Frequently Asked Questions

For Internal Use Only

Merger Overview

What was announced?

 

  •  

Allscripts and Eclipsys, leading providers of software and information solutions in the ambulatory and acute markets, respectively, will merge to form one company with the industry’s largest network of clients on the most advanced product platform resulting in a single patient record and a seamless patient experience.

 

  •  

With a client base of 180,000 U.S. physicians, 1,500 hospitals and 10,000 post acute care organizations, the merged company will have the unprecedented ability to seamlessly connect physicians, other care providers and patients no matter where care is delivered—in the hospital, in large or small physician practices, in extended care facilities or in the patient’s home.

 

  •  

The combined company will have approximately 5,500 employees, with a focus on delivering value each and every day for our clients.

 

  •  

Additionally, we announced that Allscripts will buy back and facilitate a placement of a majority of the Allscripts stock currently held by Misys plc. Allscripts will retain full control of the legacy Misys Healthcare business, which became part of Allscripts in connection with the October 2008 merger transaction between Allscripts and Misys plc.

 

  •  

To put this in perspective, this $1.3 billion transaction will create an entity with over $1.2 billion in revenue.

What is the strategic rationale for this agreement?

 

  •  

The merged company will have the unique ability to seamlessly connect physicians, other care providers and patients wherever care is delivered—in the hospital, in large or small physician practices, in extended care facilities or in the patient’s home.

  •  

This merger responds directly to the segment of the market that demands a true, end-to-end, integrated solution. By bringing these two companies together, we will be combining the best of the best within our respective product lines, to create a true market leader.

 

  •  

This agreement creates a client base of 180,000 U.S. physicians, 1,500 hospitals and 10,000 post acute care organizations.

 

  •  

Given that “Meaningful Use” is the key to unlocking over $30 billion in funding for healthcare providers under the Federal Government’s American Recovery and Reinvestment Act (“ARRA”), the fact that we are combining two leaders in adoption and utilization both in inpatient electronic health records and physician office electronic health records is a critical point of leverage, not just for the new company but for our clients.

 

  •  

Following this merger, the company will be able to more effectively compete for the $16 billion integrated market that is looking for an integrated ambulatory and acute solution that addresses the need for a connected community, a market that both companies were able to target in a limited manner as independent companies.

Why now?

 

  •  

We are at the beginning of what we expect will be the single fastest transformation of any industry in US history.

 

  •  

Healthcare information technology is a $40+ billion HCIT market with very low penetration rates (12% of physician practices and 11% of hospitals using an EHR).

 

  •  

Physician EHR adoption is projected to grow, from 12 percent today to 90 percent by 2019, according to the Congressional Budget Office’s (CBO) March 2009 report, “Options for Controlling the Cost and Increasing the Efficiency of Health Care.” The CBO report also projects hospital adoption of acute-care EHRs will increase from 11% today to 70% during the same time period. While we think the estimates on current penetration are low, the bottom line is that there is a significant amount of upside in the market.

 

  •  

With over 50% of ambulatory physicians now employed by hospitals as opposed to working independently, hospitals are playing an increasingly larger role in driving adoption of, and helping to subsidize physician purchases of, EHRs through the Stark Safe Harbor and community initiatives.

 

  •  

The ARRA is providing $30+ billion of incentives for utilization of EHR solutions, with 70% of anticipated funding expected to be spent in the next three years.

How will the combined company be unique in the market?

 

  •  

The merger of Allscripts and Eclipsys will bring a unique value proposition for healthcare organizations:

 

  •  

One Network. With a client base of 180,000 physicians, 1,500 hospitals and 10,000 post acute organizations, our combined company will form the largest network in healthcare. This significant footprint will enable us to connect providers and patients wherever care is delivered—in the hospital, in small or large physician practices, in extended care facilities or in the patient’s home.

  •  

One Platform. Both companies already use common platforms, including Microsoft.NET and other advanced technologies, which will enable us to quickly deliver an integrated offering. We will bring together the Allscripts industry-leading electronic health record, practice management and comprehensive portfolio of solutions for physicians and post acute care organizations with Eclipsys’s leading enterprise and performance management solutions for hospitals. In addition to connecting our own solutions, we will lead with an ‘open architecture’ approach that will simplify connectivity with third-party applications.

 

  •  

One Patient. Combining one network of clients on one platform, Allscripts and Eclipsys will be positioned to deliver a single patient record to all providers within an organization and across a community. By bringing to market a complete portfolio of clinical, financial, connectivity and information solutions, the company will enable the delivery of the information and insight providers need to create a seamless patient experience with improved care at a lower cost.

Why is this good for our clients?

 

  •  

Combines the leading ambulatory and acute solutions into a comprehensive, end-to-end, integrated portfolio of solutions for healthcare organizations of every size and setting. In addition to connecting our own solutions, our ‘open architecture’ approach will simplify connectivity with third-party applications.

 

  •  

Brings to market a complete and enhanced portfolio of clinical, financial, connectivity, and information solutions.

 

  •  

Accelerates a rapid implementation approach that both companies share enabling our clients to quickly attain “Meaningful Use.”

 

  •  

Continues our shared track record of innovation to deliver ‘future state’ clinical and financial informatics capabilities that will enable clients to provide higher quality care and operate more efficiently.

 

  •  

Connects clients to a network of 180,000 U.S. physicians, 1,500 hospitals and 10,000 nursing homes, hospices, home care and other post acute care organizations to support enhanced care collaboration and efficiency.

Who will lead the new company?

 

  •  

Glen Tullman, current Chief Executive Officer of Allscripts, will lead the combined company as its CEO.

 

  •  

Phil Pead, current Chief Executive Officer of Eclipsys, will become Chairman of the Board of the combined company.

 

  •  

Bill Davis, current Chief Financial Officer of Allscripts, will be the combined company’s CFO.

  •  

Chris Perkins, current Chief Financial Officer of Eclipsys, will lead the Integration Team for the transaction.

 

  •  

The remainder of the leadership team will be drawn from across Allscripts and Eclipsys and will be defined as we work to complete the merger.

Where will the new company be located?

 

  •  

The combined company will continue to operate out of both Allscