sales of all New Allscripts products (other than
pharmaceutical products) equal to the percentage of revenue share to which IDX
was entitled on such products at the time of the change of control and, at the
end of the term of the alliance, IDX will receive the source code for all
Allscripts products.

IDX Change of Control

If during the term of the alliance, a change of control occurs with respect
to IDX whereby a direct competitor of New Allscripts will control IDX, New
Allscripts will, for the remainder of the term of the alliance, receive a
revenue share on sales of all IDX "Patient Channel" products equal to the
percentage of revenue share to which New Allscripts was entitled at the time of
the change of control and, at the end of the term of the alliance, New
Allscripts will receive the source code for all IDX "Patient Channel" products.

Termination of Alliance

Either of New Allscripts or IDX may terminate the alliance in the event such
party becomes insolvent or if the other party has defaulted under or breached
any material term of the strategic alliance agreement and has not cured such
default or breach within 120 days after it occurs.

73

The Amended and Restated Cross License and Software Maintenance Agreement

Upon completion of the mergers, IDX and Channelhealth will execute the
amended and restated cross license and software maintenance agreement,
substantially in the form of Exhibit F to the merger agreement. This summary of
the amended and restated cross license and software maintenance agreement is
qualified in its entirety by reference to the form of amended and restated
cross license and software maintenance agreement, which is incorporated by
reference into this proxy statement/prospectus.

Cross License

The amended and restated cross license and software maintenance agreement
provides for, in the case of IDX, the granting of a perpetual, non-exclusive,
non-cancelable and non-terminable, fully paid-up license to Channelhealth
permitting Channelhealth to copy, use, display, perform, adopt, modify and
maintain certain IDX software applications and related intellectual property
rights, and create derivative works with regard to the software, for the
purpose of merging IDX software with New Allscripts' products and to market and
sublicense IDX software in connection with the marketing of those products and,
in the case of Channelhealth, the granting of a perpetual, non-exclusive, non-
cancelable and non-terminable, fully paid-up license to IDX permitting IDX to
copy, use, display, perform, market, sublicense, transmit, create and own
derivative works and to distribute certain Channelhealth software applications
and related intellectual property rights in connection with IDX's "Patient
Channel" business.

Support

Under the amended and restated cross license and software maintenance
agreement, each of IDX and Channelhealth will agree to provide the other with
software maintenance and updates during the term of the strategic alliance
between IDX and New Allscripts. IDX and Channelhealth will also provide
customer specific implementation services and consulting services at the same
service level and compensation rates as provided to their own customers.

Termination

The amended and restated cross license and software maintenance agreement is
subject in part to the terms of the strategic alliance entered into between New
Allscripts and IDX. In the event that the strategic alliance agreement is
terminated or not renewed, the license granted by IDX to Channelhealth will
terminate with respect to certain IDX technologies developed by IDX and
incorporated by IDX into IDX software, except as used by Channelhealth to
create or maintain compatibility or connectivity between New Allscripts
products and IDX products.

BUSINESS OF CHANNELHEALTH

Channelhealth sells physician-focused, Internet-based software applications
and services that automate many of the clinical and administrative functions
involved in the healthcare delivery process. Channelhealth's solution is
designed to help healthcare providers lower healthcare costs and improve
decision making by managing information flows in an efficient and timely
manner. Channelhealth's suite of applications, which are known collectively as
the "Physician Channel," consists of:

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Physician     Access to practice management and clinical functions (schedules, tasks,
Homebase      patient lists, e-mail),

Channelhealth delivers its Physician Channel services through an application
services provider model and integrates them with a provider organization's
existing practice management system and databases. Channelhealth has designed
its services to be implemented on a modular basis. Thus, the Physician Channel
services can be implemented incrementally with minimal disruption and up-front
investment.

Channelhealth has entered into strategic agreements with various providers
of on-line medical resources to better service the healthcare providers using
the Physician Channel. These agreements provide users of the Physician Channel
with access to continuing medical information courses, clinical reference and
health awareness information, as well as access to prescription benefit
management rules and eligibility, pertinent patient medication history and
network pharmacy listings. Channelhealth has also entered into an
administrative services agreement, a marketing, development and service
agreement and a cross license and software maintenance agreement with IDX. Upon
the closing of the mergers, the marketing, development and service agreement
and the cross license and software maintenance agreement will terminate and be
replaced with the strategic alliance agreement and the amended and restated
cross license and software maintenance agreement. The administrative services
agreement will terminate as of December 31, 2000. See "The Related Transaction
Agreements" on page 69.

Channelhealth's target customers are large healthcare provider
organizations, primarily consisting of large physician group practices,
hospitals and integrated delivery networks. Channelhealth competes for
customers with other providers of Internet-based healthcare solutions and
clinical systems for the key service offerings of connectivity, content,
applications and the browser-based desktop and personal digital assistant user
interface. While it enjoys the advantage of access to a large installed base of
provider organizations in the United States and strong relationships with
executive management at prestigious healthcare organizations nationwide,
Channelhealth expects competitors to aggressively target that customer base.
Channelhealth distributes its services to clients under license agreements that
typically grant customers nonexclusive, nontransferable licenses to use the
software and services. To provide complete services for its clients,
Channelhealth provides technical service and support to its customers 24 hours
a day and seven days a week.

75

As of November 27, 2000, Channelhealth employed a total of 88 full time
employees for its "Physician Channel" business at its corporate headquarters in
Burlington, Vermont and regional office in Boston, Massachusetts. None of its
employees is represented by a labor union.     

Channelhealth's principal executive and corporate offices, development, and
customer support operations are located in Burlington, Vermont and Boston,
Massachusetts. Channelhealth leases both facilities from IDX.

CHANNELHEALTH MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND
ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

General

The Physician Channel business of Channelhealth reported a net loss of
$7,570,000 for the nine months ended September 30, 2000. Excluding a
compensation charge related to the issuance of stock options of $269,000, the
net loss amounted to $7,301,000, as compared to a net loss of $4,480,000 for
the same period of 1999.     

The Physician Channel business reported a net loss of $9,649,000, $3,616,000
and $2,771,000 for the years ended December 31, 1999, 1998 and 1997,
respectively. For comparison purposes the net loss for 1999 after excluding a
compensation charge of $4,561,000 related to the issuance of vested stock
options to employees of the parent company of Channelhealth in the fourth
quarter of 1999 amounted to $5,088,000.

Results of Operations

Nine Months Ended September 30, 2000 Compared to Nine Months Ended September
30, 1999     

Revenue. The Physician Channel business' total revenue increased to
$1,549,000 for the nine months ended September 30, 2000 from $1,220,000 for the
same period in 1999, an increase of $329,000, or 27.0%. Revenue from system
sales decreased from $614,000 for the nine months ended September 30, 1999 to
$91,000 for the nine months ended September 30, 2000, a decrease of $523,000,
or 85.2%. The decrease in sales was due to certain of the Physician Channel
business' customers delaying purchasing decisions with respect to certain
Physician Channel business software systems. Management believes such delays
are due to a number of factors, including the announced migration of the
Physician Channel business' software systems to Internet-based applications and
services, customer organizational changes, government applied pressures on
customers to reduce expenses, product complexity, and customer preoccupation
with internal Year 2000 issues. Maintenance and service revenue increased to
$1,458,000 during the nine months ended September 30, 2000 (94.1% of total
revenue) compared to $606,000 (49.7% of total revenue) in the corresponding
period in 1999, an increase of $852,000, or 140.6%. The increase was primarily
due to an increase in maintenance and service revenue from new customers
obtained in 1999 and the decision by customers to continue to support
historical software systems rather than purchase new ones for the reasons noted
above.     

Cost of Revenues. The cost of revenues decreased to $1,543,000 for the nine
months ended September 30, 2000 from $1,834,000 for the same period in 1999, a
decrease of $291,000 or 15.9%. The cost of revenues decreased between the
periods primarily due to a reduction in amortization expense of capitalized
software for the period ended September 30, 2000. The gross profit margin
increased from -50.3% for the nine months ended September 30, 1999 to 0.4% for
the same period in 2000. The improvement in gross profit margin was due to a
reduction in amortization expense combined with guaranteed minimum payments
related to Channelhealth business partnership agreements as well as more
efficient utilization of installation and support services personnel in
performing revenue generating customer maintenance and support. The overall
negative gross margins during both periods are primarily due to the high fixed
costs relative to sales volume resulting from the early stage nature of the
Physician Channel business' development, particularly with its Internet-based
applications and services.     

Selling, General and Administrative Expenses. Selling, general and
administrative expenses increased to $1,586,000 for the nine months ended
September 30, 2000 from $1,205,000 for the same period in 1999, an increase of
$381,000 or 31.6%. As a percentage of total revenue, selling, general and
administrative expenses increased to 102.4% for the nine months ended September
30, 2000 from 98.8% for the same period in 1999. The increase in selling,
general and administrative expenses is due to incremental expenses, primarily
additional personnel and marketing expenses, incurred to sell, market and
administer the Physician Channel business' new business initiatives in the
Internet-based software applications and services markets. The overall high
percentage of selling, general and administrative expenses to revenue during
both periods is primarily due to the high fixed costs relative to sales volume
resulting from the early stage nature of the Physician Channel business'
development, particularly with its Internet-based applications and services.

78

Research and Development. Research and development expenses increased to
$3,623,000 for the nine months ended September 30, 2000 from $1,923,000 for the
same period in 1999, an increase of $1,700,000, or 88.4%. As a percentage of
total revenues, research and development expenses increased to 233.9% for the
nine months ended September 30, 2000 from 157.6% for the same period in 1999.
The increase in research and development expenses was primarily due to
additional personnel and efforts utilized to develop the Physician Channel
business' new Internet-based applications and services. The overall high
percentage of research and development expenses to revenue during both periods
is primarily due to the high fixed costs relative to sales volume resulting
from the early stage nature of the Physician Channel business' development,
particularly with its Internet-based software applications and services.     

Compensation Charge Related to Issuance of Stock Options. In the first
quarter of 2000, Channelhealth issued immediately vested options to certain
employees of the parent company. Accordingly, the Physician Channel business
has recognized compensation expense of approximately $269,000 related to the
issuance of the vested stock options, based on the fair market value of the
options on the date of issuance.

Settlement of Litigation. In connection with the settlement of litigation
arising from a contractual dispute with respect to an exclusivity provision
from a supply contract, Channelhealth has incurred settlement and legal costs
as of September 30, 2000 of $937,000. Accordingly, the costs have been
recognized in the statement of operations for the nine month period ended
September 30, 2000.     

Interest Expense. Interest expense has increased to $1,161,000 for the nine
months ended September 30, 2000 from $738,000 for the same period in 1999, an
increase of $423,000 or 57.3%. The increase in interest expense is a result of
the increase of IDX's investment in the Physician Channel business.     

Year Ended December 31, 1999 Compared to Year Ended December 31, 1998

Revenue. The Physician Channel business' total revenue increased to
$2,369,000 for the year ended December 31, 1999 from $1,113,000 for the year
ended December 31, 1998, an increase of $1,256,000, or 112.8%. Revenue from
system sales increased from $671,000 for the year ended December 31, 1998 to
$1,050,000 in system sales revenue for the year ended December 31, 1999, an
increase of $379,000, or 56.4%. The increase in sales was primarily due to the
sale of clinical software systems to several new customers in 1999. Maintenance
and service revenue increased to $1,319,000 during the year ended December 31,
1999 (55.7% of total revenue) compared to $441,000 (39.6% of total revenue) in
1998, an increase of $878,000, or 199.1%. The increase was primarily due to an
increase in maintenance and service revenue from new contracts obtained in 1998
and 1999, and 1999 service revenues related to supporting Year 2000 issues.

Cost of Revenues. The cost of revenues decreased slightly to $2,461,000 for
the year ended December 31, 1999 from $2,579,000 in 1998, a decrease of
$118,000, or 4.6%. The cost of revenues decreased due to the consistent level
of personnel utilized in client services to support incremental system sales
revenue and maintenance and service revenue. The gross profit margin increased
from -131.7% for the year ended December 31, 1998 to -3.9% for the same period
in 1999. The improvement in gross profit margin was primarily due to an
increase in revenue, including the $379,000 increase in system sales with
higher gross margins than maintenance and service revenue, combined with the
more efficient utilization of installation and support personnel in 1999. The
negative gross margins during both years are primarily due to the high fixed
costs relative to sales volume resulting from the early stage nature of the
Physician Channel business' development.

Selling, General and Administrative Expenses. Selling, general and
administrative expenses increased to $1,551,000 for the year ended December 31,
1999 from $804,000 in 1998, an increase of $747,000, or 92.9%. As a percentage
of total revenue, selling, general and administrative expenses decreased to
65.5% in 1999 from 72.2% in 1998. The increase in selling, general and
administrative expenses is due to incremental expenses, primarily additional
personnel and marketing expenses, incurred to sell and market the Physician
Channel

79

business' software systems and support services. As a percentage of revenue,
the expenses decreased due to the increase in revenue combined with a relative
high fixed cost component of the expenses. The overall high percentage of
selling, general and administrative expenses to revenue during both years is
primarily due to the high fixed costs relative to sales volume resulting from
the early stage nature of the Physician Channel business' development.

Research and Development. Research and development expenses increased to
$2,407,000 for the year ended December 31, 1999 from $710,000 in 1998, an
increase of $1,697,000, or 239%. As a percentage of total revenues, research
and development expenses increased to 101.6% for the year ended December 31,
1999 from 63.8% for the same period in 1998. The increase in research and
development expenses in dollars and as a percentage of revenue was primarily
due to significant additional personnel and activities initiated in 1999 to
begin development of the Physician Channel business' new Internet-based
software applications and services. The overall high percentage of research and
development expenses to revenue during both years is primarily due to the high
fixed costs relative to sales volume resulting from the early stage nature of
the Physician Channel business' development.

Compensation Charge Related to Issuance of Stock Options. In the fourth
quarter of 1999, Channelhealth issued immediately vested options to certain
employees of the parent company. Accordingly, the Physician Channel business
has recognized compensation expense of approximately $4,561,000 related to the
issuance of the vested stock options based on the fair market of the options on
the date of issuance.

Interest Expense. Interest expense has increased to $1,038,000 for the year
ended December 31, 1999 from $636,000 for the same period in 1998, an increase
of $402,000 or 63.2%. The increase in interest expense is a result of the
increase of IDX's investment in the Physician Channel business.

Year Ended December 31, 1998 Compared to Year Ended December 31, 1997

Revenue. The Physician Channel business' total revenue decreased to
$1,113,000 for the year ended December 31, 1998 from $1,473,000 in 1997, a
decrease of $360,000, or 24.4%. Revenue from system sales decreased from
$933,000 for the year ended December 31, 1997 to $671,000 in system sales
revenue in 1998, a decrease of $262,000, or 28.1%. The disappointing decrease
in sales was due to fewer than anticipated software system sales in 1998.
Maintenance and service revenue also decreased to $441,000 during the year
ended December 31, 1998 (39.6% of total revenue) compared to $540,000 (36.7% of
total revenue) in 1997, a decrease of $99,000, or 18.3%. The decrease was
primarily due to a decrease in maintenance and service revenue resulting from
the decrease in system sales and fewer contracts for support services in 1998.

Cost of Revenues. The cost of revenues increased to $2,579,000 for the year
ended December 31, 1998 from $1,931,000 in 1997, an increase of $648,000, or
33.6%. The cost of revenues increased between the periods due to the addition
of installation and support personnel in anticipation of increased sales in
1998 and an increase in amortization expense of capitalized software. The gross
profit margin decreased from -31.1% for the year ended December 31, 1997 to -
131.7% in 1998. The decrease in gross profit margin was primarily due to
significantly lower revenue combined with the incremental expenses of
additional personnel and amortization of capitalized software. The overall
negative gross margins during both years are primarily due to the high fixed
costs relative to sales volume resulting from the early stage nature of the
Physician Channel business' development.

Selling, General and Administrative Expenses. Selling, general and
administrative expenses decreased to $804,000 for the year ended December 31,
1998 from $984,000 in 1997, a decrease of $180,000, or 18.3%. As a percentage
of total revenue, selling, general and administrative expenses increased to
72.2% for the year ended December 31, 1998 from 66.8% in 1997. The decrease in
selling, general and administrative expenses is due primarily to lower sales
commission expenses resulting from the significant decrease in revenue from
1997 to 1998. The overall high percentage of selling, general and
administrative expenses to revenue during both years is primarily due to the
high fixed costs relative to sales volume resulting from the early stage nature
of the Physician Channel business' development.

80

Research and Development. Research and development expenses decreased to
$710,000 for the year ended December 31, 1998 from $947,000 in 1997, a decrease
of $237,000, or 25.0%. As a percentage of total revenues, research and
development expenses decreased to 63.8% for the year ended December 31, 1998
from 64.3% in 1997. Research and development expenses decreased between 1997
and 1998 due to a decrease in new development activities and the corresponding
reduction in personnel. The overall high percentage of research and development
expenses to revenue during both years is primarily due to the high fixed costs
relative to sales volume resulting from the early stage nature of the Physician
Channel business' development.

Interest Expense. Interest expense has increased to $636,000 for the year
ended December 31, 1998 from $382,000 for the same period in 1997, an increase
of $254,000 or 66.5%. The increase in interest expense is a result of the
increase of IDX's investment in the Physician Channel business.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

The Physician Channel business has funded its operations, working capital
needs and capital expenditures primarily through net proceeds from its parent
company, IDX Systems Corporation, of which approximately $32 million is
attributable to venture capital financing secured by Channelhealth. Cash flows
related to operating activities are comprised principally of net loss and
depreciation and are also affected by the changes in accounts receivable and
deferred revenue. Due to the nature of the Physician Channel business, accounts
receivable and deferred revenue fluctuate considerably. This is due to, among
other things, the length of the sales cycle and installation efforts that are
dependent upon the size of the transaction, the changing business plans of the
customer, the effectiveness of the customers' management and general economic
conditions.

Cash flows related to investing activities have principally been related to
the purchase of computers and office equipment. Computer and equipment
purchases have been financed through net proceeds from the parent company.

Cash flows from financing activities have principally been related to net
proceeds from the parent company, of which approximately $32 million is
attributable to venture capital financing secured by Channelhealth. In the
first quarter of 2000, Channelhealth issued preferred stock to Pequot Private
Equity Fund II, L.P. for approximately $30 million, representing an equity
interest in Channelhealth of approximately 9%. In the same round of financing,
Channelhealth also raised approximately $2 million additional from various
other minority stockholders, representing an equity interest in Channelhealth
of less than 1%. The proceeds from the issuance of this preferred stock
combined with other funds from the parent has been the source of the net
proceeds provided to the Physician Channel business of Channelhealth.
Channelhealth is currently leasing its facilities in South Burlington, Vermont
from its parent company.

Management believes that current operating funds and capital available from
its current parent company would be sufficient to meet its operating
requirements at least through the next twelve months. Upon completion of the
proposed transaction, capital will not be available to Channelhealth from its
current parent company.

On September 29, 2000, Channelhealth entered into a 3-year lease with a
leasing company for computer equipment. This lease will allow Channelhealth to
establish its data center and continue its planned expansion as an ASP
provider. Total lease payments for this equipment will be approximately
$806,000.

In October 2000, Healtheon/WebMD, a provider of content and transaction
processing for Channelhealth's Internet services under an agreement dated June
8, 2000, indicated to Channelhealth that it would seek to terminate the June 8,
2000 agreement. As of November 27, 2000, no proposal for a renegotiated
agreement, and no notice of termination or breach of the agreement, has been
received from Healtheon/WebMD by Channelhealth. The effect on Channelhealth's
business of Healtheon/WebMD's actions with respect to this agreement is not yet
determinable but could have an adverse effect.

BUSINESS OF ALLSCRIPTS AND NEW ALLSCRIPTS

Allscripts

Allscripts provides physicians with Internet and client/server medication
management solutions designed to improve the quality and cost effectiveness of
pharmaceutical healthcare. Allscripts' technology-based approach focuses on the
point of care, where prescriptions and many other healthcare transactions
originate, and creates an electronic dialogue between physicians and other
participants in the healthcare delivery process, including patients,
pharmacies, managed care organizations and pharmaceutical manufacturers.

Allscripts currently offers products in four categories: point-of-care
medication management, Internet products and services, including e-detailing,
information products and prepackaged medications. Allscripts TouchScript
software enables electronic prescribing, routing of prescription information
and capturing of prescription data at the point of care. Allscripts' other e-
commerce products and services offer physicians and their patients medication-
related education and information services. Allscripts also sells prepackaged
medications to physicians for dispensing to their patients.

New Allscripts

New Allscripts is currently a wholly-owned subsidiary of Allscripts that has
not conducted any business activities except in connection with the mergers. As
a result of the mergers, Allscripts and Channelhealth will each become a
wholly-owned subsidiary of New Allscripts. Accordingly, the business of New
Allscripts will be the business currently conducted by Allscripts and the
Physician Channel business of Channelhealth.

Legal Proceedings

Three complaints, styled as shareholder class action complaints, have been
filed in the United States District Court for the Northern District of Illinois
against Allscripts and its President and Chief Financial Officer, David B.
Mullen, alleging that the defendants failed to disclose that revenue relating
to Allscripts' relationship with IMS Health was not properly recorded in the
second quarter of 2000. The complaints are captioned Bredeson v. Allscripts,
Inc. and David B. Mullen, Civ. No. 00C-6796 (N. D. Ill., filed on October 31,
2000), Karmazin v. Allscripts, Inc. and David B. Mullen, Civ. No. 00C-6864
(N.D. Ill., filed on November 2, 2000) and Mohr v. Allscripts, Inc. and David
B. Mullen, Civ. No. 00C-6992 (N.D. Ill., filed on November 6, 2000). The
complaints in these actions purport to be brought on behalf of individuals who
purchased common stock of Allscripts during the period of July 27, 2000 through
and including October 26, 2000. The plaintiffs allege violations of Sections
10(b) and 20(a) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 and seek unspecified
damages. According to reports on the Internet, at least one additional similar
complaint has been filed against Allscripts. At this time, management is unable
to determine the likely outcome of this matter or to reasonably estimate the
amount of loss with respect to this matter.

DESCRIPTION OF NEW ALLSCRIPTS CAPITAL STOCK

The following summary of the capital stock of New Allscripts is qualified in
its entirety by reference to the complete text of the Amended and Restated
Certificate of Incorporation of New Allscripts, as amended by the Certificate
of Amendment thereof, copies of which are filed as Exhibits 3.1 and 3.3,
respectively, to the registration statement filed by New Allscripts.     

Authorized Capital Stock

New Allscripts Common Stock

Holders of shares of New Allscripts common stock will be entitled to one
vote for each share held on all matters subject to a vote of stockholders,
subject to the rights of holders of any outstanding preferred stock, and will
not have cumulative voting rights. Accordingly, holders of a majority of the
shares of common stock entitled to vote in any election of directors will be
able to elect all of the directors standing for election, subject to the rights
of holders of any outstanding preferred stock. Holders of common stock will be
entitled to receive ratably any dividends that the board of directors may
declare out of funds legally available therefor, subject to any preferential
dividend rights of outstanding preferred stock. Upon the liquidation,
dissolution or winding up of New Allscripts, the holders of common stock would
be entitled to receive ratably the net assets of New Allscripts available after
the payment of all debts and other liabilities and subject to the prior rights
of holders of any outstanding preferred stock. Holders of common stock will
have no preemptive, subscription, redemption or conversion rights.

New Allscripts Preferred Stock

Under its certificate of incorporation, New Allscripts will be authorized to
issue 1,000,000 shares of preferred stock, which may be issued from time to
time in one or more series upon authorization by the board of directors. The
board of directors, without further approval of the stockholders, will be
authorized to fix the number of shares constituting any series, as well as the
dividend rights and terms, conversion rights and terms, voting rights and
terms, redemption rights and terms, liquidation preferences and any other
rights, preferences, privileges and restrictions applicable to each series of
preferred stock. The issuance of preferred stock, while providing flexibility
in connection with possible acquisitions and other corporate purposes, could
also adversely affect the voting power of the holders of common stock. The
issuance of preferred stock could also, under some circumstances, have the
effect of making it more difficult for a third party to acquire, or
discouraging a third party from acquiring, a majority of New Allscripts
outstanding voting stock or otherwise adversely affect the market price of New
Allscripts common stock. The management of Allscripts is not aware of any plans
by a third party to seek control of Allscripts or New Allscripts, and has no
current plans to issue any preferred stock.

New Allscripts Warrants

Upon completion of the mergers, New Allscripts will assume Allscripts
warrants outstanding to purchase, as of November 29, 2000, an aggregate of
27,703 shares of Allscripts common stock at an average weighted exercise price
of $2.41 per share.     

Registration Rights of Certain Holders of New Allscripts Common Stock

Liberty Partners Holdings 6, L.L.C., Morgan Stanley Venture Investors III,
L.P., Morgan Stanley Venture Partners III, L.P. and The Morgan Stanley Venture
Partners Entrepreneur Fund, L.P., which collectively hold 8,502,233 shares of
Allscripts common stock, are entitled to registration rights with respect to
these shares. Under a registration rights agreement, Morgan Stanley Venture
Partners III, L.P., Morgan Stanley Venture Investors III, L.P. and The Morgan
Stanley Venture Partners Entrepreneur Fund, L.P., collectively, on the one
hand, and Liberty Partners Holdings 6, L.L.C., on the other hand, each are
entitled to require Allscripts to register their shares of common stock three
times, but not more than once in any six-month period. As of the date of filing
of this proxy statement/prospectus, the Morgan Stanley parties, collectively,
on the one hand, and Liberty Partners, on the other hand, have each exercised
their rights to require Allscripts to register their shares

89

of Allscripts common stock one time. After completion of the merger
transactions, they will be entitled to require New Allscripts to register their
shares of New Allscripts common stock two times, but no more than once in any
six-month period. In addition, if New Allscripts proposes or is required to
register any of its common stock, either for its own account or for the account
of other of its stockholders, New Allscripts will be required to notify Liberty
and the Morgan Stanley partnership stockholders, and subject to the limitations
specified in the registration agreement, to include in the registration all of
the common stock requested to be included by those holders. New Allscripts will
be obligated to bear the expenses, other than underwriting commissions, of the
first registration required by Liberty or the Morgan Stanley partnerships, and
of all incidental registrations. Any exercise of these registration rights may
hinder New Allscripts' efforts to arrange future financings and have an adverse
effect on the market price of New Allscripts' common stock.

Description of Registration Rights for Earnout Shares

Any shares of New Allscripts common stock issued pursuant to the earnout
clause of the merger agreement will be, and the right to receive such shares is
being, issued in reliance upon the exemption from the registration requirements
of the Securities Act afforded by Rule 506 of the Securities and Exchange
Commission's Regulation D. If any earnout shares are issued, within five
business days of issuance New Allscripts will file a non-exclusive resale
"shelf" registration statement to permit the unrestricted resale of those
shares to the public on a continuous basis. New Allscripts will use its best
efforts to cause the resale shelf registration statement to be declared
effective by the Securities and Exchange Commission as soon as practicable
after filing and to cause the registration statement to remain effective for a
period of two years from the date of filing or such earlier time as all of the
earnout shares covered by the registration statement have been sold.

Certain Limited Liability, Indemnification and Anti-takeover Provisions

Indemnification and Limitation of Liability

New Allscripts' certificate of incorporation and by-laws provide that New
Allscripts shall, with some limitations, indemnify its directors and officers
against expenses, including attorneys' fees, judgments, fines and certain
settlements, actually and reasonably incurred by them in connection with any
suit or proceeding to which they are a party so long as they acted in good
faith and in a manner reasonably believed to be in or not opposed to the best
interests of New Allscripts. This indemnification also applies to a criminal
action or proceeding, so long as the director or officer had no reasonable
cause to believe their conduct to have been unlawful.

Section 102 of the Delaware General Corporation Law permits a Delaware
corporation to include in its certificate of incorporation a provision
eliminating or limiting a director's liability to a corporation or its
stockholders for monetary damages for breaches of fiduciary duty. However, this
Section 102 provides that liability for breaches of the duty of loyalty, acts
or omissions not in good faith or involving intentional misconduct, or knowing
violation of the law, and the unlawful purchase or redemption of stock or
payment of unlawful dividends or the receipt of improper personal benefits
cannot be eliminated or limited in this manner. New Allscripts' certificate of
incorporation includes a provision that eliminates, to the fullest extent
permitted, director liability for monetary damages for breaches of fiduciary
duty.

Section 203 of the Delaware General Corporation Law

Section 203 of the Delaware General Corporation Law prohibits certain
transactions between a Delaware corporation and an "interested stockholder,"
which is defined as a person who, together with any affiliates or associates,
beneficially owns, directly or indirectly, 15% or more of the outstanding
voting shares of a Delaware corporation. This provision prohibits certain
business combinations between an interested stockholder and a corporation for a
period of three years after the date the interested stockholder becomes an
interested stockholder, unless:

. the business combination is approved by the corporation's board of
directors prior to the date the interested stockholder becomes an
interested stockholder;

90

. the interested stockholder acquired at least 85% of the voting stock of
the corporation (other than stock held by directors who are also officers
or by certain employee stock plans) in the transaction in which it
becomes an interested stockholder; or

. the business combination is approved by a majority of the board of
directors and by the affirmative vote of 66 2/3% of the outstanding
voting stock that is not owned by the interested stockholder.

For this purpose, business combinations include mergers, consolidations,
sales or other dispositions of assets having an aggregate value in excess of
10% of the consolidated assets of the corporation, and certain transactions
that would increase the interested stockholder's proportionate share ownership
in the corporation.

Upon completion of the Channelhealth merger, IDX will become an interested
stockholder of New Allscripts for purposes of Section 203. Pursuant to the
stock rights and restrictions agreement to be entered into between IDX and New
Allscripts, IDX and Allscripts agreed that for the term of that agreement, the
operative provisions, as presently in effect, of Section 203 will apply to any
business combination between the parties notwithstanding that those provisions
might otherwise apply for a shorter period of time.

Special Meetings of Stockholders; No Stockholder Action By Written Consent

New Allscripts' certificate of incorporation provides that special meetings
of its stockholders may be called only by a majority of the board of directors,
the Chairman or the President. In addition, the New Allscripts' certificate of
incorporation provides that its stockholders may only take actions at a duly
called annual or special meeting of stockholders and may not take action by
written consent.

Advance Notice Requirements for Stockholder Proposals and Nomination of
Directors

New Allscripts' by-laws provide that stockholders seeking to bring business
before, or nominate directors at, any annual meeting of stockholders, must
provide timely notice in writing. To be timely, a stockholder's notice must be
given in writing to the Secretary of New Allscripts not fewer than 120 days
prior to the meeting. The by-laws also specify requirements for a stockholder's
notice to be in proper written form.

Classified Board of Directors

The New Allscripts certificate of incorporation and by-laws provide that the
board of directors is divided into three classes of directors serving staggered
three-year terms. As a result, one-third of New Allscripts' board of directors
will be elected each year. See "Management of New Allscripts--Directors."

Number of Directors; Removal; Vacancies

The New Allscripts by-laws provide that New Allscripts will have at least
three directors, with the exact number to be fixed by the board of directors.
Vacancies on the board of directors may be filled only by the affirmative vote
of the remaining directors then in office. The New Allscripts certificate of
incorporation provides that directors may be removed only for cause and only by
the holders of at least 80% of the outstanding shares of stock entitled to vote
generally in the election of directors, voting together as a single class.

Currently the number of Allscripts directors is fixed at eight. Prior to
completion of the mergers, the New Allscripts board will fix the number of New
Allscripts directors at nine to accommodate the appointment to the board of
Richard E. Tarrant pursuant to the stock rights and restrictions agreement. See
"The Related Transaction Agreements--The Stock Rights and Restrictions
Agreement--New Allscripts Board of Directors."

Consideration of Constituencies with Respect to Acquisitions

The New Allscripts certificate of incorporation provides that in determining
whether an acquisition proposal is in the best interests of New Allscripts and
its stockholders, its board of directors may, to the extent

91

permitted by law, consider all factors it deems relevant, including the effects
of the acquisition upon New Allscripts' employees, suppliers and customers and
the communities in which New Allscripts is located.

Transfer Agent and Registrar

The transfer agent and registrar for the New Allscripts common stock is

COMPARISON OF RIGHTS OF STOCKHOLDERS OF NEW ALLSCRIPTS
AND STOCKHOLDERS OF ALLSCRIPTS

New Allscripts and Allscripts are both organized under the laws of the State
of Delaware. Therefore, any differences in the rights of holders of Allscripts
common stock and New Allscripts common stock arise primarily from differences
in their respective certificates of incorporation and by-laws. The New
Allscripts certificate of incorporation and the New Allscripts by-laws are
substantially similar to the Allscripts certificate of incorporation and the
Allscripts by-laws, respectively.

95

COMPARISON OF CERTIFICATES OF INCORPORATION AND BY-LAWS OF

Channelhealth and New Allscripts are both organized under the laws of the

in their respective certificates of incorporation and by-laws. The following is
a summary of certain of the material differences between the rights of the
holders of New Allscripts common stock, on the one hand, and the rights of the
holders of Channelhealth common stock and the holders of Channelhealth
preferred stock, on the other. Upon completion of the mergers, Channelhealth

were outstanding at October 31, 2000.

designation, stated value, redemption rights, voting rights, preferences, terms
of conversion or exchange, dividend rate and date of payment of any dividends
with respect to each series of preferred stock and to provide for a sinking

by the conversion price as last adjusted and in effect at the date any shares
of preferred stock are surrendered for conversion.

holders of a particular class or series of Channelhealth stock may only be

Liability of Directors

New Allscripts

its directors to New Allscripts or its stockholders for monetary damages
arising from a breach of fiduciary duty, except for: (1) a breach of the duty
of loyalty to New Allscripts or its stockholders, (2) acts or omissions not in
good faith or which involve intentional misconduct or a knowing violation of
law, (3) a declaration of a dividend or the authorization of the repurchase or
redemption of stock in violation of the Delaware General Corporation Law or (4)

New Allscripts' certificate of incorporation provides that New Allscripts
shall indemnify any person involved in a third-party action, suit or
proceeding, whether civil, criminal, administrative or investigative, by reason
of being a director or officer of New Allscripts, or by reason of being an
officer, director or employee of another enterprise at the request of New
Allscripts, against expenses, liability and loss (including attorneys' fees,
judgments, fines, ERISA excise taxes and amounts paid or to be paid in
settlement) reasonably incurred or suffered in connection with such action,
suit or proceeding or incurred by reason of such person's being or having been
a representative of New Allscripts, to the fullest extent permitted by law. New
Allscripts' certificate of incorporation also provides that New Allscripts may
advance to a director or officer expenses incurred in defending any action,
upon receipt of an undertaking by or on behalf of the person to repay the
amount advanced if it is ultimately determined that he or she is not entitled
to indemnification. The New Allscripts certificate of incorporation provides
that if a claim for indemnity is not paid in full by New Allscripts within 30
days after receipt of the claim, the claimant may bring suit against New
Allscripts to recover the unpaid amount of the claim and, if successful, is
entitled to recover the expenses incurred in prosecuting the claim. The New
Allscripts' certificate of incorporation provides further that the provisions
for indemnification are not exclusive of any other rights to which the party
may be entitled under any statute, by-law, agreement or vote of stockholders or
disinterested directors. The New Allscripts by-laws provide for indemnification
of directors and officers to the fullest extent permitted by law.

Channelhealth, a director, officer or trustee of, or acting in a similar

in connection with such action, suit or proceeding (but may indemnify such
person only against expenses incurred in a derivative action on behalf of such

Channelhealth, if such person acted in good faith and reasonably believed that
his or her actions were in or not opposed to the best interests of
Channelhealth and, with respect to any criminal proceeding, had no reasonable
cause to believe that his or her conduct was unlawful. Channelhealth's
certificate of incorporation also provides that Channelhealth may advance to
any such director or officer expenses incurred in defending any action, upon
receipt of an undertaking by or on behalf of the person to repay the amount
advanced if it is ultimately determined that he or she is not entitled to
indemnification. A determination as to the amount of the indemnification to be
made by Channelhealth shall be made either (1) by a majority vote of the
directors who are not parties to such action, even though less than a quorum,
or, if there are no such directors or if such directors so direct, by a
committee of disinterested directors designated by independent legal counsel,
(2) by a majority vote of a quorum of the outstanding shares of stock of all
classes entitled to vote for directors, voting as a single class, consisting of
stockholders who are not parties to such action or (3) by a court of competent

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT AUDITORS

To the Board of Directors of Channelhealth Incorporated

We have audited the accompanying statements of net assets of the Physician
Channel Business of Channelhealth Incorporated as of December 31, 1998 and
1999, and the related statements of operations, changes in net assets and cash
flows for each of the three years in the period ended December 31, 1999. These
financial statements are the responsibility of management. Our responsibility
is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on our audits.

We conducted our audits in accordance with auditing standards generally
accepted in the United States. Those standards require that we plan and perform
the audits to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial
statements are free of material misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a
test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial
statements. An audit also includes assessing the accounting principles used and
significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall
financial statement presentation. We believe that our audits provide a
reasonable basis for our opinion.

In our opinion, the financial statements referred to above present fairly,
in all material respects, the net assets of the Physician Channel business of
Channelhealth Incorporated as of December 31, 1998, and 1999 and the results of
its operations and its cash flows for each of the three years in the period
ended December 31, 1999 in conformity with accounting principles generally
accepted in the United States.

and web-based software for physicians and their patients. The software allows
physicians to access web-based content and services and includes a set of web-
based software applications for the physician to manage clinical workflow. The
web-based software is not expected to be available until early 2001. Prior to
its availability, the Physician Channel Business' product revenue has been
comprised of the license of non web-based software with many of the same
functional and performance capabilities of the web-based software in
development.

As more fully described in Note 2, Proposed Transaction, the accompanying
financial statements have been prepared in connection with the proposed sale of
the PC Business to Allscripts, Inc. (Acquiror or Allscripts). The PC Business
is not a separate legal entity and the financial balances associated with the
PC Business are components of a larger business. Therefore, while separate
financial information with respect to the PC Business assets and liabilities,
revenues, costs and expenses have been presented herein, no separate asset,
liability, revenue, costs and expense accounts have been specifically
maintained for the PC Business in the IDX consolidated financial records.
Consequently, the financial information herein has been derived from the
consolidated financial records of IDX and as a result, the statements do not
purport to reflect the financial position or results of operations that would
have resulted if the PC Business had operated as an unaffiliated company.

Certain costs and expenses incurred by IDX and CH on behalf of the PC
Business have been allocated to the PC Business on various bases as discussed
below that, in the opinion of management, are reasonable. These allocated costs
and expenses, however, are not necessarily indicative of costs and expenses
that would have been incurred had the PC Business been operating as an
unaffiliated company.

Revenues

System sales, which include software licenses and hardware, of the PC
Business were identified by specific classification codes within the CH and IDX
financial accounting records representing the PC Business product lines.
Revenues from services were determined from the value of maintenance contracts
and specific customer projects and product installations for each customer.

Cost of Revenues

Costs of system sales and services were identified by specific
classification codes within the CH and IDX financial accounting records
representing the PC Business product lines and services. Such codes are
consistent with those used to identify system sales and service revenues.

Selling, General and Administrative Expenses

Certain selling, general and administrative expenses, not otherwise
specifically identifiable with the PC Business, are allocated on the basis of
estimates of time and effort spent and number of dedicated and allocated
employees. Such allocated expenses primarily include finance and accounting,
human resources, information systems, selling and other administrative
activities. In the opinion of management, these allocations of direct expenses
were made on a reasonable basis. However, such expenses are not necessarily
indicative of the level of expenses which might have been incurred had the PC
Business been operating as an unaffiliated company.

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS--(Continued)

Research and Development

Research and development activities related to web-based software and
services are allocated on specific development projects and, if not
specifically identifiable, on the basis of estimates of time and effort spent
and number of dedicated and allocated employees. In the opinion of management,
these allocations of direct expenses were made on a reasonable basis. However,
such expenses are not necessarily indicative of the level of expenses which
might have been incurred had the PC Business been operating as an unaffiliated
company.

Income Taxes

For the purposes of these financial statements, management has applied the
estimated effective income tax rate to the taxable revenues in excess of tax
deductible costs and expenses as if the Physician Channel Business were an
unaffiliated company for income tax reporting purposes. No benefit for
available net operating loss carryforwards (NOL's) has been allocated to the PC
Business because of the uncertainty that NOL's would be realizable on an
unaffiliated company basis.

Determination of Net Assets

Assets and liabilities have been included in these statements only when they
are exclusively related or attributable to the operations of the PC Business.
No allocation of common assets, such as facilities, or liabilities, such as
accrued officers' compensation, has been made. To the extent assets have been
acquired or liabilities incurred, the PC Business has financed these activities
and shown these amounts in the accompanying financial statements as net
proceeds provided to the PC Business from IDX Systems Corporation. However, as
discussed above, allocations of shared costs and expenses have been made in the
statements of net assets of the PC Business and related statements of
operations. In connection with the Proposed Transaction, the carrying value of
accounts receivable, unbilled receivables and deferred revenues as of the
closing date will be included in the settlement of the Merger Agreement
described in Note 2.

Management Estimates

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting
principles generally accepted in the United States requires management to make
estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported in them and the
accompanying disclosures. The more significant estimates that affect these
statements include allocations of costs and expenses to the PC Business and
collectibillity of accounts receivable. In the opinion of management, the
allocation of costs and expenses are reasonable and not materially different
than if it had operated as an unaffiliated entity. However, the allocations are
not necessarily indicative of costs and expenses that would have been incurred
had the PC Business been operating as an unaffiliated company. Although
management regularly assesses these estimates, which are based on management's
knowledge of current events and actions that may be taken in the future, actual
results could differ from those estimates.

2. Proposed Transaction (unaudited)

On July 13, 2000, IDX announced an agreement (Merger Agreement) to sell the
PC Business of CH to Allscripts, a provider of ambulatory point-of-care e-
prescribing and productivity solutions for physicians. In connection with the
Proposed Transaction, IDX entered into an Asset Purchase Agreement with CH
whereby IDX will acquire from CH, at the closing of the Proposed Transaction,
the net assets and operations of the e-Commerce Channel and certain components
of the Patient Channel. Under the terms of this agreement, IDX will pay for the
acquisition of these assets and operations through the cancellation of
2,771,009 shares of CH's common stock owned by IDX. In addition to the
acquisition, IDX has agreed to enter into a 10-year strategic alliance whereby
Allscripts will become the exclusive provider of point-of-care clinical
applications sold by IDX to physician practices.

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS--(Continued)

As a result of the Asset Purchase Agreement executed as of the closing of
the Proposed Transaction, the operations, assets and liabilities of CH will be
comprised of the PC Business alone. Under the terms of the Proposed
Transaction, which is subject to regulatory and Allscript's and CH's
shareholder approval, Allscripts will exchange approximately 8.6 million shares
of Allscripts common stock for all of the outstanding shares of capital stock
of CH. The historical capital stock of CH as of December 31, 1999 and September
30, 2000 and on a pro forma basis as of the closing is as follows:

which the shares of Series A Preferred Stock held are then convertible. Each
holder of Series A Preferred Stock is entitled to a liquidation preference in
the event of a liquidation, dissolution or winding up of Channelhealth equal to
the consideration paid of $11.80 per share of Series A Preferred Stock plus all
dividends declared and accrued but not paid. Each share of Series A Preferred
Stock is convertible at any time by the holder into one share of common stock,
subject to certain anti-dilutive provisions. The Series A Preferred Stock is
subject to mandatory conversion in the event of an initial public offering
resulting in at least $35 million of net proceeds to Channelhealth and a market
capitalization of at least $500 million. The Series A Preferred Stock is also
redeemable at the option of the holder commencing on the fifth anniversary of
the date of issuance. The redemption price is equal to $11.80 per share plus
any declared but unpaid dividends, payable in three equal installments over
three years.

As described above, the pro forma information reflects the cancellation of
2,771,009 shares of CH's common stock owned by IDX as consideration for IDX's
purchase of the net assets and operations of the eCommerce Channel Business and
certain components of the Patient Channel Business.

3. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

Revenue Recognition

In 1997, the Company recognized revenue in accordance with the provisions of
Statement of Position ("SOP") No. 91-1, "Software Revenue Recognition." In
October 1997 and December 1998, the American Institute of Certified Public
Accountants issued SOP No. 97-2, as amended by SOP No. 98-4 and SOP 98-9, which
supersedes SOP 91-1. In 1998, the PC Business adopted SOP No. 97-2, which
generally requires revenue earned on software arrangements involving multiple
elements to be allocated to each element based on the relative fair values of
those elements. The fair value of an element must be based on objective
evidence that is specific to the vendor. If the vendor does not have evidence
of the fair value for all the elements in a multiple-element arrangement, all
revenue from the arrangement is deferred until such evidence exists or until
all elements are delivered. Additionally, the Company periodically enters into
certain long term contracts to which SOP 81-1, "Accounting for Performance of
Construction-Type and Certain Production-Type Contracts," is applied. For these
agreements, revenue is recognized under a percentage of completion basis as
appropriate measures of completion for each contract is achieved.

The Company generates revenues from system sales, which include the licenses
of software and sale of hardware, maintenance contracts and consulting
contracts. Accordingly, revenue from software licensing

F-9

PHYSICIAN CHANNEL BUSINESS OF CHANNELHEALTH INCORPORATED

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS--(Continued)

arrangements is principally recognized upon delivery, subject to specified
milestones and dates. Revenue from consulting services is recognized in the
period in which services are performed. Revenue from hardware sales is
recognized upon delivery. Revenue from maintenance contracts is recognized
ratably over the term of the support period, which is typically one year.

Any material anticipated contract losses are recognized in the period that
they are determined. Deferred revenue is recorded to the extent that billings
exceed revenue recognized under service contracts. Unbilled accounts receivable
is recorded to the extent that revenue recognized exceeds billings under
service contracts.

In December 1999, the Securities and Exchange Commission issued Staff
Accounting Bulletin (SAB) No. 101 "Revenue Recognition in Financial
Statements". The SAB formalizes positions the staff has expressed in speeches
and comment letters. SAB 101 is effective no later than the fourth fiscal
quarter of the fiscal year beginning after December 15, 1999. The Company is
presently analyzing the impact, if any, that adherence to the SAB will have on
its financial condition or results of operations.

Research and Development

Research and development costs are expensed as incurred. Software
development costs incurred after the establishment of technological feasibility
and until the product is available for general release are capitalized,
provided recoverability is reasonably assured. Technological feasibility is
established upon the completion of a working model. Software development costs,
when material, are stated at the lower of unamortized cost or net realizable
value. Net realizable value for each software product is assessed based on
anticipated profitability applicable to revenues of the related product in
future periods. Amortization is provided on a straight-line basis over three
years and is included in cost of revenues. During 1997, 1998 and 1999, the
Company capitalized $661,289, $885,154 and $124,640, respectively, of non web-
based software development costs. Amortization expense of capitalized software
for the years ended December 31, 1997, 1998 and 1999 was $277,996, $795,220 and
$537,888, respectively. Costs related to the web-based software have not been
capitalized since technological feasibility has not yet been achieved.

Software development costs related to the development of the Company's web
hosting capabilities are expensed or capitalized based upon the nature of the
costs incurred in accordance with Statement of Position 98-1 "Accounting for
the Costs of Computer Software Developed or Obtained for Internal Use" (SOP 98-
1). Planning and feasibility costs are expensed as incurred. Cost of internal
and external labor related to web infrastructure and applications are
capitalized. Capitalized costs are amortized on a straight-line basis over
their useful life. Maintenance and operating costs are expensed as incurred. As
of December 31, 1998 and 1999 and September 30, 2000, the Company has not yet
incurred any costs related to the development of web hosting and related
capabilities.     

Concentration of Credit Risk

Financial instruments that potentially subject the PC Business to
concentration of credit risk consist primarily of trade accounts receivables.
The customers are substantially all large integrated healthcare delivery
enterprises principally located in the United States. To reduce credit risk,
credit evaluations of the financial condition of its customers are performed.
Although the PC Business is directly affected by the overall financial
condition of the healthcare industry, management does not believe significant
credit risk exists at December 31, 1999. The losses related to collection of
accounts receivables have consistently been within management's expectations.

Equipment

Until 1999, CH did not maintain separate accountability for the purchase and
usage of equipment, principally computer and related equipment. Accordingly, an
equipment usage charge has been recognized in

F-10

PHYSICIAN CHANNEL BUSINESS OF CHANNELHEALTH INCORPORATED

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS--(Continued)

the accompanying 1997 and 1998 financial statements based on the estimated
usage of IDX equipment by the PC Business personnel. In 1999, equipment being
used by the PC Business was specifically identified and has been included at
cost less accumulated depreciation in the statement of net assets as of
December 31, 1999. During 1999, depreciation has been provided on this
equipment by the straight-line method over the estimated useful lives of two to
three years.

Income Taxes

The Company accounts for income taxes under the liability method as required
by Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (SFAS) No. 109, "Accounting for
Income Taxes." Under this method, deferred tax assets and liabilities are
recognized for the future tax consequences of differences between the tax and
financial accounting of assets and liabilities at each year end. Deferred
income taxes are based on enacted tax laws and statutory tax rates applicable
to the periods in which the differences are expected to affect taxable income.
A valuation allowance is established when necessary to reduce deferred tax
assets to the amounts expected to be realized. Income tax expense is the tax
payable for the period and the change during the period in deferred tax assets
and liabilities.

Stock-Based Compensation

The Company adopted the disclosure-only provisions of SFAS No. 123,
"Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation" for options granted to employees. As
permitted by SFAS No. 123, the Company accounts for stock options granted to
employees in accordance with Accounting Principles Board Opinion (APB) No. 25,
"Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees," and has included the pro forma
disclosures required by SFAS No. 123 for all periods presented.

Stock options issued to non-employees, including IDX personnel who are not
employees of CH, are accounted for under SFAS No. 123 and FASB Interpretation
(FIN) No. 44 "Accounting for Certain Transactions involving Stock Compensation,
an interpretation of APB Opinion No. 25." These transactions are accounted for
based on the fair value of the goods or services received or on the fair value
of the equity instruments issued, using the Black-Scholes methodology,
dependent on which measure is more reliable. All expenses related to these
transactions were recognized based upon the vesting of the options, generally
at the date of grant.

Accounting for Derivatives and Hedging Activities

In June 1998, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued SFAS No. 133,
"Accounting for Derivatives and Hedging Activities" (SFAS No. 133) as amended
by SFAS No. 137, which establishes accounting and reporting standards for
derivative instruments, including derivative instruments embedded in other
contracts, (collectively referred to as derivatives) and for hedging
activities. SFAS No. 133 is effective for all fiscal quarters of fiscal years
beginning after June 15, 2000. The Company is presently analyzing the impact,
if any, that the adoption of SFAS No. 133 will have on its financial condition
or results of operations.

Segment Information

In June 1997, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued Statement of
Financial Accounting Standards (SFAS) No. 131, "Disclosures about Segments of
an Enterprise and Related Information." The Company adopted SFAS No. 131
effective with the fiscal year ended December 31, 1998. SFAS No. 131
establishes standards for reporting information regarding operating segments in
annual financial statements and requires selected information for those
segments to be presented in interim financial reports issued to stockholders.
SFAS No. 131 also establishes standards for related disclosures about major
customers, products

F-11

PHYSICIAN CHANNEL BUSINESS OF CHANNELHEALTH INCORPORATED

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS--(Continued)

and services, and geographic areas. Operating segments are identified as
components of an enterprise about which separate discrete financial information
is available for evaluation by the chief operating decision maker, or decision
making group, in making decisions how to allocate resources and assess
performance. The Company views its operations and manages its business as
principally one segment, healthcare web-based information solutions that
include software, hardware and related services.

Substantially all of the Company's operations are in the United States. For
the year ended December 31, 1997, four customers accounted for approximately
69% or more of the Company's revenues. For the year ended December 31, 1998,
two customers accounted for approximately 46% or more of the Company's
revenues. For the year ended December 31, 1999, three customers accounted for
approximately 62% or more of the Company's revenues. As a result, the financial
information disclosed herein represents all of the material financial
information related to the Company's principal operating segment.

Interim Reporting (unaudited)

The interim unaudited financial statements have been prepared by the Company
pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission
and in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United
States. Accordingly, certain information and footnotes disclosure normally
included in annual financial statements have been omitted or condensed. In the
opinion of management, all necessary adjustments (consisting of only normal
recurring accruals) have been made to provide a fair presentation.

4. Financing Arrangements

The net proceeds provided to the PC Business from IDX included in the
accompanying financial statements represents a net balance as a result of
various transactions between the PC Business and IDX. The amount represents
IDX's investment in the PC Business. Interest at a rate of 9.0% has been
charged on the net balance. The balance is primarily the result of the PC
Business's participation in IDX's cash management program, wherein all of the
PC Business's cash receipts are remitted to IDX and all operating expenses,
including the allocation of certain costs and expenses described above, are
funded by IDX.

An analysis of transactions with IDX for each of the periods presented

5. Benefit Plans

Stock Option Plan

Effective October 1, 1999, CH established a stock option plan to provide
employees, consultants or advisors to CH and members of the Board the ability
to acquire an ownership interest in CH. Options to employees under the plan
generally vest 25% per year and expire ten years after issuance. As of December
31, 1999, CH reserved 2,500,000 shares of common stock for issuance under the
Plan. At December 31, 1999,

F-12

PHYSICIAN CHANNEL BUSINESS OF CHANNELHEALTH INCORPORATED

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS--(Continued)

there were a total of 1,248,475 options granted under this plan. In connection
with the Proposed Transaction, outstanding options of CH will be exchanged for
options of Allscripts based on their fair value.

In November 1999, options to purchase an aggregate of 1,232,725 shares of
common stock, which vest immediately, were granted to IDX personnel who were
not employees of CH at an exercise price of $10 per share. Based on the
provisions of FIN No. 44, the Company has recognized a compensation charge of
$4,561,083 relating to these option grants.

The Compensation Committee has the right, in its discretion, to select the
individuals eligible to receive awards, determine the terms and conditions of
the awards granted, accelerate the vesting schedule of any award and generally
administer and interpret the plan.

The Compensation Committee determines the exercise prices of options granted
under the 1999 Stock Option and Incentive Plan. Under present law, incentive
stock options and options intended to qualify as performance-based compensation
under Section 162(m) of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986 may not be granted at
an exercise price less than the fair market value of the common stock on the
date of grant or less than 110% of the fair market value in the case of
incentive stock options granted to optionees holding more than 10% of the
voting power.

Non-qualified stock options may be granted at prices that are less than the
fair market value of the underlying shares on the date granted. Options, other
than those granted to IDX personnel described above, are typically subject to
vesting schedules, terminate ten years from the date of grant and may be
exercised for specified periods after the termination of the optionee's
employment or other service relationship with the Company. Upon the exercise of
options, the option exercise price must be paid in full either in cash or other
instrument acceptable to the committee or by delivery of shares of common stock
that have been owned by the optionee free of restrictions for at least six
months.

The 1999 Stock Option and Incentive Plan and all awards issued under the
plan will terminate upon a merger, reorganization or consolidation, the sale of
all or substantially all of the Company's assets or all of the outstanding
capital stock or a liquidation or other similar transaction, unless CH and the
other parties to such transactions have agreed otherwise.

A summary of the Company's stock option activity and related information is

Pro forma disclosure information regarding net loss is required by SFAS No.
123 and has been determined as if the Company has accounted for its employee
stock options under the fair value method of that statement. The fair value of
these options was estimated at the date of grant using the Black Scholes option
pricing model with the following weighted average assumptions for 1999: risk-
free interest rates of 6.07%; dividend yields of 0%; and a weighted average
life of the options of two years and volatility of 60.27%. Option valuation
models require the input of highly subjective assumptions. The Company's
employee stock options have characteristics significantly different from those
of traded stock options and because changes in subjective assumptions can
materially affect the fair value estimate, in management's opinion, the
existing models do not necessarily provide a reliable single measure of the
fair value of its employee stock options.

For purposes of pro forma disclosures, the estimated fair value of the
options is amortized to expense over the vesting period of such options. The
pro forma net loss, as if compensation cost for the Plan had been determined
based on the fair value at the grant date in accordance with the provisions of
SFAS No. 123, is approximately $6,700 higher than the actual reported net loss
for the year ended December 31, 1999.

The effects on 1999 pro forma net loss of expensing the estimated fair value
of stock options and shares issued to employees pursuant to the 1999 Stock
Option and Incentive Plan are not necessarily representative of the effects on
reporting the results of operations for future years.

401(K) Retirement Savings Plan

The Company provides its employees a 401(k) retirement savings plan benefit
as a participating subsidiary in the IDX Systems Corporation Retirement Income
Plan that covers all full-time employees eligible to participate. Under the IDX
plan, employees are eligible to participate in the plan on the first day of the
month following the date of employment. The Company matches participant
contributions up to 3%.

6. Income Taxes

A reconciliation of the federal statutory rate to the effective income tax
rate during 1997, 1998, and 1999 as if the Company were an unaffiliated Company

purposes and the amounts used for income tax purposes. Significant components
of the Company's deferred tax assets as of December 31, 1998 and 1999 are shown
below.

At December 31, 1999, the Company's net operating loss carry forward for
federal income tax purposes would be approximately $19.0 million, if the
Company were an unaffiliated Company for income tax reporting purposes. For
income tax provision purposes a valuation allowance has been recorded for the
full amount of the net operating loss carryforward due to the uncertainty of
recovery.

7. Commitments and Contingencies

The Company is from time to time involved in routine litigation incidental
to the conduct of its business. The Company believes that routine litigation
currently pending will not have a material adverse effect on the financial
condition or results of operations of the PC Business.

In February 2000, IDX and the Company were notified of a contractual dispute
with respect to an exclusivity provision from a supply contract with a third
party. In September 2000, IDX, the Company and the third party settled the
dispute and related litigation. In connection with the settlement and defense
of the litigation, IDX and the Company incurred total costs of approximately
$1,034,000. The settlement of the litigation and the legal costs incurred as of
September 30, 2000 totaling $936,736 have been recognized in the statement of
operations as of September 30, 2000.     

On January 24, 2000, IDX and CH announced a strategic alliance with
Healtheon/WebMD, and CH announced, subject to regulatory approval, an
investment in Healtheon/WebMD. As a result of the anticipated extensive
regulatory review process, among other considerations, the agreement with
Healtheon/WebMD was revised to exclude the investment by CH in Healtheon/WebMD.

On June 8, 2000, the new agreement, which is not subject to regulatory
approval, included the following terms. Healtheon/WebMD will provide electronic
transaction services for IDX's practice management systems and CH Internet
services. Healtheon/WebMD's content will be integrated into CH's Physician
Channel and Patient Channel Internet services. Healtheon/WebMD will commit to a
multi-million dollar co-branded marketing campaign promoting IDX and CH
products and services that incorporate Healtheon/WebMD content and
transactions.

In September 2000, Healtheon/WebMD indicated that it may modify or terminate
certain business relationships, and in October 2000, indicated to CH that it
would seek to terminate the new agreement. As of November 27, 2000, no proposal
for a renegotiated agreement, and no notice of termination or breach of the new
agreement, has been received from Healtheon/WebMD by CH.     

On September 29, 2000, Channelhealth entered into a 3-year lease with a
leasing company for computer equipment. Total lease payments for this equipment
will approximate $806,000.

8. Preferred Stock     

On January 10, 2000, CH sold 2,542,243 shares of Series A Convertible
Preferred Stock to Pequot Private Equity Fund II, L.P. for a purchase price of
$29,998,467 (representing approximately 9.0% of the outstanding shares of
stock, on an as converted basis, of CH). On January 31, 2000, CH sold
additional 177,186 shares of Series A Convertible Preferred Stock to other
shareholders for a purchase price of $2,090,795. Under certain circumstances,
the Series A Convertible Preferred Stock is convertible into common stock of
CH. Any unexpended proceeds from the sale of CH Series A Convertible Preferred
Stock will be distributed to IDX prior to the Proposed Transaction and
accordingly have not been reflected on the accompanying statements of net
assets.     

9. Year 2000 Costs (unaudited)     

In late 1999, the Company completed its remediation and testing of systems
to become Year 2000 ready. As a result of those planning and implementation
efforts, PC experienced no significant disruptions in mission critical
information technology and non-information technology systems and believes
those systems successfully responded to the Year 2000 date change. No
significant costs were incurred in connection with remediating its systems. PC
is not aware of any material problems resulting from Year 2000 issues, either
with its products, its internal systems, or the products and services of third
parties. PC will continue to monitor its mission critical computer applications
and those of its suppliers and vendors throughout the year 2000 to ensure that
any latent Year 2000 matters that may arise are addressed promptly.

(subject to equitable adjustment in the event of any stock split, stock
dividend, reverse stock split or similar event affecting the Parent Common
Stock or the Allscripts Common Stock between the date of this Agreement and the

and without any action on the part of the holders thereof, all such shares of

(d) ChannelHealth Stock Options. As soon as practicable following the date
of this Agreement, Parent shall take such action as may be required to effect
the following provisions of this Section 2.2(d). As of the time of Closing each
option to purchase shares of ChannelHealth Common Stock (a "ChannelHealth
Option") which is then outstanding shall be assumed by Parent and converted
into an option (an "Assumed Option") to purchase the number of shares of Parent
Common Stock (rounded up to the nearest whole share) equal to (i) the number of
shares of ChannelHealth Common Stock subject to such option multiplied by (ii)
the ChannelHealth Exchange Ratio, at an exercise price per share of Parent
Common Stock (rounded down to the nearest penny) equal to (A) the former
exercise price per share of ChannelHealth Common Stock under such option
immediately prior to the Closing divided by (B) the ChannelHealth Exchange
Ratio; provided, however, that in the case of any ChannelHealth Option to which
Section 421 of the Code applies by reason of its qualification under Section
422 of the Code, the conversion formula shall be adjusted, if necessary, to
comply with Section 424(a) of the Code. Except as provided above, the Assumed
Options shall be subject to the same terms and conditions (including expiration
date, vesting and exercise provisions) as were applicable to the converted
ChannelHealth Option immediately prior to the Closing. As soon as practicable
after the Effective Time, Parent shall deliver to the holders of Assumed
Options appropriate notices setting forth such holders' rights pursuant to such
Assumed Options, as amended by this Section 2.2(d), and the agreements
evidencing such Assumed Options shall continue in effect on the same terms and
conditions (subject to the amendments provided for in this Section 2.2(d) and
such notice). Parent shall take such actions as are reasonably necessary for
the assumption of the ChannelHealth Options pursuant to this Section 2.2(d),
including the reservation,

4

issuance and listing of shares of Parent Common Stock as is necessary to
effectuate the transactions contemplated by this Section 2.2(d). Parent shall
prepare and file with the SEC a registration statement on Form S-8 or other
appropriate form with respect to the shares of Parent Common Stock subject to
the Assumed Options as soon as practicable, and in any event within thirty (30)
days after the Closing Date, and to maintain the effectiveness of such
registration statement or registration statements covering such Assumed Options
(and maintain the current status of the prospectus or prospectuses contained
therein) for so long as any Assumed Options remain outstanding.

(e) ChannelHealth Dissenting Shares.

(i) For purposes of this Agreement, "ChannelHealth Dissenting Shares" means
shares of ChannelHealth Common Stock held as of the Effective Time by a
stockholder who has not voted such shares of ChannelHealth Common Stock in
favor of the adoption of this Agreement and the ChannelHealth Merger and with
respect to which appraisal shall have been duly demanded and perfected in
accordance with Section 262 of the DGCL and not effectively withdrawn or
forfeited prior to the Effective Time. ChannelHealth Dissenting Shares shall
not be converted into or represent the right to receive shares of Parent Common
Stock, unless such stockholder shall have forfeited his, her or its right to
appraisal under the DGCL or properly withdrawn his, her or its demand for
appraisal. If such stockholder has so forfeited or withdrawn his, her or its
right to appraisal of ChannelHealth Dissenting Shares, then (A) as of the
occurrence of such event, such holder's ChannelHealth Dissenting Shares shall
cease to be ChannelHealth Dissenting Shares and shall be converted into and
represent the right to receive the shares of Parent Common Stock issuable in
respect of such shares of ChannelHealth Common Stock pursuant to Section
2.2(b), and (B) promptly following the occurrence of such event, Parent shall
deliver to the Exchange Agent a certificate representing the shares of Parent
Common Stock to which such holder is entitled pursuant to Section 2.2(b).

(ii) ChannelHealth shall give Parent (A) prompt notice of any written
demands for appraisal of any shares of ChannelHealth Common Stock, withdrawals
of such demands, and any other instruments that relate to such demands received
by ChannelHealth and (B) the opportunity to direct all negotiations and
proceedings with respect to demands for appraisal under the DGCL. ChannelHealth
shall not, except with the prior written consent of Parent, make any payment
with respect to any demands for appraisal of shares of ChannelHealth Common
Stock or offer to settle or settle any such demands.

2.3 Exchange of Certificates.

(a) Exchange Agent. Prior to the Effective Time, Parent, Allscripts and
ChannelHealth shall enter into an agreement with such bank or trust company as
may be designated by Allscripts and ChannelHealth to act as exchange agent for
the purpose of exchanging Certificates for the applicable Merger Consideration
(the "Exchange Agent"). At or prior to the Effective Time, Parent shall deposit
with the Exchange Agent, in trust for the benefit of the holders of shares of
Allscripts Common Stock and ChannelHealth Stock, for exchange in accordance
with this Article II through the Exchange Agent, Parent Certificates
representing the number of whole shares of Parent Common Stock issuable
pursuant to Section 2.1 in exchange for outstanding shares of Allscripts Common
Stock and issuable pursuant to Section 2.2 in exchange for outstanding shares
of ChannelHealth Stock. Parent Certificates deposited with the Exchange Agent
shall hereinafter be referred to as the "Exchange Fund". Parent shall make
available to the Exchange Agent, from time to time as required after the
Effective Time, cash necessary to pay dividends and distributions in accordance
with Section 2.3(c) and to make payments in lieu of any fractional shares in
accordance with Section 2.3(e).

(b) Exchange Procedures. As soon as reasonably practicable after the
Effective Time, Parent shall cause the Exchange Agent to mail to each holder of
record of a Certificate whose shares were converted into the Allscripts Merger
Consideration pursuant to Section 2.1, or the ChannelHealth Merger
Consideration pursuant to Section 2.2 (collectively, the "Merger
Consideration"), (i) a letter of transmittal (which shall specify that delivery
shall be effected, and risk of loss and title to the Certificates shall pass,
only upon delivery of the Certificates to the Exchange Agent and shall be in
such form and have such other provisions as Allscripts and ChannelHealth may
reasonably specify) and (ii) instructions for use in effecting the surrender of
the Certificates

5

in exchange for the applicable Merger Consideration. Upon surrender of a
Certificate for cancellation to the Exchange Agent, together with such letter
of transmittal, duly executed, and such other documents as may reasonably be
required by the Exchange Agent, the holder of such Certificate shall be
entitled to receive in exchange therefor a Parent Certificate representing that
number of whole shares of Parent Common Stock which such holder has the right
to receive pursuant to the provisions of this Article II, certain dividends or
other distributions, if any, in accordance with Section 2.3(c) and cash in lieu
of any fractional share in accordance with Section 2.3(e), and the Certificate
so surrendered shall forthwith be cancelled. In the event of a transfer of
ownership of ChannelHealth Stock that is not registered in the transfer records
of ChannelHealth, or of Allscripts Common Stock that is not registered in the
transfer records of Allscripts, a Parent Certificate representing the proper
number of shares of Parent Common Stock may be issued to a person other than
the person in whose name the Certificate so surrendered is registered if such
Certificate shall be properly endorsed or otherwise be in proper form for
transfer and the person requesting such issuance shall pay any transfer or
other non-income taxes required by reason of the issuance of shares of Parent
Common Stock to a person other than the registered holder of such Certificate
or establish to the satisfaction of Parent that such tax has been paid or is
not applicable. Until surrendered as contemplated by this Section 2.3, each
Certificate shall be deemed at any time after the Effective Time to represent
only the right to receive upon such surrender the applicable Merger
Consideration that the holder thereof has the right to receive pursuant to the
provisions of this Article II, if applicable, certain dividends or other
distributions in accordance with Section 2.3(c) and, if applicable, cash in
lieu of any fractional share in accordance with Section 2.3(e). No interest
will be paid or will accrue on any cash payable to holders of Certificates
pursuant to the provisions of this Article II.

(c) Distributions with Respect to Unexchanged Shares. No dividends or other
distributions with respect to Parent Common Stock with a record date on or
after the Closing Date shall be paid to the holder of any unsurrendered
Certificate with respect to the shares of Parent Common Stock represented
thereby, and no cash payment in lieu of fractional shares shall be paid to any
such holder pursuant to Section 2.3(e), and all such dividends, other
distributions and cash in lieu of fractional shares of Parent Common Stock
shall be paid by Parent to the Exchange Agent and shall be included in the
Exchange Fund, in each case until the surrender of such Certificate in
accordance with this Article II. Subject to the effect of applicable escheat or
similar laws, following surrender of any such Certificate there shall be paid
to the holder of the Parent Certificate representing whole shares of Parent
Common Stock issued in exchange therefor, without interest, (i) at the time of
such surrender, the amount of dividends or other distributions with a record
date on or after the Closing Date theretofore paid with respect to such whole
shares of Parent Common Stock and the amount of any cash payable in lieu of a
fractional share of Parent Common Stock to which such holder is entitled
pursuant to Section 2.3(e) and (ii) at the appropriate payment date, the amount
of dividends or other distributions with a record date on or after the Closing
Date but prior to such surrender and with a payment date subsequent to such
surrender payable with respect to such whole shares of Parent Common Stock.
Parent shall make available to the Exchange Agent cash for these purposes.

(d) No Further Ownership Rights in Allscripts Common Stock or ChannelHealth
Stock. All shares of Parent Common Stock issued, and all cash paid, upon the
surrender for exchange of Certificates in accordance with the terms of this
Article II shall be deemed to have been issued (and paid) in full satisfaction
of all rights pertaining to the shares of Allscripts Common Stock or
ChannelHealth Stock theretofore represented by such Certificates, subject,
however, to the applicable Surviving Corporation's obligation to pay any
dividends or make any other distributions with a record date prior to the
Closing Date that may have been authorized or made by Allscripts on such shares
of Allscripts Common Stock or by ChannelHealth on such shares of ChannelHealth
Stock that remain unpaid at the Effective Time, and there shall be no further
registration of transfers on the stock transfer books of the applicable
Surviving Corporation of the shares of Allscripts Common Stock or ChannelHealth
Stock that were outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time. If, after
the Effective Time, Certificates are presented to the applicable Surviving
Corporation or the Exchange Agent for any reason, they shall be cancelled and
exchanged as provided in this Article II, except as otherwise provided by law.

6

(e) No Fractional Shares.

(i) No Parent Certificates or scrip representing fractional shares of
Parent Common Stock shall be issued upon the surrender for exchange of
Certificates, no dividend or distribution of Parent shall relate to such
fractional share interests and such fractional share interests will not
entitle the owner thereof to vote or to any rights of a stockholder of
Parent.

(ii) The Surviving Corporations shall pay each former holder of
Allscripts Common Stock or ChannelHealth Stock, as applicable, an amount in
cash equal to the product obtained by multiplying (A) the fractional share
interest to which such former holder (after taking into account all shares
of Allscripts Common Stock or ChannelHealth Stock held at the Effective
Time by such holder) would otherwise be entitled by (B) the closing price
for a share of Parent Common Stock as reported on the Nasdaq Stock Market,
Inc. (the "Nasdaq") (as reported in The Wall Street Journal, or, if not
reported thereby, any other authoritative source) on the first trading day
following the Closing Date.

(iii) As soon as practicable after the determination of the amount of
cash, if any, to be paid to holders of Allscripts Common Stock and
ChannelHealth Stock with respect to any fractional share interests, the
Exchange Agent will make available such amounts to such holders of
Allscripts Common Stock and ChannelHealth Common Stock subject to and in
accordance with the terms of Section 2.3(c).

(f) Termination of Exchange Fund. Any portion of the Exchange Fund that
remains undistributed to the holders of the Certificates for six months after
the Effective Time shall be delivered to Parent, upon demand, and any holders
of the Certificates who have not theretofore complied with this Article II
shall thereafter look only to Parent for payment of their claim for the
applicable Merger Consideration, any cash in lieu of fractional shares of
Parent Common Stock and any dividends or distributions with respect to Parent
Common Stock.

(g) No Liability. None of Parent, Allscripts, ChannelHealth or the Exchange
Agent shall be liable to any person in respect of any shares of Parent Common
Stock (or dividends or distributions with respect thereto) or cash from the
Exchange Fund in each case delivered to a public official pursuant to any
applicable abandoned property, escheat or similar law. If any Certificate shall
not have been surrendered prior to seven years after the Effective Time (or
immediately prior to such earlier date on which any Merger Consideration, any
cash payable to the holder of such Certificate pursuant to this Article II or
any dividends or distributions payable to the holder of such Certificate would
otherwise escheat to or become the property of any governmental body or
authority) any such Merger Consideration or cash, dividends or distributions in
respect of such Certificate shall, to the extent permitted by applicable law,
become the property of Parent, free and clear of all claims or interest of any
person previously entitled thereto.

(h) Investment of Exchange Fund. The Exchange Agent shall invest any cash
included in the Exchange Fund, as directed by Parent, on a daily basis. Any
interest and other income resulting from such investments shall be paid to
Parent.

2.4 Lost Certificates. If any Certificate shall have been lost, stolen or
destroyed, upon the making of an affidavit of that fact by the person claiming
such Certificate to be lost, stolen or destroyed and, if required by the
related Surviving Corporation, the posting by such person of a bond in such
reasonable amount as the related Surviving Corporation may direct as indemnity
against any claim that may be made against it with respect to such Certificate,
the Exchange Agent will issue in exchange for such lost, stolen or destroyed
Certificate the applicable Merger Consideration and, if applicable, any cash in
lieu of fractional shares, and unpaid dividends and distributions on shares of
Parent Common Stock deliverable in respect thereof, in each case pursuant to
this Agreement.

2.5 Withholding Rights. Each of the Surviving Corporations and Parent shall
be entitled to deduct and withhold from the consideration otherwise payable
pursuant to this Agreement to any holder of shares of Allscripts Common Stock
or ChannelHealth Stock such amounts as it is required to deduct and withhold
with respect to the making of such payment under the Code and the rules and
regulations promulgated thereunder, or

7

any provision of state, local or foreign Tax law. To the extent that amounts
are so withheld by either of the Surviving Corporations or Parent, as the case
may be, such withheld amounts shall be treated for all purposes of this
Agreement as having been paid to the holder of the shares of Allscripts Common
Stock or ChannelHealth Stock in respect of which such deduction and withholding
was made by either of the Surviving Corporations or Parent, as the case may be.

(i) if the Gross Qualifying Revenues (as defined below) to Parent, or
any Affiliate of Parent from January 1, 2002 to December 31, 2002 (the
"Earnout Revenue") is greater than or equal to $180 million but less than
or equal to $210 million, .03167 additional shares of Parent Common Stock
for each share of ChannelHealth Stock held at the Effective Time (subject
to equitable adjustment in the event of any stock split, stock dividend,
reverse stock split or similar event affecting the Parent Common Stock or
the Allscripts Common Stock between the date of this Agreement and the
Earnout Date);

(ii) if Earnout Revenue is greater than $210 million, .04750 additional
shares of Parent Common Stock for each share of ChannelHealth Stock held at
the Effective Time (subject to equitable adjustment in

9

the event of any stock split, stock dividend, reverse stock split or
similar event affecting the Parent Common Stock or the Allscripts Common
Stock between the date of this Agreement and the Earnout Date);

(iii) if Earnout Revenue is less than $180 million, no additional shares
of Parent Common Stock; or

(iv) if, prior to December 31, 2002, Parent sells, transfers or
otherwise disposes of, or causes any of its Affiliates to sell, transfer or
otherwise dispose of all or substantially all of its business or
intellectual property related to physician-focused, internet based services
that automate clinical, financial and administrative functions involved in
the healthcare delivery process, .04750 additional shares of Parent Common
Stock for each share of ChannelHealth Stock held at the Effective Time
(subject to equitable adjustment in the event of any stock split, stock
dividend, reverse stock split or similar event affecting the Parent Common
Stock or the Allscripts Common Stock between the date of this Agreement and
the Earnout Date).

Any shares of Parent Common Stock issued by Parent pursuant to this Section
3.1(a) are referred to in this Agreement as the "Earnout Shares." Parent shall
issue the Parent Certificates representing the Earnout Shares, if any,
pursuant to this Section 3.1(a) in the name of each ChannelHealth Stockholder
and representing a number of shares of Parent Common Stock equal to such
ChannelHealth Stockholder's percentage interest in the Earnout Shares, which
percentage interests shall be based upon each holder's pro rata interest in
all shares of ChannelHealth Stock issued and outstanding immediately prior to
the Effective Time. No Parent Certificates or scrip representing fractional
shares of Parent Common Stock shall be issued pursuant to this Section 3.1(a),
and in lieu thereof the ChannelHealth Stockholders entitled thereto will be
paid cash for their fractional share interests pursuant to the procedures set
forth in Section 2.3(e). Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, no
ChannelHealth Stockholder shall be entitled to any Earnout Shares in respect
of such ChannelHealth Stockholder's ownership of ChannelHealth Dissenting
Shares.

(b) For the purposes of this Agreement, the following terms shall have the
respective meanings set forth below:

(i) "Gross Qualifying Revenues" means revenues from Qualifying Sales (as
defined below) which are recognized by Parent or any Affiliate of Parent in
accordance with GAAP, prior to any reductions of any kind, including
reductions of commissions paid to IDX.

(ii) "Qualifying Sales" are sales generated from the service lines set
forth on Schedule 3.1(b)(ii), less the commissions payable to IDX set forth
on such Schedule.

(c) Parent will report Gross Qualifying Revenues to the Stockholders'
Representative on a monthly basis during the period from January 1, 2002
through December 31, 2002 not later than 30 days after the end of the month.
After receiving a report from Parent and upon 15 business days written notice,
up to four times per year, the Stockholders' Representative shall have the
right at its expense to have reasonable access, during normal business hours,
to inspect the books and records of Parent and any Affiliate of Parent
relating to Gross Qualifying Revenues for the limited purpose of verifying
Parent's compliance with this Article III. Parent shall make such books and
records available at its offices in Libertyville, Illinois and such books and
records shall be made available in the manner which they are regularly
maintained by Parent. In addition, at the request of the Stockholders'
Representative in accordance with this Section 3.1(c), Parent shall also make
photocopies of such books and records available at IDX's primary Vermont
office for inspection by the Stockholders' Representative.

(d) Following receipt from Parent of the final report of Gross Qualifying
Revenues as provided in Section 3.1(c), the Stockholders' Representative shall
have a period of 20 days after delivery to present in writing to Parent any
objections thereto, which objections shall be set forth in reasonable detail.
If no objections are raised within such 20-day period, the report shall be
deemed accepted and approved by the Stockholders' Representative. However, in
the event of a dispute, the parties shall follow the procedures set forth in
Sections 5.1(c) and 5.1(e).

10

3.2 Registration of Earnout Shares. If any Earnout Shares are issued
pursuant to Section 3.1, Parent shall file with the Commission, within five
business days following the Earnout Date, a non-exclusive "shelf" registration
statement pursuant to Rule 415 under the Securities Act covering the resale to
the public by the holders of all of the Earnout Shares on a continuous basis
(the "Earnout Registration Statement"). The Earnout Registration Statement
will be on Form S-3 unless Parent ceases to be eligible to register the
Earnout Shares for resale on such Form, in which case such registration will
be on another appropriate form in accordance herewith. Parent shall use its
best efforts to cause the Earnout Registration Statement to be declared
effective by the Commission as soon as practicable after the filing thereof.
Parent shall cause the Earnout Registration Statement to remain effective
until the second anniversary of the filing thereof or such earlier time as all
of the Earnout Shares covered by the Earnout Registration Statement have been
sold pursuant thereto.

3.3 Registration Procedures. In connection with Parent's registration
obligations hereunder, Parent will:

(a) Not less than two business days prior to the filing of the Earnout
Registration Statement, or any related prospectus or amendment or supplement
thereto (but excluding any documents incorporated or deemed to be incorporated
by reference), furnish to each ChannelHealth Stockholder and its counsel
copies of all such documents proposed to be filed, which documents (other than
those incorporated or deemed to be incorporated by reference) will be subject
to the review of each ChannelHealth Stockholder and its counsel. Parent will
in good faith seek to address any questions or issues raised by any
ChannelHealth Stockholder or its counsel as a result of such review.

(b) (i) Prepare and file with the Commission such amendments, including
post-effective amendments, as may be necessary to keep the Earnout

Shares; (ii) cause the prospectus included therein to be amended or
supplemented as required; (iii) promptly provide each ChannelHealth
Stockholder and its counsel with copies of all correspondence from and to the
Commission relating to the Earnout Registration Statement; and (iv) comply in
all material respects with the provisions of the Securities Act and the

of the Earnout Registration Statement or any post-effective amendment; (iii)

Commission of any stop order suspending the effectiveness of the Earnout
Registration Statement or the initiation of any proceedings for that purpose;
(v) of the receipt by Parent of any notification with respect to the
suspension of the qualification or exemption from qualification of any of the
Earnout Shares for sale in any jurisdiction, or the initiation or threatening
of any proceeding for such purpose; and (vi) of the occurrence of any event
that makes any statement made in the Earnout Registration Statement or
prospectus or any document incorporated or deemed to be incorporated therein
by reference untrue in any material respect or that requires any revisions to
the Earnout Registration Statement, prospectus or other documents so that such
document will not contain any untrue statement of a material fact or omit to
state any material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the
statements therein, in light of the circumstances under which they were made,
not misleading.

(d) Furnish to each ChannelHealth Stockholder and its counsel without
charge (i) at least one conformed copy of each Earnout Registration Statement
and amendment thereto, including financial statements and schedules, all
documents incorporated or deemed to be incorporated therein by reference, and
all exhibits to the extent requested reasonably promptly after the filing of
such documents with the Commission, and (ii) as many copies of the prospectus
or prospectuses (including each form of prospectus) and each amendment or
supplement thereto as such Persons may reasonably request; and Parent hereby
consents to the use of such prospectus and each amendment or supplement
thereto by the ChannelHealth Stockholders and any underwriters in connection
with the offering and sale of the Earnout Shares covered by such prospectus
and any amendment or supplement thereto.

11

(e) Use its best efforts to register or qualify the Earnout Shares covered
by the Earnout Registration Statement under the securities laws of each
jurisdiction as any ChannelHealth Stockholder may reasonably request; provided,
however that Parent will not be required in connection with this paragraph (e)
to qualify as a foreign corporation or execute a general consent to service of
process in any jurisdiction.

(f) If Parent has delivered preliminary or final prospectuses to the
ChannelHealth Stockholders and after having done so the prospectus is amended
to comply with the requirements of the Securities Act, promptly notify each
ChannelHealth Stockholder and promptly provide each ChannelHealth Stockholder
with revised or supplemented prospectuses.

(g) Pay the following expenses incurred in complying with Sections 3.2 and
3.3: all registration and filing fees, exchange listing fees, fees and expenses
of counsel for Parent, and fees and expenses of accountants for Parent, but
excluding any brokerage fees, selling commissions or underwriting discounts and
legal fees incurred by each ChannelHealth Stockholder in connection with sales
under the Earnout Registration Statement.

3.4 Requirements of ChannelHealth Stockholders. Each ChannelHealth
Stockholder shall furnish to Parent in writing such information regarding such
ChannelHealth Stockholder and the proposed sale of Earnout Shares by such
ChannelHealth Stockholder as is required by law to be disclosed in the Earnout
Registration Statement.

3.5 Indemnification and Contribution.

(a) Indemnification by Parent. Parent will indemnify and hold harmless each
ChannelHealth Stockholder, its agents (including any underwriters retained by
such ChannelHealth Stockholder in connection with the offer and sale of Earnout
Shares) and any directors, officers and employees of any such Person, each
Person who controls any such Person (within the meaning of Section 15 of the
Securities Act or Section 20 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended
(the "Exchange Act") and the directors, officers, agents and employees of each
such controlling Person, to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law,
from and against any and all debts, obligations and other liabilities, monetary
damages, fines, fees, penalties, interest obligations, deficiencies, losses,
costs and expenses (including without limitation reasonable attorneys' fee and
expenses) (collectively, "Damages") arising out of or relating to any untrue or
alleged untrue statement of a material fact contained in the Earnout
Registration Statement, any prospectus or any form of prospectus or in any
amendment or supplement thereto or in any preliminary prospectus, or arising
out of or relating to any omission or alleged omission of a material fact
required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein (in
the case of any prospectus or form of prospectus or supplement thereto, in
light of the circumstances under which they were made) not misleading, except
to the extent, but only to the extent, that such untrue statements or omissions
are based solely upon information regarding such ChannelHealth Stockholder
furnished in writing to Parent by such ChannelHealth Stockholder expressly for
use therein or by such ChannelHealth Stockholder's failure to deliver a copy of
the Earnout Registration Statement or prospectus or amendment or supplement
thereto. Parent will notify each ChannelHealth Stockholder promptly of the
institution, threat or assertion of any proceeding of which Parent is aware in
connection with the subject matter of this Section 3.5.

(b) Indemnification by the ChannelHealth Stockholders. Each ChannelHealth
Stockholder will indemnify and hold harmless Parent, the directors, officers,
agents and employees of Parent, each person who controls Parent (within the
meaning of Section 15 of the Securities Act or Section 20 of the Exchange Act),
and the directors, officers, agents and employees of each such controlling
Person, to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, from and against any
and all Damages arising solely out of or relating solely to any untrue or
alleged untrue statement of a material fact contained in the Earnout
Registration Statement, any prospectus or any form of prospectus or in any
amendment or supplement thereto or in any preliminary prospectus, or arising
solely out of or relating solely to any omission or alleged omission of a
material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements
therein (in the case of any prospectus or form of prospectus or supplement
thereto, in light of the circumstances under which they were made) not
misleading, to the extent, but only to the extent, that such untrue statement
or omission is contained in any information regarding such

12

ChannelHealth Stockholder so furnished in writing by such ChannelHealth
Stockholder to Parent specifically for inclusion in the Earnout Registration
Statement or such prospectus. In no event will the liability of any
ChannelHealth Stockholder hereunder be greater in amount than the net proceeds
actually received by such ChannelHealth Stockholder from the sale of Earnout
Shares pursuant to the Earnout Registration Statement. Each ChannelHealth
Stockholder will notify Parent promptly of the institution, threat or assertion
of any proceeding of which such ChannelHealth Stockholder is aware in
connection with the subject matter of this Section 3.5.

(c) Conduct of Indemnification Proceedings. A party entitled, or seeking to
assert rights, to indemnification under this Section 3.5 (an "Indemnified
Party") shall give written notification to the party from whom indemnification
is sought (an "Indemnifying Party") of the commencement of any action, suit or
proceeding relating to a third-party claim for which indemnification pursuant
to this Section 3.5 may be sought or, if earlier, upon the assertion of any
such claim by a third party. Such notification shall be given within 20 days
after receipt by the Indemnified Party of notice of such action, suit,
proceeding or claim, and shall describe (to the extent known by the Indemnified
Party) the facts constituting the basis for such action, suit, proceeding or
claim and the amount of the claimed damages; provided, however, that no delay
on the part of the Indemnified Party in notifying the Indemnifying Party shall
relieve the Indemnifying Party of any liability or obligation hereunder except
to the extent the Indemnifying Party thereby is prejudiced. Within 30 days
after delivery of such notification, the Indemnifying Party may, upon written
notice thereof to the Indemnified Party, assume control of the defense of such
action, suit, proceeding or claim with counsel reasonably satisfactory to the
Indemnified Party. If the Indemnifying Party does not so assume control of such
defense, the Indemnified Party shall control such defense. The Party not
controlling such defense (the "Non-controlling Party") may participate therein
at its own expense; provided that if the Indemnifying Party assumes control of
such defense and the Indemnified Party reasonably concludes, based on advice
from counsel, that the Indemnifying Party and the Indemnified Party have
conflicting interests with respect to such action, suit, proceeding or claim,
the reasonable fees and expenses of counsel to the Indemnified Party shall be
considered "Damages" for purposes of this Agreement; provided, however, that in
no event shall the Indemnifying Party be responsible for the fees and expenses
of more than one counsel per jurisdiction for all Indemnified Parties. The
Party controlling such defense (the "Controlling Party") shall keep the Non-
controlling Party advised of the status of such action, suit, proceeding or
claim and the defense thereof and shall consider recommendations made by the
Non-controlling Party with respect thereto. The Non-controlling Party shall
furnish the Controlling Party with such information as it may have with respect
to such action, suit, proceeding or claim (including copies of any summons,
complaint or other pleading which may have been served on such party and any
written claim, demand, invoice, billing or other document evidencing or
asserting the same) and shall otherwise cooperate with and assist the
Controlling Party in the defense of such action, suit, proceeding or claim. The
Indemnifying Party shall not agree to any settlement of, or the entry of any
judgment arising from, any such action, suit, proceeding or claim that does not
include a complete release of the Indemnified Party from all liability with
respect thereto or that imposes any liability or obligation on the Indemnified
Party without the prior written consent of the Indemnified Party, which shall
not be unreasonably withheld or delayed. The Indemnified Party shall not agree
to any settlement of, or the entry of any judgment arising from, any such
action, suit, proceeding or claim without the prior written consent of the
Indemnifying Party.

(d) Contribution. If a claim for indemnification under Section 3.5(a) or
3.5(b) is unavailable to an Indemnified Party because of a failure or refusal
of a governmental authority to enforce such indemnification in accordance with
its terms (by reason of public policy or otherwise), then each Indemnifying
Party, in lieu of indemnifying such Indemnified Party, shall contribute to the
amount paid or payable by such Indemnified Party as a result of such losses, in
such proportion as is appropriate to reflect the relative fault of the
Indemnifying Party and Indemnified Party in connection with the actions,
statements or omissions that resulted in such losses as well as any other
relevant equitable considerations. The relative fault of such Indemnifying
Party and Indemnified Party shall be determined by reference to, among other
things, whether any action in question, including any untrue or alleged untrue
statement of a material fact or omission or alleged omission of a material
fact, has been taken or made by, or relates to information supplied by, such
Indemnifying Party or

13

Indemnified Party, and the parties' relative intent, knowledge, access to
information and opportunity to correct or prevent such action, statement or
omission. The amount paid or payable by a party as a result of any losses shall
be deemed to include any reasonable attorneys' or other reasonable fees or
expenses incurred by such party in connection with any proceeding to the extent
such party would have been indemnified for such fees or expenses if the
indemnification provided for in this Section 3.5 was available to such party in
accordance with its terms.

The Parties hereto agree that it would not be just and equitable if
contribution pursuant to this Section 3.5(d) were determined by pro rata
allocation or by any other method of allocation that does not take into account
the equitable considerations referred to in the immediately preceding
paragraph. Notwithstanding the provisions of this Section 3.5(d), no
ChannelHealth Stockholder shall be required to contribute any amount in excess
of the amount by which the net proceeds actually received by such ChannelHealth
Stockholder from the sale of Earnout Shares pursuant to the Earnout
Registration Statement exceeds the amount of any damages that such
ChannelHealth Stockholder has otherwise been required to pay by reason of such
untrue or alleged untrue statement or omission or alleged omission. No person
guilty of fraudulent misrepresentation (within the meaning of Section 11(f) of
the Securities Act) shall be entitled to contribution from any person who was
not guilty of such fraudulent misrepresentation.

(e) the indemnity and contribution agreements contained in this Section 3.5
are in addition to any liability that the Indemnifying Parties may have to the
Indemnified Parties.

3.6 Registrations on behalf of Other Holders. Parent may, at its election,
include securities of other holders of Parent's securities in the Earnout
Registration Statement.

3.7 Assignment of Rights. No ChannelHealth Stockholder may assign any of its
rights under Section 3.2 through 3.7 except in connection with the transfer of
some or all of its Earnout Shares to a child or spouse, or trust or other
entity for their benefit; provided, however, each such transferee agrees in a
written instrument delivered to Parent to be bound by the provisions of Section
3.2 through 3.7. Any such permitted transferee shall be deemed to be a
"ChannelHealth Stockholder" for purposes of Section 3.2 through 3.7

3.8 Blackouts. Anything in this Agreement to the contrary notwithstanding,
it is understood and agreed that Parent shall not be required to keep any
Earnout Registration Statement effective or useable for offers and sales of the
Earnout Shares, file a post effective amendment to an Earnout Registration
Statement or any prospectus supplement or to supplement or amend any Earnout
Registration Statement, if Parent is then involved in discussions concerning,
or otherwise engaged in, any material financing, offering or investment,
acquisition or divestiture transaction or other material business purpose if
Parent determines in good faith that the making of such a filing, supplement or
amendment at such time would interfere with such transaction or purpose. Parent
shall promptly give the holders of Earnout Shares written notice of such
postponement containing a general statement of the reasons for such
postponement and an approximation of the anticipated delay. Upon receipt by a
holder of Earnout Shares of notice of an event of the kind described in this
Section 3.8, such holder shall forthwith discontinue such holder's disposition
of Earnout Shares until such holder's receipt of notice from Parent that such
disposition may continue and of any supplemented or amended prospectus
indicated in such notice. Parent shall use its reasonable efforts to permit
sales of Earnout Shares on such shelf registration statement for at least 180
days during any 360-day period.

ARTICLE IV

Retention of Assets

4.1 Assets Retained by IDX. Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to
the contrary, it is specifically understood and agreed that the assets of
ChannelHealth identified on Schedule 4.1 hereto shall be assigned, sold,
conveyed, transferred and delivered by ChannelHealth to IDX on or before the
Closing Date as contemplated by the ChannelHealth/IDX Asset Purchase Agreement
and shall not be included in the properties or assets of ChannelHealth acquired
by Parent through the ChannelHealth Merger (the "Retained Assets").

14

ARTICLE V

Accrued Liabilities Adjustment

5.1 Adjustment to ChannelHealth Cash Reserves.

(a) As soon as practicable following the Closing Date and in any event
within 60 days of the Closing Date, Parent shall cause the ChannelHealth
Surviving Corporation to prepare and deliver to Parent and the Stockholders'
Representative a balance sheet of ChannelHealth as at the close of business on
the Closing Date (the "Closing Date Balance Sheet"). The Closing Date Balance
Sheet shall be audited and certified by Ernst & Young LLP, ChannelHealth's
regular independent certified public accountants ("ChannelHealth's
Accountants"), shall be based upon the books and records of ChannelHealth,
shall be prepared in accordance with GAAP applied on a basis consistent with
that of the preceding fiscal year, and shall present fairly the financial
position of ChannelHealth as at the Closing Date. All accruals as at the
Closing Date which, in accordance with GAAP applied on a basis consistent with
ChannelHealth's practice of the preceding fiscal year, should be reflected on a
balance sheet, shall be reflected on the Closing Date Balance Sheet, including,
without limitation, with respect to such items as employee bonuses, profit-
sharing plan contributions and promotional expenses. Allscripts's regular
independent public accountants, PricewaterhouseCoopers LLP ("Allscripts's
Accountants") and the Stockholders' Representative's regular independent public
accountants, Ernst & Young LLP (the "Stockholders' Representative's
Accountants"), shall each have the opportunity to observe the taking of
inventories in connection with the preparation of the Closing Date Balance
Sheet, to consult with and to examine the work papers, schedules and other
documents prepared or reviewed by ChannelHealth's Accountants in connection
with the preparation of their report and of the Accrued Liabilities Certificate
referred to in Section 5.1(b).

(b) "Accrued Liabilities" shall be the accounts payable, other current
liabilities and accrued liabilities of ChannelHealth as reflected on the
Closing Date Balance Sheet; provided, however, the Closing Date Balance Sheet
shall not include accrued liabilities relating to Taxes for which IDX is
indemnifying Allscripts pursuant to Article XI.

The calculation of Accrued Liabilities shall be made by ChannelHealth's
Accountants, who shall render a certificate (the "Accrued Liabilities
Certificate") showing such calculation and stating that such calculation has
been made in accordance with the provisions of this Article V. The Accrued
Liabilities Certificate shall be delivered to Parent and IDX as soon as
practicable following the Closing Date but in no event later than 90 days
thereafter.

(c) Each of Parent and IDX shall have a period of 20 days after delivery of
Accrued Liabilities Certificate to present in writing to ChannelHealth's
Accountants (with a copy to the other party) any objections Parent or IDX, as
the case may be, may have to any of the matters set forth therein, which
objections shall be set forth in reasonable detail. If no objections are raised
within such 20-day period, the Accrued Liabilities Certificate shall be deemed
accepted and approved by Parent and by IDX, and appropriate payment shall be
made as contemplated by Section 5.2(d)

If IDX shall raise any objections within such 20-day period, ChannelHealth's
Accountants and Parent's Accountants shall attempt to resolve the matter or
matters in dispute and, if resolved, such firms shall send a joint notice to
Parent and IDX stating the manner in which the dispute was resolved,
ChannelHealth's Accountants shall send to Parent and IDX a confirmation of the
original Accrued Liabilities Certificate or, if necessary, a revised Accrued
Liabilities Certificate prepared in accordance with such resolution, and
Parent's Accountants shall send a letter to Parent and IDX confirming that such
confirmed or revised Accrued Liabilities Certificate is in accordance with such
resolution, whereupon the confirmed or revised Accrued Liabilities Certificate
shall be final and binding on the parties hereto and payment shall be made as
contemplated by Section 5.2(d) within five business days following the receipt
of such documents by IDX and Allscripts.

If such dispute cannot be resolved by Parent and IDX or by such accounting
firms within 40 days after the delivery of the Accrued Liabilities Certificate,
then the specific matters in dispute shall be submitted to Arthur

15

Andersen LLP, or, if such firm declines to act in such capacity, such other
firm of independent public accountants mutually acceptable to Parent and IDX,
which firm shall make a final and binding determination as to such matter or
matters. Arthur Andersen LLP or such other accounting firm shall send its
written determination to Parent, IDX, ChannelHealth's Accountants and Parent's
Accountants. ChannelHealth's Accountants shall then send to Parent and IDX a
confirmation of the original Accrued Liabilities Certificate or, if necessary,
a revised Accrued Liabilities Certificate prepared in accordance with such
determination, and Parent's Accountants shall send a letter to Parent and IDX
confirming that such confirmed or revised Accrued Liabilities Certificate is in
accordance with such determination, whereupon the confirmed or revised Accrued
Liabilities Certificate shall be binding on the parties hereto and payment
shall be made as contemplated by Section 5.2(d) within five business days
following the receipt of such documents by Parent and IDX.

The parties agree to cooperate with each other and each other's authorized
representatives and with Arthur Andersen LLP or any other accounting firm
selected by Parent and IDX in order that any and all matters in dispute shall
be resolved as soon as practicable and that a final determination of the
Accrued Liabilities shall be made.

(d) If the amount of the Accrued Liabilities shall exceed Cash Reserves (as
defined below) of ChannelHealth as reflected on the Closing Date Balance Sheet,
IDX shall pay to Parent, by the delivery to Parent of a certified or bank
cashier's check in New York Clearing House funds, payable to the order of
Parent or, at Parent's option, by wire transfer of immediately available funds
to an account designated by Parent, the amount of such excess. For purposes of
this Agreement, "Cash Reserves" shall mean cash and cash equivalents as
reflected on the Closing Date Balance Sheet.

(e) The fees and expenses hereunder of ChannelHealth's Accountants shall be
paid by IDX, those of Parent's Accountants shall be paid by Parent and those of
Arthur Andersen LLP or any other accounting firm selected by Parent and IDX
pursuant to Section 5.1(c) above shall be paid one-half by Parent and one-half
by IDX.

5.2 Termination of Agreement. This Agreement may be terminated prior to the
Closing as follows:

(a) At the election of IDX or Allscripts on or after December 31, 2000, if
the Closing shall not have occurred by the close of business on such date,
provided that the terminating party is not in default of any of its obligations
hereunder;

(b) by mutual written consent of IDX and Allscripts; or

(c) by IDX or Allscripts if there shall be in effect a final Order of a
Governmental Body of competent jurisdiction restraining, enjoining or otherwise
prohibiting the consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby.

5.3 Procedure Upon Termination. In the event of termination by Allscripts or
IDX, or both, pursuant to Section 5.2 hereof, written notice thereof shall
forthwith be given to the other party or parties, and this Agreement shall
terminate, and the Mergers contemplated hereunder shall be abandoned, without
further action by Allscripts, IDX or any other party hereto. If this Agreement
is terminated as provided herein each party shall redeliver all documents, work
papers and other material of any other party relating to the transactions
contemplated hereby, whether so obtained before or after the execution hereof,
to the party furnishing the same.

5.4 Effect of Termination. In the event that this Agreement is validly
terminated as provided herein, then each of the parties shall be relieved of
their duties and obligations arising under this Agreement after the date of
such termination and such termination shall be without liability to any such
party; provided, however, that the obligations of the parties set forth in
Section 12.3 hereof and in the Non-Disclosure and Non-Use Agreement dated April
26, 2000 between IDX and Allscripts shall survive any such termination and
shall be enforceable hereunder; provided, further, however, that nothing in
this Section 5.4 shall relieve any party hereto of any liability for a breach
of this Agreement.

clinical applications and devices or any related business. If, after the

the breach of any covenant or other agreement on the part of Allscripts or
Parent under this Agreement;

(iv) any and all Losses attributable to or resulting from any default by
the ChannelHealth Surviving Corporation under, or any breach by the

Allscripts nor the ChannelHealth Surviving Corporation shall have any
liability under this Section 11.1(b)(iv) for any such breach to the extent
such breach is attributable to the gross negligence or willful misconduct
of IDX or any of its Affiliates after the Closing Date; and

(v) any and all Expenses incident to the foregoing.

11.2 Non-Tax Indemnification Procedures.

(a) In the event that any Legal Proceedings shall be instituted or that any
claim or demand ("Claim") shall be asserted by any Person in respect of which
payment may be sought under Section 11.1 hereof, the indemnified party shall
reasonably and promptly cause written notice of the assertion of any Claim of
which it has knowledge which is covered by this indemnity to be forwarded to
the indemnifying party. The indemnifying party shall have the right, at its
sole option and expense, to be represented by counsel of its choice, which must
be reasonably satisfactory to the indemnified party, and to defend against,
negotiate, settle or otherwise deal with any Claim which relates to any Losses
indemnified against hereunder. If the indemnifying party elects to defend
against, negotiate, settle or otherwise deal with any Claim which relates to
any Losses indemnified against hereunder, it shall within five days (or sooner,
if the nature of the Claim so requires) notify the indemnified party of its
intent to do so. If the indemnifying party elects not to defend against,
negotiate, settle or otherwise deal with any Claim which relates to any Losses
indemnified against hereunder, fails to notify the indemnified party of its
election as herein provided or contests its obligation to indemnify the
indemnified party for such Losses under this Agreement, the indemnified party
may defend against, negotiate, settle or otherwise deal with such Claim. If the
indemnified party defends any Claim, then the indemnifying party shall
reimburse the indemnified party for the Expenses of defending such Claim upon
submission of periodic bills. If the indemnifying party shall assume the
defense of any Claim, the indemnified party may participate, at his or its own
expense, in the defense of such Claim; provided, however, that such indemnified
party shall be entitled to participate in any such defense with separate
counsel at the expense of the

44

indemnifying party if, so requested by the indemnifying party to participate or
(ii) in the reasonable opinion of counsel to the indemnified party, a conflict
or potential conflict exists between the indemnified party and the indemnifying
party that would make such separate representation advisable; and provided,
further, that the indemnifying party shall not be required to pay for more than
one such counsel for all indemnified parties in connection with any Claim. The
parties hereto agree to cooperate fully with each other in connection with the
defense, negotiation or settlement of any such Claim. The indemnified party
shall not agree to such settlement of any such Legal Proceeding or Claim
without the prior written consent of the indemnifying party. The indemnifying
party shall have full discretion to agree to any settlement of any such Legal
Proceeding or Claim; provided, however, that the indemnifying party may not
agree to any settlement of such Legal Proceeding or Claim that does not include
a release of the indemnified party from all liability with respect thereto
without the prior written consent of the indemnified party, which consent shall
not be unreasonably withheld or delayed.

(b) After any final judgment or award shall have been rendered by a court,
arbitration board or administrative agency of competent jurisdiction and the
expiration of the time in which to appeal therefrom, or a settlement shall have
been consummated, or the indemnified party and the indemnifying party shall
have arrived at a mutually binding agreement with respect to a Claim hereunder,
the indemnified party shall forward to the indemnifying party notice of any
sums due and owing by the indemnifying party pursuant to this Agreement with
respect to such matter and the indemnifying party shall be required to pay all
of the sums so due and owing to the indemnified party by wire transfer of
immediately available funds within 10 business days after the date of such
notice.

(c) Notwithstanding the foregoing, IDX shall continue to defend the Claim
comprising the ChannelHealth Litigation until such Claim is disposed of as
described in Section 11.2(b).

(d) The failure of the indemnified party to give reasonably prompt notice of
any Claim shall not release, waive or otherwise affect the indemnifying party's
obligations with respect thereto except to the extent that the indemnifying
party can demonstrate actual loss and prejudice as a result of such failure.

11.3 Tax Matters.

(a) Tax Indemnification. IDX agrees to be responsible for and to indemnify
and hold the Allscripts Indemnified Parties harmless from and against any and
all Taxes that may be imposed upon or assessed against ChannelHealth or the
assets thereof:

(A) with respect to all taxable periods ending on or prior to the
Closing Date;

(B) with respect to any and all Taxes of ChannelHealth for the period
allocated to IDX pursuant to Section 11.3(b)(iv);

(C) arising by reason of any breach by ChannelHealth or any inaccuracy
of any of the representations contained in Section 6.10 hereof;

(D) by reason of being a successor-in-interest or transferee of another
entity;

(E) with respect to any and all Taxes of any member of a consolidated,
combined or unitary group of which ChannelHealth (or any predecessor) is or
was a member on or prior to the Closing Date, by reason of the liability of
ChannelHealth pursuant to Treasury Regulation Section 1.1502-6(a) or any
analogous or similar state, local or foreign Law or regulation; and

(F) by reason of the transactions contemplated by Article IV hereof.

IDX shall also pay and shall indemnify and hold harmless the Allscripts
Indemnified Parties from and against any losses, damages, liabilities,
obligations, deficiencies, costs and expenses (including, without limitation,
reasonable expenses and fees for attorneys and accountants) ("Related Costs")
incurred in connection with the Taxes for which IDX is responsible to indemnify
the Allscripts Indemnified Parties pursuant to this Section 11.3(a) (or any
asserted deficiency, claim, demand, action, suit, proceeding, judgment or
assessment, including the defense or settlement thereof, relating to such
Taxes) or the enforcement of this Section 11.3(a).

45

(b) Preparation of Tax Returns; Payment of Taxes.

(i) IDX shall (A) include ChannelHealth and (where applicable) any of
its Subsidiaries in (1) the U.S. consolidated federal income Tax Returns of
IDX required to be filed after the date hereof for all taxable periods
ending on or before the Closing Date and (2) where applicable, all combined
consolidated or unitary Tax Returns that are required to be filed by IDX
for any taxable period ending on or before the Closing Date and (B) cause
ChannelHealth to file all Tax Returns required to be filed by ChannelHealth
on or prior to the Closing Date. IDX shall pay any and all Taxes due with
respect to such Tax Returns. All Tax Returns described in this Section
11.3(b)(i) shall be prepared in a manner consistent with prior practice
unless a past practice has been finally determined to be incorrect by the
applicable taxing authority or a contrary treatment is required by
applicable tax Laws (or judicial or administrative interpretations
thereof). IDX shall cause ChannelHealth to provide Allscripts with copies
of such completed Tax Returns at least 10 days prior to the filing date,
and Allscripts shall be provided an opportunity to review such Tax Returns
and supporting workpapers and Schedules prior to the filing of such Tax
Returns. The failure of Allscripts to propose any changes to any such Tax
Return within such 10 days shall be deemed to be an indication of its
approval thereof. IDX and Allscripts shall attempt in good faith mutually
to resolve any disagreements regarding such Tax Returns prior to the due
date for filing thereof. Any disagreements regarding such Tax Returns which
are not resolved prior to the filing thereof shall be promptly resolved
pursuant to Section 11.3(f) which shall be binding on the parties.

(ii) Following the Closing, Allscripts shall be responsible for
preparing or causing to be prepared all federal, foreign, state and local
Tax Returns required to be filed by ChannelHealth after the Closing Date.

(iii) Not later than five days before the due date for payment of Taxes
with respect to any Tax Returns which Allscripts has the responsibility to
file, IDX shall pay to Allscripts an amount equal to that portion of the
Taxes shown on such return for which IDX has an obligation to indemnify
Allscripts and its Affiliates pursuant to the provisions of Section
11.3(a).

(iv) For federal income Tax purposes, the taxable year of ChannelHealth
shall end as of the close of the Closing Date and, with respect to all
other Taxes, IDX and Allscripts will, unless prohibited by applicable law,
close the taxable period of ChannelHealth as of the close of the Closing
Date. Neither IDX nor Allscripts shall take any position inconsistent with
the preceding sentence on any Tax Return. In any case where applicable law
does not permit ChannelHealth to close its taxable year on the Closing Date
or in any case in which a Tax is assessed with respect to a taxable period
which includes the Closing Date (but does not begin or end on that day),
then Taxes, if any, attributable to the taxable period of ChannelHealth
beginning before and ending after the Closing Date shall be allocated (i)
to IDX for the period up to and including the Closing Date, and (ii) to
Allscripts for the period subsequent to the Closing Date. Any allocation of
income or deductions required to determine any Taxes attributable to any
period beginning before and ending after the Closing Date shall be prepared
by Allscripts and shall be made by means of a closing of the books and
records of ChannelHealth as of the close of the Closing Date, provided that
exemptions, allowances or deductions that are calculated on an annual basis
(including, but not limited to, depreciation and amortization deductions)
shall be allocated between the period ending on the Closing Date and the
period after the Closing Date in proportion to the number of days in each
such period. Allscripts shall provide IDX with a schedule showing the
computation of the allocation at least 30 days prior to the due date for
filing a Tax Return which includes the Closing Date. IDX shall have the
right to review such schedule, and Allscripts and IDX shall attempt in good
faith mutually to resolve any disagreements regarding the determination of
such allocation. Any disagreements regarding such determination shall be
resolved pursuant to Section 11.3(f). Any amount owing from IDX under this
Section 11.3(b)(iv) shall be paid no later than five days prior to the
filing of the underlying Tax Return.

(v) With respect to any Tax Returns required to be filed by Allscripts
with respect to any taxable period of ChannelHealth ending on or before the
Closing Date, Allscripts shall provide IDX with a copy of such completed
Tax Returns at least 10 days prior to the due date for filing of such Tax
Returns. IDX shall have the right to review such Tax Returns, and
Allscripts and IDX shall attempt in good faith

46

mutually to resolve any disagreements regarding the preparation thereof
prior to filing thereof. The failure of IDX to propose any changes to any
such Tax Return within such 10 days shall be deemed to be an indication of
its approval thereof. Any disagreements regarding such determination shall
be resolved pursuant to Section 11.3(f). If such disagreement cannot be
resolved prior to the due date for filing such Tax Return, Allscripts may
cause such Tax Return to be filed in the manner proposed by Allscripts,
without prejudice to IDX's right to pursue a final resolution of such
disagreement. Any amount owing from IDX under this Section 11.3(b)(v) shall
be paid no later than five days prior to the filing of the underlying Tax
Return.

(c) Cooperation with Respect to Tax Returns. Allscripts and IDX agree to
furnish or cause to be furnished to each other, and each at their own expense,
as promptly as practicable, such information (including access to books and
records) and assistance, including making employees available on a mutually
convenient basis to provide additional information and explanations of any
material provided, relating to ChannelHealth as is reasonably necessary for the
filing of any Tax Return, for the preparation for any audit, and for the
prosecution or defense of any claim, suit or proceeding relating to any
adjustment or proposed adjustment with respect to Taxes. Allscripts or
ChannelHealth shall retain in its possession, and shall provide IDX reasonable
access to (including the right to make copies of), such supporting books and
records and any other materials that IDX may specify with respect to Tax
matters relating to any taxable period ending on or prior to the Closing Date
until the relevant statute of limitations has expired. After such time,
Allscripts may dispose of such material, provided that prior to such
disposition Allscripts shall give IDX a reasonable opportunity to take
possession of such materials.

(d) Carrybacks. IDX shall pay to Allscripts the amount of any Tax benefit
(including interest thereon) realized by IDX or any Affiliate thereof as a
result of the carryback of any Tax loss, deduction or credit of ChannelHealth
from any taxable period beginning after the Closing Date to a taxable period
ending on or before the Closing Date. IDX shall pay such amount to Allscripts
within 10 business days after such Tax benefit is realized by IDX or any
Affiliate of it as a refund or otherwise, provided that Allscripts shall return
to IDX the amount, if any, by which the amount of such Tax benefit is
thereafter reduced pursuant to a final determination.

(e) Transfer Taxes. IDX shall be liable for and shall pay (and shall
indemnify and hold harmless Allscripts against) all sales, use, stamp,
documentary, filing, recording, transfer or similar fees or Taxes or
governmental charges (including, without limitation, real property transfer
gains Taxes, UCC-3 filing fees, FAA, ICC, DOT, real estate and motor vehicle
registration, title recording or filing fees and other amounts payable in
respect of transfer filings) as levied by any taxing authority or governmental
agency in connection with the transactions contemplated by this Agreement
(other than Taxes measured by or with respect to income imposed on Allscripts
or its Affiliates). IDX hereby agree to file all necessary Documents
(including, but not limited to, all Tax Returns) with respect to all such
amounts in a timely manner.

(f) Dispute Resolution. Any dispute as to any matter covered hereby shall be
resolved by an independent accounting firm mutually acceptable to IDX and
Allscripts. The fees and expenses of such accounting firm shall be borne
equally by IDX and Allscripts.

(g) Sole Remedy. The indemnification provided for in this Section 11.3 shall
be the sole remedy for any claim in respect of Taxes and the provisions of
Sections 11.1 through 11.2 hereof shall not apply to such claims.

(h) Survival. Any claim for indemnity under this Section 11.3 may be made at
any time prior to 60 days after the expiration of the applicable Tax statute of
limitations with respect to the relevant taxable period (including all periods
of extension, whether automatic of permissive).

(i) Certain Representations. Each of Parent and Allscripts has no present
intention to merge or liquidate Parent or Allscripts with or into another
Person or transfer any of the assets thereof other than in the ordinary

47

course of business or, in the case of Allscripts, other than pursuant to a
transaction described in Section 368(a)(2)(C) of the Code or Treasury
Regulation Sections 1.368-2(f) or 1.368-2(k). As of the date of consummation of
the Mergers, Parent and Allscripts have no plan or intention to engage in a
transaction that (i) would be an Integrated Transaction (as defined in Section
8.20 hereof) and (ii) would cause the stockholders of Allscripts and the
ChannelHealth Stockholders immediately before the Mergers and any Integrated
Transferors (as defined in Section 8.20 hereof) not to be in control (within
the meaning of Section 368(c) of the Code) of Parent immediately after the
Mergers.

(j) Plan of Reorganization This Agreement and the transactions contemplated
hereby are intended to constitute a "plan of reorganization" within the meaning
of Treasury Regulation Section 1.368-2(g). Following the Closing Date, Parent
and IDX shall report and otherwise treat for Tax purposes the exchange of
ChannelHealth Stock for Parent Common Stock under Section 351 of the Code.

11.4 Employee Benefits and Labor Indemnity. IDX hereby agrees to indemnify
and hold the Allscripts Indemnified Parties harmless from and against any and
all Losses, if any, (i) arising out of or based upon or with respect to any
Employee Benefit Plan or Pension Plan or any other "employee benefit plan"
within the meaning of Section 3(3) of ERISA maintained by, contributed to or to
which there is or was an obligation to contribute to by IDX, ChannelHealth or
any ERISA Affiliate and (ii) as a result of any Claim made with respect to
employment prior to or on the Closing Date with ChannelHealth including,
without limitation, any Claim with respect to, relating to arising out of or in
connection with discrimination by ChannelHealth or wrongful discharge
(including constructive discharge) prior to the Closing Date.

11.5 Tax Treatment of Indemnity Payments. IDX and Allscripts agree to treat
any indemnity payment made pursuant to this Article XI as an adjustment to the
consideration paid hereunder for federal, state, local and foreign income Tax
purposes. If any indemnification payment under Article XI (including, without
limitation, this Section 11.5) is determined to be taxable to Allscripts or
ChannelHealth by any taxing authority, IDX shall also indemnify Allscripts or
ChannelHealth for any Taxes incurred by reason of the receipt of such payment
and any Related Costs incurred by Allscripts or ChannelHealth in connection
with such Taxes (or any asserted deficiency, claim, demand, action, suit,
proceeding, judgment or assessment, including the defense or settlement
thereof, relating to such Taxes).

11.6 Limitations.

(a) Except with respect to Claims based on actual fraud, the rights of the
Indemnified Parties under this Article XI shall be the sole and exclusive
remedies of the Indemnified Parties and their respective Affiliates with
respect to Claims resulting from or relating to any misrepresentation, breach
of warranty or failure to perform any covenant or agreement contained in this
Agreement or otherwise relating to the transactions that are the subject of
this Agreement. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing sentence, in
no event shall any party hereto, nor its successors or permitted assigns be
entitled to claim or seek rescission of the transactions consummated under this
Agreement.

each of the following three limitations shall apply:

Sections 11.1(a)(i), (iii), (v), (vi) and (vii) (insofar as the Expenses
referred to therein relate to Losses arising under Sections 11.1(a)(i),
(iii), (v) or (vi)) and clause (ii) of Section 11.4 shall not exceed $50
million;

(ii) the aggregate liability of Allscripts for the sum of all Losses
under Sections 11.1(b)(ii) (excluding Losses arising from a breach of
Section 11.3(i)), (iii) and (v) (insofar as the Expenses referred to
therein relate to Losses arising under Sections 11.1(b)(ii) or (iii)) shall
not exceed $50 million; provided, however, any issuance of Earnout Shares
shall not be counted against such amount; and

(iii) IDX shall not be liable for any individual Loss under Sections
11.1(a)(i), (iii), (v), (vi) or (vii) (insofar as the Expenses referred to

48

(vi)) and clause (ii) of Section 11.4 unless such Loss exceeds $50,000 and
IDX shall not be liable for any such individual Losses in excess of $50,000
unless and until the aggregate amount of such individual Losses in excess
of $50,000 exceeds $1 million (it being understood that in such case IDX
shall be liable only for the amount of such Losses in excess of $500,000).

(c) In no event shall any Indemnifying Party be responsible and liable for
any Losses or other amounts under this Article XI that are consequential, in
the nature of lost profits, diminution in value, damage to reputation or the
like, special or punitive or otherwise not actual Losses. Allscripts shall (and
shall cause the ChannelHealth Surviving Corporation to) use commercially
reasonable efforts to pursue all legal rights and remedies available in order
to minimize the Losses for which indemnification is provided to Allscripts by
IDX under Article XI.

(d) The amount of any Losses for which indemnification is provided under
this Article XI shall be reduced by any related recoveries to which the
Indemnified Party is entitled under insurance policies or other related
payments received or receivable from third parties and any tax benefits
actually received by the Indemnified Party or any of its Affiliates or for
which the Indemnified Party or any of its Affiliates is eligible on account of
the matter resulting in such Losses or the payment of such Losses.

(e) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, the amount
of any Losses for which indemnification by IDX is provided under this Article
XI shall be calculated net of any accruals, reserves or provisions reflected in
the Closing Date Balance Sheet.

(f) Effective as of the Effective Time, each of Parent and Allscripts hereby
waives and releases (and shall cause the ChannelHealth Surviving Corporation to
waive and release), any claim ChannelHealth may have against IDX, except (i)
any claims or rights hereunder or under any Ancillary Agreement and (ii) any
claims or rights under the ChannelHealth/IDX Asset Purchase Agreement.
Effective as of the Effective Time, IDX hereby waives and releases any claim
IDX may have against the ChannelHealth Surviving Corporation, except any claims
or rights hereunder or under any Ancillary Agreement.

11.7 Acknowledgement by Allscripts. Allscripts acknowledges that in making
its determination to proceed with the transactions contemplated by this

over any dispute arising out of or relating to this Agreement or any of the
transactions contemplated hereby and each party hereby irrevocably agrees that
all claims in respect of such dispute or any suit, action or proceeding related
thereto may be heard and determined in such courts. The parties hereby
irrevocably waive, to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, any
objection which they may now or hereafter have to the laying of venue of any
such dispute brought in such court or any defense of inconvenient forum for the
maintenance of such dispute. Each of the parties hereto agrees that a judgment
in any such dispute may be enforced in other jurisdictions by suit on the
judgment or in any other manner provided by law.

any party to this Agreement in any suit, action or proceeding by the mailing of
a copy thereof in accordance with the provisions of Section 12.10.

12.7 Entire Agreement; Amendments and Waivers. This Agreement (including the
schedules and exhibits hereto) represents the entire understanding and
agreement between the parties hereto with respect to the subject matter hereof
and can be amended, supplemented or changed, and any provision hereof can be
waived, only by written instrument making specific reference to this Agreement
signed by the party against whom enforcement of any such amendment, supplement,
modification or waiver is sought. No action taken pursuant to this Agreement,
including without limitation, any investigation by or on behalf of any party,
shall be deemed to constitute a waiver by the party taking such action of
compliance with any representation, warranty, covenant or agreement contained
herein. The waiver by any party hereto of a breach of any provision of this
Agreement shall not operate or be construed as a further or continuing waiver
of such breach or as a waiver of any other or subsequent breach. No failure on
the part of any party to exercise, and no delay in exercising, any right, power
or remedy hereunder shall operate as a waiver thereof, nor shall any single or
partial exercise of such right, power or remedy by such party preclude any
other or further exercise thereof or the exercise of any other right, power or
remedy. All remedies hereunder are cumulative and are not exclusive of any
other remedies provided by law.

12.8 Governing Law. This Agreement shall be governed by and construed in
accordance with the laws of the State of Delaware.

headings of this Agreement are for reference purposes only and are to be given
no effect in the construction or interpretation of this Agreement.

12.10 No Third Party Beneficiaries. This Agreement shall not confer any
rights or remedies upon any Person other than the parties and their respective
successors and permitted assigns; provided, however, the provisions of Sections
8.20, 11.3(i) and 11.3(j) are expressly undertaken for the benefit of, and may
be enforced directly by, Pequot.

12.11 Notices. All notices and other communications under this Agreement

ANNEX C

PERSONAL AND CONFIDENTIAL

November 29, 2000

Board of Directors
Allscripts, Inc.
2401 Commerce Drive
Libertyville, IL 60048

Gentlemen:

You have requested our opinion as to the fairness from a financial point of
view to Allscripts, Inc. ("Allscripts") of the ChannelHealth Common Stock
Merger Consideration (as defined below) to be paid by Allscripts pursuant to
the Agreement and Plan of Merger (the "Agreement"), dated as of July 13, 2000,
among Allscripts Holding, Inc., a wholly-owned subsidiary of Allscripts
("Parent"), Allscripts, Bursar Acquisition, Inc., a wholly-owned subsidiary of
Parent ("SubA"), Bursar Acquisition No.2, Inc., a wholly-owned subsidiary of
Parent ("SubB"), IDX Systems Corporation ("IDX") and ChannelHealth
Incorporated, a corporation owned 88.49% by IDX ("ChannelHealth"). Pursuant to
the Agreement, (i)(a) SubA will merge with and into Allscripts, (b) each share
of common stock, par value $0.01 per share ("Allscripts Shares"), of Allscripts
(other than Allscripts Shares to be canceled pursuant to section 2.1(a) of the
Agreement) will be converted into the right to receive one (1) share of common
stock, par value $0.01 ("Parent Shares"), of Parent, and (c) Allscripts will
become a wholly-owned subsidiary of Parent, and (ii)(a) SubB will merge with
and into ChannelHealth (the "ChannelHealth Merger"), and (b) each share of
common stock, par value $0.001 per share (the "ChannelHealth Common Stock"), of
ChannelHealth (other than shares of ChannelHealth Common Stock to be canceled
pursuant to Section 2.2 of the Agreement and ChannelHealth Dissenting Shares
(as defined in the Agreement)) will be converted into the right to receive
0.33730 Parent Shares (the "ChannelHealth Common Stock Merger Consideration").
Additionally, pursuant to the Agreement, each share of Series A Convertible
Preferred Stock, $0.001 par value per share (the "ChannelHealth Preferred
Stock"), of ChannelHealth (other than shares of ChannelHealth Preferred Stock
to be canceled pursuant to Section 2.2 of the Agreement) will be converted into
the right to receive 0.33730 Parent Shares. Section 3.1 of the Agreement also
provides that, if certain financial milestones are achieved in the future,
Parent will issue and deliver additional Parent Shares for the benefit of the
holders of ChannelHealth Common Stock and the holders of ChannelHealth
Preferred Stock.

Goldman, Sachs & Co., as part of its investment banking business, is
continually engaged in the valuation of businesses and their securities in
connection with mergers and acquisitions, negotiated underwritings, competitive
biddings, secondary distributions of listed and unlisted securities, private
placements and valuations for estate, corporate and other purposes. We are
familiar with Allscripts having provided certain investment banking services to
Allscripts from time to time, including having acted as managing underwriter of
the initial public offering of Allscripts Shares on July 23, 1999 and having
acted as managing underwriter of the public offering of Allscripts Shares on
March 6, 2000. In addition, we have acted as Allscripts' financial advisor in
connection with, and have participated in certain of the negotiations leading
to, the Agreement. In addition, we may provide investment banking services to
IDX in the future. Goldman, Sachs & Co. provides a full range of financial
advisory and securities services and, in the course of its normal trading
activities, may from time to time effect transactions and hold securities,
including derivative securities, of Allscripts or IDX for its own account and
for the accounts of customers.

In connection with this opinion, we have reviewed, among other things, the
Agreement; the Strategic Alliance Agreement, in the form of Exhibit D to the
Agreement; the Stock Rights and Restrictions Agreement, in the form of Exhibit
E to the Agreement; the Registration Statement on Form S-4 (File No. 333-
49568), including the Proxy Statement-Prospectus relating to the Special
Meeting of Stockholders of Allscripts to be held in connection with the
Agreement; the Registration Statements on Form S-1 of Allscripts including the

Prospectuses therein dated July 23, 1999 and March 6, 2000; Annual Reports to
Stockholders and Annual Reports on Form 10-K of Allscripts for the year ended
December 31, 1999 and Annual Reports to Stockholders and Annual Reports on Form
10-K of IDX for the five years ended December 31, 1999; certain interim reports
to stockholders and Quarterly Reports on Form 10-Q of Allscripts and IDX;
certain other communications from Allscripts and IDX to their respective
stockholders; certain internal financial analysis and forecasts for
ChannelHealth prepared by the management of ChannelHealth and adjusted by the
management of Allscripts; certain internal financial analyses and forecasts for
Allscripts prepared by the management of Allscripts; and certain cost savings
and operating synergies projected by the management of Allscripts to result
from the transactions contemplated by the Agreement, including the Strategic
Alliance Agreement (the "Synergies"). We also have held discussions with
members of the senior management of Allscripts and ChannelHealth regarding
their assessment of the strategic rationale for, and the potential benefits of,
the transactions contemplated by the Agreement and their past and current
business operations, financial condition and future prospects. In addition, we
have reviewed the reported price and trading activity for the Allscripts
Shares, compared certain financial and stock market information for Allscripts
and certain financial information for ChannelHealth with similar information
for certain other companies the securities of which are publicly traded,
reviewed the financial terms of certain recent business combinations in the
healthcare information technology industry specifically and in other industries
generally and performed such other studies and analyses as we considered
appropriate.

We have relied upon the accuracy and completeness of all of the financial
and other information discussed with or reviewed by us and have assumed such
accuracy and completeness for purposes of rendering this opinion. In that
regard, we have assumed with your consent that the forecasts for Allscripts and
ChannelHealth and the Synergies have been reasonably prepared on a basis
reflecting the best currently available estimates and judgments of Allscripts,
and that the Synergies will be realized in the amounts and the time periods
contemplated thereby. In addition, we have not made an independent evaluation
or appraisal of the assets and liabilities of Allscripts, ChannelHealth, IDX or
any of their subsidiaries and we have not been furnished with any such
evaluation or appraisal. We have also assumed that the Strategic Alliance
Agreement and the Stock Rights and Restrictions Agreement will be executed in
the forms attached as Exhibit D and Exhibit E to the Agreement, respectively.
Our advisory services and the opinion expressed herein are provided for the
information and assistance of the Board of Directors of Allscripts in
connection with its consideration of the transactions contemplated by the
Agreement and such opinion does not constitute a recommendation as to how any
holder of Allscripts Shares should vote with respect to such transactions.

Based upon and subject to the foregoing and based upon such other matters as
we consider relevant, it is our opinion that as of the date hereof the
ChannelHealth Common Stock Merger Consideration to be paid by Allscripts
pursuant to the Agreement is fair from a financial point of view to Allscripts.

Very truly yours,

(GOLDMAN, SACHS & CO.)

ANNEX D     

DELAWARE GENERAL CORPORATION LAW

SECTION 262 -- APPRAISAL RIGHTS

262 APPRAISAL RIGHTS. (a) Any stockholder of a corporation of this State who
holds shares of stock on the date of the making of a demand pursuant to
subsection (d) of this section with respect to such shares, who continuously
holds such shares through the effective date of the merger or consolidation,
who has otherwise complied with subsection (d) of this section and who has
neither voted in favor of the merger or consolidation nor consented thereto in
writing pursuant to sec.228 of this title shall be entitled to an appraisal by
the Court of Chancery of the fair value of the stockholder's shares of stock
under the circumstances described in subsections (b) and (c) of this section.
As used in this section, the word "stockholder" means a holder of record of
stock in a stock corporation and also a member of record of a nonstock
corporation; the words "stock" and "share" mean and include what is ordinarily
meant by those words and also membership or membership interest of a member of
a nonstock corporation; and the words "depository receipt" mean a receipt or
other instrument issued by a depository representing an interest in one or more
shares, or fractions thereof, solely of stock of a corporation, which stock is
deposited with the depository.

(b) Appraisal rights shall be available for the shares of any class or
series of stock of a constituent corporation in a merger or consolidation to be
effected pursuant to sec.251 (other than a merger effected pursuant to sec.251
(g) of this title), sec.252, sec.254, sec.257, sec.258, sec.263 or sec.264 of
this title:

(1) Provided, however, that no appraisal rights under this section shall
be available for the shares of any class or series of stock, which stock,
or depository receipts in respect thereof, at the record date fixed to
determine the stockholders entitled to receive notice of and to vote at the
meeting of stockholders to act upon the agreement of merger or
consolidation, were either (i) listed on a national securities exchange or
designated as a national market system security on an interdealer quotation
system by the National Association of Securities Dealers, Inc. or (ii) held
of record by more than 2,000 holders; and further provided that no
appraisal rights shall be available for any shares of stock of the
constituent corporation surviving a merger if the merger did not require
for its approval the vote of the stockholders of the surviving corporation
as provided in subsection (f) of sec.251 of this title.

(2) Notwithstanding paragraph (1) of this subsection, appraisal rights
under this section shall be available for the shares of any class or series
of stock of a constituent corporation if the holders thereof are required
by the terms of an agreement of merger or consolidation pursuant to
Sections 251, 252, 254, 257, 258, 263 and 264 of this title to accept for
such stock anything except:

a. Shares of stock of the corporation surviving or resulting from
such merger or consolidation, or depository receipts in respect
thereof;

b. Shares of stock of any other corporation, or depository receipts
in respect thereof, which shares of stock (or depository receipts in
respect thereof) or depository receipts at the effective date of the
merger or consolidation will be either listed on a national securities
exchange or designated as a national market system security on an
interdealer quotation system by the National Association of Securities
Dealers, Inc. or held of record by more than 2,000 holders;

c. Cash in lieu of fractional shares or fractional depository
receipts described in the foregoing subparagraphs a. and b. of this
paragraph; or

d. Any combination of the shares of stock, depository receipts and
cash in lieu of fractional shares or fractional depository receipts
described in the foregoing subparagraphs a., b. and c. of this
paragraph.

(3) In the event all of the stock of a subsidiary Delaware corporation
party to a merger effected under sec.253 of this title is not owned by the
parent corporation immediately prior to the merger, appraisal rights shall
be available for the shares of the subsidiary Delaware corporation.

(c) Any corporation may provide in its certificate of incorporation that
appraisal rights under this section shall be available for the shares of any
class or series of its stock as a result of an amendment to its certificate of
incorporation, any merger or consolidation in which the corporation is a
constituent corporation or the sale of all or substantially all of the assets
of the corporation. If the certificate of incorporation contains such a
provision, the procedures of this section, including those set forth in
subsections (d) and (e) of this section, shall apply as nearly as is
practicable.

(d) Appraisal rights shall be perfected as follows:

(1) If a proposed merger or consolidation for which appraisal rights are
provided under this section is to be submitted for approval at a meeting of
stockholders, the corporation, not less than 20 days prior to the meeting,
shall notify each of its stockholders who was such on the record date for
such meeting with respect to shares for which appraisal rights are
available pursuant to subsections (b) or (c) hereof that appraisal rights
are available for any or all of the shares of the constituent corporations,
and shall include in such notice a copy of this section. Each stockholder
electing to demand the appraisal of such stockholder's shares shall deliver
to the corporation, before the taking of the vote on the merger or
consolidation, a written demand for appraisal of such stockholder's shares.
Such demand will be sufficient if it reasonably informs the corporation of
the identity of the stockholder and that the stockholder intends thereby to
demand the appraisal of such stockholder's shares. A proxy or vote against
the merger or consolidation shall not constitute such a demand. A
stockholder electing to take such action must do so by a separate written
demand as herein provided. Within 10 days after the effective date of such
merger or consolidation, the surviving or resulting corporation shall
notify each stockholder of each constituent corporation who has complied
with this subsection and has not voted in favor of or consented to the
merger or consolidation of the date that the merger or consolidation has
become effective; or

(2) If the merger or consolidation was approved pursuant to sec.228 or
sec.253 of this title, each constituent corporation, either before the
effective date of the merger or consolidation or within ten days
thereafter, shall notify each of the holders of any class or series of
stock of such constituent corporation who are entitled to appraisal rights
of the approval of the merger or consolidation and that appraisal rights
are available for any or all shares of such class or series of stock of
such constituent corporation, and shall include in such notice a copy of
this section; provided that, if the notice is given on or after the
effective date of the merger or consolidation, such notice shall be given
by the surviving or resulting corporation to all such holders of any class
or series of stock of a constituent corporation that are entitled to
appraisal rights. Such notice may, and, if given on or after the effective
date of the merger or consolidation, shall, also notify such stockholders
of the effective date of the merger or consolidation. Any stockholder
entitled to appraisal rights may, within 20 days after the date of mailing
of such notice, demand in writing from the surviving or resulting
corporation the appraisal of such holder's shares. Such demand will be
sufficient if it reasonably informs the corporation of the identity of the
stockholder and that the stockholder intends thereby to demand the
appraisal of such holder's shares. If such notice did not notify
stockholders of the effective date of the merger or consolidation, either
(i) each such constituent corporation shall send a second notice before the
effective date of the merger or consolidation notifying each of the holders
of any class or series of stock of such constituent corporation that are
entitled to appraisal rights of the effective date of the merger or
consolidation or (ii) the surviving or resulting corporation shall send
such a second notice to all such holders on or within 10 days after such
effective date; provided, however, that if such second notice is sent more
than 20 days following the sending of the first notice, such second notice
need only be sent to each stockholder who is entitled to appraisal rights
and who has demanded appraisal of such holder's shares in accordance with
this subsection. An affidavit of the secretary or assistant secretary or of
the transfer agent of the corporation that is required to give either
notice that such notice has been given shall, in the absence of fraud, be
prima facie evidence of the facts stated therein. For purposes of
determining the stockholders entitled to receive either notice, each
constituent corporation may fix, in advance, a record date that shall be
not more than 10 days prior to the date the notice is given, provided, that
if the notice is given on or after the effective date of the merger or
consolidation, the record date shall be such effective date. If no record
date is fixed and the notice is given prior to the effective date, the
record date shall be the close of business on the day next preceding the
day on which the notice is given.

2

(e) Within 120 days after the effective date of the merger or consolidation,
the surviving or resulting corporation or any stockholder who has complied with
subsections (a) and (d) hereof and who is otherwise entitled to appraisal
rights, may file a petition in the Court of Chancery demanding a determination
of the value of the stock of all such stockholders. Notwithstanding the
foregoing, at any time within 60 days after the effective date of the merger or
consolidation, any stockholder shall have the right to withdraw such
stockholder's demand for appraisal and to accept the terms offered upon the
merger or consolidation. Within 120 days after the effective date of the merger
or consolidation, any stockholder who has complied with the requirements of
subsections (a) and (d) hereof, upon written request, shall be entitled to
receive from the corporation surviving the merger or resulting from the
consolidation a statement setting forth the aggregate number of shares not
voted in favor of the merger or consolidation and with respect to which demands
for appraisal have been received and the aggregate number of holders of such
shares. Such written statement shall be mailed to the stockholder within 10
days after such stockholder's written request for such a statement is received
by the surviving or resulting corporation or within 10 days after expiration of
the period for delivery of demands for appraisal under subsection (d) hereof,
whichever is later.

(f) Upon the filing of any such petition by a stockholder, service of a copy
thereof shall be made upon the surviving or resulting corporation, which shall
within 20 days after such service file in the office of the Register in
Chancery in which the petition was filed a duly verified list containing the
names and addresses of all stockholders who have demanded payment for their
shares and with whom agreements as to the value of their shares have not been
reached by the surviving or resulting corporation. If the petition shall be
filed by the surviving or resulting corporation, the petition shall be
accompanied by such a duly verified list. The Register in Chancery, if so
ordered by the Court, shall give notice of the time and place fixed for the
hearing of such petition by registered or certified mail to the surviving or
resulting corporation and to the stockholders shown on the list at the
addresses therein stated. Such notice shall also be given by one or more
publications at least one week before the day of the hearing, in a newspaper of
general circulation published in the City of Wilmington, Delaware or such
publication as the Court deems advisable. The forms of the notices by mail and
by publication shall be approved by the Court, and the costs thereof shall be
borne by the surviving or resulting corporation.

(g) At the hearing on such petition, the Court shall determine the
stockholders who have complied with this section and who have become entitled
to appraisal rights. The Court may require the stockholders who have demanded
an appraisal for their shares and who hold stock represented by certificates to
submit their certificates of stock to the Register in Chancery for notation
thereon of the pendency of the appraisal proceedings; and if any stockholder
fails to comply with such direction, the Court may dismiss the proceedings as
to such stockholder.

(h) After determining the stockholders entitled to an appraisal, the Court
shall appraise the shares, determining their fair value exclusive of any
element of value arising from the accomplishment or expectation of the merger
or consolidation, together with a fair rate of interest, if any, to be paid
upon the amount determined to be the fair value. In determining such fair
value, the Court shall take into account all relevant factors. In determining
the fair rate of interest, the Court may consider all relevant factors,
including the rate of interest which the surviving or resulting corporation
would have had to pay to borrow money during the pendency of the proceeding.
Upon application by the surviving or resulting corporation or by any
stockholder entitled to participate in the appraisal proceeding, the Court may,
in its discretion, permit discovery or other pretrial proceedings and may
proceed to trial upon the appraisal prior to the final determination of the
stockholder entitled to an appraisal. Any stockholder whose name appears on the
list filed by the surviving or resulting corporation pursuant to subsection (f)
of this section and who has submitted such stockholder's certificates of stock
to the Register in Chancery, if such is required, may participate fully in all
proceedings until it is finally determined that such stockholder is not
entitled to appraisal rights under this section.

(i) The Court shall direct the payment of the fair value of the shares,
together with interest, if any, by the surviving or resulting corporation to
the stockholders entitled thereto. Interest may be simple or compound, as the
Court may direct. Payment shall be so made to each such stockholder, in the
case of holders of

3

uncertificated stock forthwith, and the case of holders of shares represented
by certificates upon the surrender to the corporation of the certificates
representing such stock. The Court's decree may be enforced as other decrees in
the Court of Chancery may be enforced, whether such surviving or resulting
corporation be a corporation of this State or of any state.

(j) The costs of the proceeding may be determined by the Court and taxed
upon the parties as the Court deems equitable in the circumstances. Upon
application of a stockholder, the Court may order all or a portion of the
expenses incurred by any stockholder in connection with the appraisal
proceeding, including, without limitation, reasonable attorney's fees and the
fees and expenses of experts, to be charged pro rata against the value of all
the shares entitled to an appraisal.

(k) From and after the effective date of the merger or consolidation, no
stockholder who has demanded appraisal rights as provided in subsection (d) of
this section shall be entitled to vote such stock for any purpose or to receive
payment of dividends or other distributions on the stock (except dividends or
other distributions payable to stockholders of record at a date which is prior
to the effective date of the merger or consolidation); provided, however, that
if no petition for an appraisal shall be filed within the time provided in
subsection (e) of this section, or if such stockholder shall deliver to the
surviving or resulting corporation a written withdrawal of such stockholder's
demand for an appraisal and an acceptance of the merger or consolidation,
either within 60 days after the effective date of the merger or consolidation
as provided in subsection (e) of this section or thereafter with the written
approval of the corporation, then the right of such stockholder to an appraisal
shall cease. Notwithstanding the foregoing, no appraisal proceeding in the
Court of Chancery shall be dismissed as to any stockholder without the approval
of the Court, and such approval may be conditioned upon such terms as the Court
deems just.

(l) The shares of the surviving or resulting corporation to which the shares
of such objecting stockholders would have been converted had they assented to
the merger or consolidation shall have the status of authorized and unissued
shares of the surviving or resulting corporation.

PART II

INFORMATION NOT REQUIRED IN PROSPECTUS

Item 20. Indemnification of Directors and Officers

Section 102(b) of the Delaware General Corporation Law ("DGCL") allows a
corporation to include in its certificate of incorporation a provision to
eliminate or limit the personal liability of a director to the registrant or
its stockholders for monetary damages for breach of fiduciary duty as a
director, except in cases where the director breached his or her duty of
loyalty to the registrant or its stockholders, failed to act in good faith,
engaged in intentional misconduct or a knowing violation of a law, willfully or
negligently authorized the unlawful payment of a dividend or approved an
illegal stock repurchase (as provided in Section 174 of the DGCL) or derived an
improper personal benefit. The registrant's certificate of incorporation, as
amended, contains provisions that eliminate directors' personal liability, in
certain circumstances, as set forth below.

The registrant's certificate of incorporation, as amended, provides that a
director will not be personally liable to the registrant or its stockholders
for monetary damages for breach of fiduciary duty as a director, except for
liability (i) for any breach of the director's duty of loyalty to the
registrant or its stockholders, (ii) for acts or omissions not in good faith or
which involve intentional misconduct or a knowing violation of law, (iii) under
Section 174 of the DGCL or (iv) for any transaction from which the director
derived an improper personal benefit.

The registrant's certificate of incorporation, as amended, provides that
each person who has been or is made a party or is threatened to be made a party
to or is involved in any action, suit or proceeding, whether civil, criminal,
administrative or investigative (hereinafter a "proceeding"), by reason of the
fact that he or she, or a person of whom he or she is the legal representative,
is or was a director or officer of the registrant, or is or was serving at the
request of the registrant as a director, officer, employee or agent of another
corporation, partnership joint venture, trust or other enterprise, including
service with respect to employee benefit plans, whether the basis of such
proceeding is alleged action in an official capacity as a director, officer,
employee or agent or in any other capacity while serving as a director,
officer, employee or agent, shall be indemnified and held harmless by the
registrant to the fullest extent authorized by the DGCL, or any other
applicable law, as the same exists or may hereafter be amended (but, in case of
any such amendment, only to the extent that such amendment permits the
registrant to provide broader indemnification rights than said law permitted
the registrant to provide prior to such amendment), against all expense,
liability and loss (including attorneys' fees, judgments, fines, ERISA excise
taxes or penalties and amounts paid or to be paid in settlement) reasonably
incurred or suffered by such person in connection therewith and such
indemnification shall continue as to a person who has ceased to be a director,
officer, employee or agent and shall inure to the benefit of his or her heirs,
executors and administrators.

The registrant has a duty to indemnify any person seeking indemnification
pursuant to the registrant's certificate of incorporation in connection with a
proceeding (or part thereof) initiated by that person only if the proceeding
(or part thereof) was authorized by the board of directors of the registrant.

The registrant may, by action of its board of directors, provide
indemnification to employees or agents of the registrant to the fullest extent
of the foregoing indemnification of directors and officers.

The registrant may maintain insurance, at its expense, to protect itself and
any director, officer, employee or agent of the registrant or another
corporation, partnership, joint venture, trust or other enterprise against any
expense, liability or loss, whether or not the registrant would have the power
to indemnify such person against expense, liability or loss under the DGCL, or
any other applicable law.

Item 22. Undertakings.

(a) The undersigned registrant hereby undertakes that, for purposes of
determining any liability under the Securities Act of 1933, each filing of the
registrant's annual report pursuant to Section 13(a) or Section 15(d) of the
Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (and, where applicable, each filing of an
employee benefit plan's annual report pursuant to Section 15(d) of the
Securities Exchange Act) that is incorporated by reference in the registration
statement shall be deemed to be a new registration statement relating to the
securities offered therein, and the offering of such securities at that time
shall be deemed to be the initial bona fide offering thereof.

(b) (1) The undersigned registrant hereby undertakes as follows: that
prior to any public reoffering of the securities registered hereunder
through use of a prospectus which is a part of this registration statement,
by any person or party who is deemed to be an underwriter within the
meaning of Rule 145(c), the issuer undertakes that such reoffering
prospectus will contain the information called for by the applicable
registration form with respect to reofferings by persons who may be deemed
underwriters, in addition to the information called for by other items of
the applicable form.

(2) The registrant undertakes that every prospectus: (i) that is filed
pursuant to paragraph (1) immediately preceding, or (ii) that purports to
meet the requirements of section 10(a)(3) of the Securities Act of 1933 and
is used in connection with an offering of securities subject to Rule 415,
will be filed as a part of an amendment to the registration statement and
will not be used until such amendment is effective, and that, for purposes
of determining any liability under the Securities Act of 1933, each such
post-effective amendment shall be deemed to be a new registration statement
relating to the securities offered therein, and the offering of such
securities at that time shall be deemed to be the initial bona fide
offering thereof.

(c) Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the
Securities Act of 1933 may be permitted to directors, officers and
controlling persons of the registrant pursuant to the foregoing provisions,
or otherwise, the registrant has been advised that in the opinion of the
Securities and Exchange Commission such indemnification is against public
policy as expressed in the Act and is, therefore, unenforceable. In the
event that a claim for indemnification against such liabilities (other than
the payment by the registrant of expenses incurred or paid by a director,
officer or controlling person of the registrant in the successful defense
of any action, suit or proceeding) is asserted by such director, officer or
controlling person in connection with the securities being registered, the
registrant will, unless in the opinion of its counsel the matter has been
settled by controlling precedent, submit to a court of appropriate
jurisdiction the question whether such indemnification by it is against
public policy as expressed in the Securities Act of 1933 and will be
governed by the final adjudication of such issue.

(d) The undersigned registrant hereby undertakes to respond to requests
for information that is incorporated by reference into the prospectus
pursuant to Items 4, 10(b), 11 or 13 of Form S-4, within one business day
of receipt of such request, and to send the incorporated documents by first
class mail or other equally prompt means. This includes information
contained in documents filed subsequent to the effective date of the
registration statement through the date of responding to the request.

(e) The undersigned registrant hereby undertakes to supply by means of a
post-effective amendment all information concerning a transaction, and the
company being acquired involved therein, that was not the subject of and
included in the registration statement when it became effective.

3.  Common Stock.

(a)  After dividends to which the holders of Preferred Stock may then be
entitled under the resolutions creating any series thereof have been
declared and after the Corporation shall have set apart the amounts
required pursuant to such resolutions for the purchase or redemption of any
series of Preferred Stock, the holders of Common Stock shall be entitled to
have dividends declared in cash, property, or other securities of the
Corporation out of any net profits or net assets of the Corporation legally
available therefor, if, as and when such dividends are declared by the
Corporation's Board of Directors.

(b)  In the event of the liquidation or dissolution of the Corporation's
business and after the holders of Preferred Stock shall have received
amounts to which they are entitled under the resolutions creating such
series, the holders of Common Stock shall be entitled to receive ratably
the balance of the Corporation's net assets available for distribution.

(c)  Each share of Common Stock shall be entitled to one vote upon all matters
upon which stockholders have the right to vote, but shall not be entitled
to vote for the election of any directors who may be elected by vote of the
Preferred Stock voting as a class if so provided in the resolution creating
such Preferred Stock pursuant to Section 2(a) of this Article FOURTH.

4.  Preemptive Rights.  No holder of any shares of the Corporation shall have
any preemptive right to subscribe for or to acquire any additional shares of the
Corporation of the same or of any other class whether now or hereafter
authorized or any options or warrants giving the right to purchase any such
shares, or any bonds, notes, debentures or other obligations convertible into
any such shares.

FIFTH:  The Corporation is to have perpetual existence.

SIXTH:  The private property of the stockholders shall not be subject to
the payment of corporate debts to any extent whatever.

SEVENTH:  Except as may otherwise be fixed by resolution of the Board of
Directors pursuant to the provisions of Article FOURTH hereof relating to the
rights of the holders of Preferred Stock to elect directors as a class, the
number of directors of the Corporation shall be 

2

fixed from time to time by or pursuant to the By-Laws of the Corporation. The
directors, other than those who may be elected by the holders of Preferred
Stock, shall be classified, with respect to the time for which they severally
hold office, into three classes, as nearly equal in number as possible. The
first class shall be initially elected for a term expiring at the next ensuing
annual meeting, the second class shall be initially elected for a term expiring
one year thereafter, and the third class shall be elected for a term expiring
two years thereafter, with each member of each class to hold office until his
successor is elected and qualified. At each annual meeting of the stockholders
of the Corporation held after the initial classification and election of
directors, the successors of the class of directors whose term expires at that
meeting shall be elected to hold office for a term expiring at the annual
meeting of stockholders held in the third year following the year of their
election.

Advance notice of stockholder nominations for the election of directors
shall be given in the manner provided in the By-Laws of the Corporation.

Except as may otherwise be fixed by resolution of the Board of Directors
pursuant to the provisions of Article FOURTH hereof relating to the rights of
the holders of Preferred Stock to elect directors as a class, newly created
directorships resulting from any increase in the number of directors and any
vacancies on the Board of Directors resulting from death, resignation,
disqualification, removal or any other cause shall be filled by the affirmative
vote of a majority of the remaining directors then in office, even though less
than a quorum of the Board of Directors. Any director elected in accordance with
the preceding sentence shall hold office for the remainder of the full term of
the class of directors in which the new directorship was created (subject to the
requirements of this Article SEVENTH that all classes be as nearly equal in
number as possible) or in which the vacancy occurred and until such director's
successor shall have been elected and qualified. No decrease in the number of
directors constituting the Board of Directors shall shorten the term of an
incumbent director.

Subject to any rights of the holders of Preferred Stock to elect directors
as a class, a director may be removed only for cause and only by the affirmative
vote of the holders of 80% of the combined voting power of the then outstanding
shares of stock entitled to vote generally in the election of directors, voting
together as a single class.

In furtherance and not in limitation of the powers conferred by statute,
the Board of Directors is expressly authorized:

1. To adopt, amend and repeal the By-Laws of the Corporation. Any
ByLaws adopted by the directors under the powers conferred hereby may be
amended or repealed by the directors or by the stockholders.
Notwithstanding the foregoing or any other provision in this Certificate of
Incorporation or the By-Laws of the Corporation to the contrary, Article
11, Sections 3 and 7 and Article 111, Sections 1, 2 and 3 of the ByLaws
shall not be amended or repealed and no provision inconsistent therewith
shall be adopted without the affirmative vote of the holders of at least
80% of the voting power of all the shares of the Corporation entitled to
vote generally in the election of directors, voting together as a single
class.

3

2. To fix and determine, and to vary the amount of, the working capital
of the Corporation, and to determine the use or investment of any assets of
the Corporation, to set apart out of any of the funds of the Corporation
available for dividends a reserve or reserves for any proper purpose and to
abolish any such reserve or reserves.

3. To authorize the purchase or other acquisition of shares of stock of
the Corporation or any of its bonds, debentures, notes, scrip, warrants or
other securities or evidence of indebtedness.

4. Except as otherwise provided by law, to determine the places within
or without the State of Delaware, where any or all of the books of the
Corporation shall be kept.

5. To authorize the sale, lease or other disposition of any part or
parts of the properties of the Corporation and to cease to conduct the
business connected therewith or again to resume the same, as it may deem
best.

6. To authorize the borrowing of money, the issuance of bonds,
debentures and other obligations or evidences of indebtedness of the
Corporation, secured or unsecured, and the inclusion of provisions as to
redeemability and convertibility into shares of stock of the Corporation or
otherwise; and the mortgaging or pledging, as security for money borrowed
or bonds, notes, debentures or other obligations issued by the Corporation,
of any property of the Corporation, real or personal, then owned or
thereafter acquired by the Corporation.

7. To authorize the negotiation and execution on behalf of the
Corporation of agreements with officers and other employees of the
corporation relating to the payment of severance compensation to such
officers or employees.

In addition to the powers and authorities herein or by statute expressly
conferred upon it, the Board of Directors may exercise all such powers and do
all such acts and things as may be exercised or done by the Corporation,
subject, nevertheless, to the provisions of the laws of the State of Delaware,
of this Certificate of Incorporation and of the By-Laws of the Corporation.

Subject to any limitation in the By-Laws, the members of the Board of
Directors shall be entitled to reasonable fees, salaries, or other compensation
for their services, as determined from time to time by the Board of Directors,
and to reimbursement for their expenses as such members. Nothing herein
contained shall preclude any director from serving the Corporation or its
subsidiaries or affiliates in any other capacity and receiving compensation
therefor.

Notwithstanding anything contained in this Amended and Restated Certificate
of Incorporation to the contrary, the affirmative vote of the holders of at
least 80% of the voting power of all shares of the Corporation entitled to vote
generally in the election of directors, voting together as a single class, shall
be required to alter, amend, adopt any provision inconsistent with or repeal
this Article SEVENTH.

EIGHTH:  Both stockholders and directors shall have power, if the By-Laws
so provide, to hold their meetings and to have one or more offices within or
without the State of Delaware.  

4

Except as may otherwise be fixed by resolution of the Board of Directors
pursuant to the provisions of Article FOURTH hereof relating to the rights of
the holders of Preferred Stock, any action required or permitted to be taken by
the stockholders of the Corporation may be effected at a duly called annual or
special meeting of such holders and may not be effected by any consent in
writing by such holders. Except as otherwise required by law and subject to the
rights of the holders of Preferred Stock, special meetings of stockholders may
be called only by the Chairman, if any, on his own initiative, the President on
his own initiative or by the Board of Directors pursuant to a resolution
approved by a majority of the entire Board of Directors. Notwithstanding
anything contained in this Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation to
the contrary, the affirmative vote of the holders of at least 80% of the voting
power of all shares of the Corporation entitled to vote generally in the
election of directors, voting together as a single class, shall be required to
alter, amend, adopt any provision inconsistent with or repeal this Article
EIGHTH.

NINTH: Except as otherwise provided in this Amended and Restated
Certificate of Incorporation, the Corporation reserves the right to amend,
alter, change or repeal any provision contained in this Amended and Restated
Certificate of Incorporation in the manner now or hereafter prescribed by
statute, and all rights conferred upon stockholders herein are granted subject
to this reservation.

TENTH:

(a)  A director of the Corporation shall not be personally liable to the
Corporation or its stockholders for monetary damages for breach of
fiduciary duty as a director, except for liability (i) for any breach of
the director's duty of loyalty to the Corporation or its stockholders, (ii)
for acts or omissions not in good faith or which involve intentional
misconduct or a knowing violation of law, (iii) under Section 174 of the
General Corporation Law of the State of Delaware or (iv) for any
transaction from which the director derived an improper personal benefit.
If the General Corporation Law of the State of Delaware, or any other
applicable law, is amended to authorize corporation action further
eliminating or limiting the personal liability of directors, then the
liability of a director of the Corporation shall be eliminated or limited
to the fullest extent permitted by the General Corporation Law of the State
of Delaware, or any other applicable law, as so amended. Any repeal or
modification of this Section (a) by the stockholders of the Corporation
shall not adversely affect any right or protection of a director of the
Corporation existing at the time of such repeal or modification.

(b)  (1) Each person who has been or is made a party or is threatened to be made
a party to or is involved in any action, suit or proceeding, whether civil,
criminal, administrative or investigative (hereinafter a "proceeding"), by
reason of the fact that he or she, or a person of whom he or she is the
legal representative, is or was a director or officer of the Corporation or
is or was serving at the request of the Corporation as a director, officer,
employee or agent of another corporation or of a partnership, joint
venture, trust or other enterprise, including service with respect to
employee benefit plans, whether the basis of such proceeding is an alleged
action in an official capacity as a director, officer, employee or agent or
in any other capacity while serving as a director, officer, employee or
agent, shall be indemnified and held harmless by the Corporation to the
fullest extent authorized by the General Corporation Law of the State of
Delaware, or any other applicable law, as the same exists or may hereafter
be 

5

amended (but, in the case of any such amendment, only to the extent that
such amendment permits the Corporation to provide broader indemnification
rights than said law permitted the Corporation to provide prior to such
amendment), against all expenses, liability and loss (including attorneys'
fees, judgments, fines, ERISA excise taxes or penalties and amounts paid or
to be paid in settlement) reasonably incurred or suffered by such person in
connection therewith and such indemnification shall continue as to a person
who has ceased to be a director, officer, employee or agent and shall inure
to the benefit of his or her heirs, executors and administrators; provided,
however, that except as provided in paragraph (2) of this Section (b) with
respect to proceedings seeking to enforce rights to indemnification, the
Corporation shall indemnify any such person seeking indemnification in
connection with a proceeding (or part thereof) initiated by such person
only if such proceeding (or part thereof) was authorized by the Board of
Directors of the Corporation. The right to indemnification conferred in
this Section (b) shall be a contract right and shall include the right to
be paid by the Corporation the expenses incurred in defending any such
proceeding in advance of its final disposition; provided, however, that if
the General Corporation Law of the State of Delaware, or any other
applicable law, requires, the payment of such expenses incurred by a
director or officer in his or her capacity as a director or officer (and
not in any other capacity in which service was or is rendered by such
person while a director or officer, including, without limitation, service
to an employee benefit plan) in advance of the final disposition of a
proceeding shall be made only upon delivery to the Corporation of an
undertaking by or on behalf of such director or officer to repay all
amounts so advanced if it shall ultimately be determined that such director
or officer is not entitled to be indemnified under this Section (b) or
otherwise.

(2)  If a claim under paragraph (1) of this Section (b) is not paid in full by
the Corporation within thirty days after a written claim has been received
by the Corporation, the claimant may at any time thereafter bring suit
against the Corporation to recover the unpaid amount of the claim and, if
successful in whole or in part, the claimant shall be entitled to be paid
also the expense of prosecuting such claim. It shall be a defense to any
such action (other than an action brought to enforce a claim for expenses
incurred in defending any proceeding in advance of its final disposition
where the required undertaking, if any is required, has been tendered to
the Corporation) that the claimant has not met the standard of conduct
which make it permissible under the General Corporation Law of the State of
Delaware, or any other applicable law, for the Corporation to indemnify the
claimant for the amount claimed, but the burden of proving such defense
shall be on the Corporation. Neither the failure of the Corporation
(including its Board of Directors, stockholders or independent legal
counsel) to have made a determination prior to the commencement of such
action that indemnification of the claimant is proper in the circumstances
because he or she has met the applicable standard of conduct set forth in
the General Corporation Law of the State of Delaware, or any other
applicable law, nor an actual determination by the Corporation (including
its Board of Directors, stockholders or independent legal counsel) that the
claimant has not met such applicable standard of conduct, shall be a
defense to the action or create a presumption that the claimant has not met
the applicable standard of conduct.

(3)  The right to indemnification and the payment of expenses incurred in
defending a proceeding in advance of its final disposition conferred in
this Section (b) shall not be exclusive of any other right which any person
may have or hereafter acquire under any 

6

statute, provision of this Certificate of Incorporation, By-Law, agreement,
vote of stockholders or disinterested directors or otherwise.

(4)  The Corporation may maintain insurance, at its expense, to protect itself
and any director, officer, employee or agent of the Corporation or another
corporation, partnership, joint venture, trust or other enterprise against
any expense, liability or loss, whether or not the Corporation would have
the power to indemnify such person against such expense, liability or loss
under the General Corporation Law of the State of Delaware, or any other
applicable law.

(5)  The Corporation may, to the extent authorized from time to time by the
Board of Directors, grant rights to indemnification, and rights to be paid
by the Corporation the expenses incurred in defending any proceeding in
advance of its final disposition, to any employee or agent of the
Corporation to the fullest extent of the provisions of this Section (b)
with respect to the indemnification and advancement of expenses of
directors and officers of the Corporation.

(6)  Any repeal or modification of this Section (b) by the stockholders of the
Corporation shall not adversely affect any right or protection of a
director, officer, employee or agent of the Corporation existing at the
time of such repeal or modification.

ELEVENTH: In determining whether an "Acquisition Proposal" is in the best
interests of the Corporation and its stockholders, the Board of Directors may,
to the extent permitted by law, consider all factors it deems relevant
including, without limitation, the following:

(a)  The consideration being offered in the Acquisition Proposal, not only in
relation to the then current market price, but also in relation to the then
current value of the Corporation in a freely negotiated transaction and in
relation to the Board of Directors' estimate of the future value of the
Corporation as an independent entity; and

(b)  Such other factors the Board of Directors determines to be relevant,
including among others the social, legal and economic effects upon
employees, suppliers, customers and the communities in which the
Corporation is located, as well as on the long term business prospects of
the Corporation.

"Acquisition Proposal" means any proposal of any person (i) for a tender
offer, exchange offer or any other method of acquiring any equity securities of
the Corporation with a view to acquiring control of the Corporation, (ii) to
merge or consolidate the Corporation with another corporation, or (iii) to
purchase or otherwise acquire all or substantially all of the properties and
assets of the Corporation.

This Article ELEVENTH shall not be interpreted to create any rights on
behalf of third persons, such as employees, suppliers, or customers.

TWELFTH: The Corporation has elected to be governed by Section 203 of the
General Corporation Law of Delaware."

7

SECOND: The Board of Directors of the Corporation, by unanimous written
consent, duly adopted resolutions proposing and approving the Amended and
Restated Certificate of Incorporation of the Corporation and directing that such
Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation be submitted to the
stockholder of the Corporation to consider and adopt the same.

THIRD: Pursuant to Section 228 of the General Corporation Law of the State
of Delaware, the adoption of the Amended and Restated Certificate of
Incorporation was consented to in writing by the holder of the voting power of
all shares of capital stock of the Corporation entitled to vote thereon.

FOURTH: The Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation was duly
adopted in accordance with the provisions of the General Corporation Law of the
State of Delaware.

preference over the common stock as to dividends or upon liquidation,
nominations for the election of directors may be made by the board of directors
or a committee appointed by the board of directors or by any stockholder
entitled to vote in the election of directors generally.  However, any
stockholder entitled to vote in the election of directors generally may nominate
one or more persons for election as directors at a meeting only if written
notice of such stockholder's intent to make such nomination or nominations has
been given, either by personal delivery or by United States mail, postage
prepaid, to the secretary of the Corporation not later than (a) with respect to
an election to be held at an annual meeting of stockholders, one hundred twenty

respect to an election to be held at a special meeting of stockholders for the
election of directors, the close of business on the tenth day following the date
on which notice of such meeting is first given to stockholders.  Each such
notice shall set forth:  (a) the name and address of the stockholder who intends
to make the nomination and of the person or persons to be nominated; (b) a
representation that the stockholder is a holder of record of stock of the
Corporation entitled to vote at such meeting and intends to appear in person or

the stockholder; (d) such other information regarding each nominee proposed by
such stockholder as would be required to be included in a proxy statement filed
pursuant to the proxy rules of the Securities and Exchange Commission; and (e)
the consent of each nominee to serve as a director of the Corporation if so
elected.  The chairman of the meeting may refuse to acknowledge the nomination
of any person not made in compliance with the foregoing procedure.

Section 2. Newly Created Directorships and Vacancies. Except as
otherwise fixed pursuant to the provisions of Article Fourth of the certificate
of incorporation relating to the rights of the holders of any class or series of
stock having a preference over the common stock as to dividends or upon
liquidation to elect directors under specified circumstances, newly created
directorships resulting from any increase in the number of directors and any
vacancies on the board of directors resulting from death, resignation,
disqualification, removal or other cause shall be filled solely by the
affirmative vote of a majority of the remaining directors then in office, even
though less than a quorum of the board of directors. Any director elected in
accordance with the preceding sentence shall hold office for the remainder of
the full term of the class of directors to which such director's predecessor
shall have been elected and qualified. No decrease in the number of directors
constituting the board of directors shall shorten the term of any incumbent
director.

Section 3. Removal. Subject to the rights of any class or series of
stock having a preference over the common stock as to dividends or upon
liquidation to elect directors under specified circumstances, any director may
be removed from office only 

4

for cause and only by the affirmative vote of the holders of 80% of the combined
voting power of the then outstanding shares of stock entitled to vote generally
in the election of directors, voting together as a single class.

Section 4. Regular Meetings. Regular meetings of the board of directors
shall be held at such times and place as the board of directors may from time to
time determine.

may be called by or at the request of the chairman or the president or by an
officer of the Corporation upon the request of a majority of the entire board.
The person or persons authorized to call special meetings of the board of
directors may fix any place, either within or without Delaware, as the place for
holding any special meeting of the board of directors called by them.

Section 6. Notice. Notice of regular meetings of the board of directors
need not be given. Notice of every special meeting of the board of directors
shall be given to each director at his usual place of business, or at such other
address as shall have been furnished by him for the purpose. Such notice shall
be given at least twenty-four hours before the meeting by telephone, by personal
delivery, by commercial courier, by mail or by facsimile transmission. Such
notice need not include a statement of the business to be transacted at, or the
purpose of, any such meeting.

Section 7. Quorum. A majority of the entire board shall constitute a
quorum for the transaction of business at any meeting of the board of directors,
provided, that if less than a majority of the entire board is present at said
meeting, a majority of the directors present may adjourn the meeting from time
to time until a quorum is obtained without further notice. The act of the
majority of the directors present at a meeting at which a quorum is present
shall be the act of the board of directors unless the act of a greater number is
required by the certificate of incorporation or the by-laws of the Corporation.

Section 8. Compensation. Directors who are also full time employees of
the Corporation shall not receive any compensation for their services as
directors but they may be reimbursed for reasonable expenses of attendance. By
resolution of the board of directors, all other directors may receive either an
annual fee or a fee for each meeting attended, or both, and expenses of
attendance, if any, at each regular or special meeting of the board of directors
or of a committee of the board of directors; provided, that nothing herein
contained shall be construed to preclude any director from serving the
Corporation in any other capacity and receiving compensation therefor.

Section 9. Committees. The board of directors may, by resolution passed
by a majority of the entire board, designate one or more committees, each
committee to consist of two or more of the directors of the Corporation, which,
to the extent provided in the resolution, shall have and may exercise the powers
of the board of directors in the management of the business and affairs of the
Corporation and may authorize the seal of 

5

the Corporation to be affixed to all papers which may require it. Such committee
or committees shall have such name or names as may be determined from time to
time by resolution adopted by the board of directors. Each committee shall keep
regular minutes of its meetings and report the same to the board of directors
when required.

Section 10. Director Emeritus. The board of directors may by resolution
appoint any former director who has retired from the board of directors as a

Ladies and Gentlemen:

We have acted as counsel to Allscripts Healthcare Solutions, Inc., a
Delaware corporation (the "Company"), in connection with the preparation and
filing by the Company of a Registration Statement on Form S-4 (Registration No.
333-49568) (the "Registration Statement") under the Securities Act of 1933, as
amended, relating to certain shares (the "Shares") of the common stock, par
value $.01 per share, of the Company.  The Shares will be issued and sold
pursuant to an Agreement and Plan of Merger (the "Merger Agreement"), dated as
of July 13, 2000, by and among the Company, Allscripts, Inc., Bursar
Acquisition, Inc. ("Bursar"), Bursar Acquisition No. 2 ("Bursar No. 2"), Inc.,
IDX Systems Corporation and Channelhealth Incorporated ("Channelhealth"),
whereby Bursar, a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company, will merge with and
into the Company and Bursar No. 2, a wholly owned subsidiary of the Company,
will merge with and into Channelhealth by means of the merger described therein
(the "Merger").  Capitalized terms defined in the Merger Agreement and used (but
not otherwise defined) herein are used herein as so defined.

In so acting, we have examined originals or copies (certified or otherwise
identified to our satisfaction) of certain corporate records of the Company,
including its Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation, as amended, its
Bylaws, and certain resolutions of the Board of Directors of the Company.  We
have also examined the Registration Statement, together with the exhibits
thereto, and such agreements, documents and other instruments, and such
certificates or comparable documents of public officials and of officers and
representatives of the Company, and have made such inquiries of such officers
and representatives, as we have deemed relevant and necessary as a basis for the
opinions hereinafter set forth.  We have reviewed such questions of law as we
have considered necessary or appropriate for the purposes of this opinion.

In such examination, we have assumed the genuineness of all
signatures, the legal capacity of all natural persons, the authenticity of all
documents submitted to us as originals, the conformity to original documents of
all documents submitted to us as certified, conformed or photostatic copies and
the authenticity of the originals of such latter documents.  As to all questions
of fact material to these opinions that have not been independently established,
we have relied upon certificates or comparable documents of officers and
representatives of the Company.

Based on the foregoing, and subject to the qualifications stated
herein, we are of the opinion that:

1.  When the conditions to the merger set forth in the Merger
Agreement have been satisfied (including that the Registration Statement has
become effective under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended) and the Merger
has been effected in accordance therewith, the shares of Common Stock issued in
exchange for shares of common stock of Channelhealth pursuant to the Merger
Agreement will be duly authorized, validly issued, fully paid and non-
assessable.

Registration Statement and to any and all references to our firm in the Proxy
Statement/Prospectus which is a part of the Registration Statement.

Allscripts, Inc.

Ladies & Gentlemen:

You have requested our opinion regarding certain federal income tax
consequences of the merger (the "Merger") of Bursar Acquisition, Inc.
("Bursar"), a Delaware corporation and direct wholly-owned subsidiary of
Allscripts Healthcare Solutions, Inc., a Delaware corporation, formerly known as
Allscripts Holding, Inc. ("New Allscripts"), with and into Allscripts, Inc., a
Delaware corporation (the "Company").

In formulating our opinion, we examined such documents as we deemed
appropriate, including the Agreement and Plan of Merger dated as of July 13,
2000, as amended from time to time, by and among New Allscripts, Bursar, the
Company, Channelhealth Incorporated, a Delaware corporation ("Channelhealth"),
IDX Systems Corporation, a Vermont corporation ("IDX") and Bursar Acquisition
No.2, Inc., a Delaware corporation (the "Merger Agreement"), the Proxy Statement
(the "Proxy Statement") filed by Allscripts with the Securities and Exchange
Commission (the "SEC") and the Registration Statement on Form S-4, as filed by
New Allscripts with the SEC on November 8, 2000, as amended, in which the Proxy
Statement is included as a prospectus (with all amendments thereto, the
"Registration Statement").  In addition, we have obtained such additional
information as we deemed relevant and necessary through consultation with
various officers and representatives of New Allscripts and Allscripts.  Any
capitalized term not defined herein shall have the meaning assigned to such term
in the Merger Agreement.

Our opinion set forth below assumes (1) the accuracy of the statements
and facts concerning the Merger set forth in the Merger Agreement, the Proxy
Statement and the Registration Statement, (2) the consummation of the Merger in
the manner contemplated by, and in accordance with the terms set forth in, the
Merger Agreement, the Proxy Statement and the Registration Statement, (3) the
accuracy as of the Effective Time of (a) the representations made by New
Allscripts and Bursar which are set forth in 

Allscripts, Inc.
December 6, 2000

the certificate delivered to us by New Allscripts, dated the date hereof, (b)
the representations made by Allscripts which are set forth in the certificate
delivered to us by Allscripts, dated the date hereof, (c) the representations
made by Channelhealth which are set forth in the certificate delivered to us by
Channelhealth, dated the date hereof, and (d) the representation made by IDX
which is set forth in the certificate delivered to us by IDX, dated the date
hereof, (4) that any representations made in such certificates that are
qualified by knowledge or a qualification of like import at the Effective Time
will be accurate without such qualification, and (5) no change in law applicable
to the Merger from the date hereof through the Effective Time.

Based upon the facts and statements set forth above, our examination
and review of the documents referred to above and subject to the assumptions set
forth above and the discussion set forth below, we are of the opinion that:

1.  The Merger will constitute a reorganization within the meaning of
Section 368(a) of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the "Code");
and

2.  The discussion included in the Registration Statement under the
caption "THE TRANSACTION - United States Federal Income Tax Consequences -
Federal Income Tax Implications to Allscripts Stockholders," insofar as it
constitutes statements of federal income tax law or legal conclusions and except
to the extent qualified therein, is accurate in all material respects.

We express no opinion concerning any tax consequences of the Merger
other than those specifically set forth herein.

Our opinion is based on current provisions of the Code, the Treasury
Regulations promulgated thereunder, published pronouncements of the Internal
Revenue Service and case law, any of which may be changed at any time with
retroactive effect.  Any change in applicable laws or facts and circumstances
surrounding the Merger, or any inaccuracy in the statements, facts, assumptions
and representations on which we have relied, may affect the continuing validity
of the opinions set forth herein.  We assume no responsibility to inform you of
any such change or inaccuracy that may occur or come to our attention.

Re:  Merger pursuant to Agreement and Plan of Merger by and among
Allscripts Healthcare Solutions, Inc., Allscripts, Inc., Bursar
Acquisition, Inc., Bursar Acquisition No. 2, Inc., IDX Systems
Corporation and Channelhealth Incorporated

Ladies and Gentlemen:

This opinion is being delivered to you in connection with filing of a
registration statement (the "Registration Statement") on Form S-4, which
includes the proxy statement/prospectus relating to the Agreement and Plan of
Merger dated as of July 13, 2000 (the "Merger Agreement"), by and among
Allscripts Healthcare Solutions, Inc. (formerly known as Allscripts Holding,
Inc.), a Delaware corporation ("Parent"), Allscripts, Inc., a Delaware
corporation ("Allscripts"), Bursar Acquisition, Inc., a Delaware corporation
("SubA"), Bursar Acquisition No. 2, Inc., a Delaware corporation ("SubB"), IDX
Systems Corporation, a Vermont Corporation ("IDX"), and Channelhealth
Incorporated, a Delaware corporation ("Channelhealth"). Pursuant to the Merger
Agreement, SubA will merge with and into Allscripts (the "Allscripts Merger")
and SubB will merge with and into Channelhealth (the "Channelhealth Merger" and,
together with the Allscripts Merger, the "Mergers"). Except as otherwise
provided, capitalized terms not defined herein have the meanings set forth in
the Merger Agreement and the exhibits thereto or in the letters delivered to
Hale and Dorr LLP by Parent, Allscripts, Channelhealth and IDX containing
certain representations of Parent, Allscripts, Channelhealth and IDX relevant to
this opinion (the "Representation Letters"). All section references, unless
otherwise indicated, are to the United States Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as
amended (the "Code").

In our capacity as counsel to IDX in the Mergers, and for purposes of
rendering this opinion, we have examined and relied upon the Merger Agreement
and the exhibits thereto, the Registration Statement, the Representation
Letters, and such other documents as we considered relevant to our analysis.  In
our examination of documents, we have assumed the authenticity of original
documents, the accuracy of copies, the genuineness of signatures, and the legal
capacity of signatories.

We have assumed that all parties to the Merger Agreement and to any other
documents examined by us have acted, and will act, in accordance with the terms
of such Merger Agreement and documents and that the Mergers will be consummated
at the Effective Time pursuant to the terms and conditions set forth in the
Merger Agreement without the waiver or modification of any such terms and
conditions.  Furthermore, we have assumed that all representations contained in
the Merger Agreement, as well as those representations contained in the
Representation Letters, are, and at the Effective Time will be, true and
complete in all material respects, and that any representation made in any of
the documents referred to herein "to the best of the knowledge and belief" (or
similar qualification) of any person or party is, and at the Effective Time will
be, correct without such qualification.  We have also assumed that as to all
matters for which a person or entity has represented that such person or entity
is not a party to, does not have, or is not aware of, any plan, intention,
understanding, or agreement, there is no such plan, intention, understanding, or
agreement.  We have not attempted to verify independently such representations,
but in the course of our representation, nothing has come to our attention that
would cause us to question the accuracy thereof.

The conclusions expressed herein represent our judgment as to the proper
treatment of certain aspects of the Channelhealth Merger under the income tax
laws of the United States based upon the Code, Treasury Regulations, case law,
and rulings and other pronouncements of the Internal Revenue Service (the "IRS")
as in effect on the date of this opinion.  No assurances can be given that such
laws will not be amended or otherwise changed prior to the Effective Time, or at
any other time, or that such changes will not affect the conclusions expressed
herein.  Nevertheless, we undertake no responsibility to advise you of any
developments after the Effective Time in the application or interpretation of
the income tax laws of the United States.

Our opinion represents our best judgment of how a court would decide if
presented with the issues addressed herein and is not binding upon either the
IRS or any court.  Thus, no assurances can be given that a position taken in
reliance on our opinion will not be challenged by the IRS or rejected by a
court.

This opinion addresses only the specific United States federal income tax
consequences of the Channelhealth Merger set forth below, and does not address
any other federal, state, local, or foreign income, estate, gift, transfer,
sales, use, or other tax consequences that may result from the Channelhealth
Merger or any other transaction (including any transaction undertaken in
connection with the Channelhealth Merger).  We express no opinion regarding the
tax consequences of the Channelhealth Merger to shareholders of Channelhealth
that are subject to special tax rules, we express no opinion regarding the tax
consequences of the Channelhealth Merger arising in connection with the
ownership of options or warrants for Channelhealth stock, we express no opinion
regarding the tax consequences of the sale of the Earnout Shares, and we
express no opinion regarding the tax consequences of the Allscripts Merger.

On the basis of, and subject to, the foregoing, and in reliance upon the
representations and assumptions described above, we are of the opinion that (i)
the exchange of Channelhealth stock for Parent stock pursuant to the
Channelhealth Merger will constitute an exchange within the meaning of Section
351, and (ii) the discussion in the Registration Statement under the heading

IDX Systems Corporation
December 6, 2000
Page 3

"United States Federal Income Tax Consequences" is accurate in all material
respects, provided, however, that we express no opinion regarding the accuracy
of the discussion as it relates to the federal income tax implications of the
Mergers to Allscripts stockholders. No opinion is expressed as to any federal
income tax consequence of the Channelhealth Merger except as specifically set
forth herein, and this opinion may not be relied upon except with respect to the
consequences specifically discussed herein.

This opinion is intended solely for the purpose of inclusion as an exhibit
to the Registration Statement.  It may not be relied upon for any other purpose
or by any other person or entity, and may not be made available to any other
person or entity without our prior written consent.  We hereby consent to the
filing of this opinion as an exhibit to the Registration Statement and further
consent to the use of our name in the Registration Statement in connection with
references to this opinion and the tax consequences of the Channelhealth Merger.
In giving this consent, however, we do not hereby admit that we are in the
category of persons whose consent is required under Section 7 of the Securities
Act of 1933, as amended.

of a termination of the Employment Period on the Effective Termination
Date or the Expiration Date, as applicable.  Such consequences are as
follows:

(i) Termination Without Cause or for Good Reason. If the Company
exercises its right to terminate the Employment Period prior to
the Expiration Date without Cause, or if Employee exercises her
right to terminate the Employment Period prior to the Expiration
Date for good reason, the Company shall be obligated to pay
Employee (a) any Base Salary that was accrued but not yet paid as
of the Effective Termination Date; and (b) as severance pay, the
continuation of the Employee's Base Salary for a period of twelve
(12) months following such termination, 

5

payable in equal monthly installments (such amount to be payable
regardless of whether (x) Employee obtains other employment and
is compensated therefor, or (y) Employee dies prior to the
expiration of such twelve month severance period, but only for
so long as Employee is not in violation of Section V hereof).
The foregoing notwithstanding, the parties acknowledge and agree
that the severance payments to be made pursuant to (b) above
shall be expressly conditioned upon the Employee's execution of
an agreement that releases the Company from actions, suits,
claims, proceedings and demands related to the period of
employment and/or the termination of employment.

(ii)  Termination With Cause, Without Good Reason or Upon Expiration
Date If the Employee's employment terminates upon the Expiration
Date, or if the Company exercises its right to terminate the
Employment Period with Cause or if Employee exercises her right
to terminate the Employment Period without good reason, the
Company shall be obligated to pay Employee any Base Salary that
was accrued but not yet paid as of the Effective Termination
Date.

(iii) Termination Upon Death or Disability. If the Employment Period
is terminated because of the death or disability of Employee,
the Company shall be obligated to pay Employee or, if
applicable, Employee's estate any Base Salary that was accrued
but not yet paid as of the Effective Termination Date.

V.  NONCOMPETITION AND CONFIDENTIALITY

A. For purposes of this Agreement, the term "Direct Competitor" shall mean
any person or entity engaged (i) in the business of marketing or
providing within the continental United States prescription products or
services or pharmacy benefit management products or services, including,
without limitation, prepackaged prescription products or services, point
of care pharmacy dispensing systems, mail service pharmacy products or
services, or pharmaceuticals or pharmaceutical delivery systems or (ii)
in any business activity in which the Company was actively engaged during
the Employment Period or any other business activity which the Company
was actively pursuing during the six month period prior to the
termination of the Employment Period.

B. During the Employment Period and for a period of one (1) year after the
termination, for any reason, of the Employment Period, Employee shall
not, (i) directly or indirectly act in concert or conspire with any
person employed by the Company in order to engage in or prepare to engage
in or to have a financial or other interest in any business which is a
Direct Competitor; (ii) serve as an employee, agent, partner,
shareholder, director or consultant for, or in any other capacity
participate, engage or have a financial or other interest in any business
which is a Direct Competitor (provided, however, that notwithstanding
anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement, Employee may own up
to 2% of the outstanding shares of the capital stock of a company whose
securities are registered under Section 12 of the Securities Exchange Act
of 1934); (iii) solicit, or accept if offered to her, with or without
solicitation, on her own behalf or on behalf of any other person, the
services of any person who is an employee of the Company, nor solicit any
of the Company's employees to terminate employment with the Company, nor
agree to hire any employee of the Company into employment with herself or
any company, individual or other entity; or (iv) directly or indirectly
contact, solicit or direct any person or entity to contact or solicit,
any of the Company's customers for the purpose of selling products or
services that are the same as or substantially similar to the products or
services provided by the Company to its customers at any time during the
Employment Period.

C. The Company has advised Employee and Employee acknowledges that it is the
policy of the Company to maintain as secret and confidential all
Protected Information (as defined below), and that Protected Information
has been and will be developed at substantial cost and effort to the
Company. Employee shall not at any time, directly or indirectly, divulge,
furnish or make accessible to any person, firm, corporation, association
or other entity (otherwise than as may be required in the regular course
of Employee's employment), nor use in any manner, either during the
Employment Period or after the termination, for any reason, of the
Employment Period, any Protected Information, or cause any such
information of 

7

the Company to enter the public domain. "Protected Information" means
trade secrets, confidential and proprietary business information of the
Company, and any other information of the Company, including but not
limited to, customer lists (including potential customers), sources of
supply, processes, plans, materials, pricing information, internal
memoranda, marketing plans, internal policies, and products and services
which may be developed from time to time by the Company and its agents or
employees, including Employee; provided, however, that information that
is in the public domain (other than as a result of a breach of this
Agreement), approved for release by the Company or lawfully obtained from
third parties who are not bound by a confidentiality agreement with the
Company, is not Protected Information.

D. The Employee recognizes and agrees that all ideas, inventions,
enhancements, plans, writings, and other developments or improvements
(the "INVENTIONS") conceived by the Employee, alone or with others,
during the term of her employment, whether or not during working hours,
that are within the scope of the Company's business operations or that
relate to any of the Company's work or projects, are the sole and
exclusive property of the Company. The Employee further agrees that (1)
she will promptly disclose all Inventions to the Company and hereby
assigns to the Company all present and future rights she has or may have
in those Inventions, including without limitation those relating to
patent, copyright, trademark or trade secrets; and (2) all of the
Inventions eligible under the copyright laws are "work made for hire." At
the request of and without charge to the Company, the Employee will do
all things deemed by the Company to be reasonably necessary to perfect
title to the Inventions in the Company and to assist in obtaining for the
Company such patents, copyrights or other protection as may be provided
under law and desired by the Company. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the
Company hereby notifies the Employee that the provisions of this Section
V(D) shall not apply to any Inventions for which no equipment, supplies,
facility or trade secret information of the Company was used and which
were developed entirely on the Employee's own time, unless (1) the
Invention relates (i) to the business of the Company, or (ii) to actual
or demonstrably anticipated research or development of the Company, or
(2) the Invention results from any work performed by the Employee for the
Company.

E. Employee acknowledges and agrees that the restrictions imposed upon her
by this Section V and the purpose for such restrictions are reasonable
and are designed to protect the Protected Information and the continued
success of the Company without unduly restricting Employee's future
employment by others. Furthermore, Employee acknowledges that in view of
the Protected Information of the Company which she has or will acquire or
has or will have access to and the necessity of the restrictions
contained in this Section V, any violation of the provisions of this
Section V would cause irreparable injury to the Company and its
successors in interest with respect to the resulting disruption in their
operations. By reason of the foregoing, Employee consents and agrees that
if she violates any of the provisions of this Section V, the Company and
its successors in interest as the case may be, shall be entitled, in
addition to any other remedies 

8

that they may have, including monetary damages, to an injunction to be
issued by a court of competent jurisdiction, restraining Employee from
committing or continuing any violation of this Section V.
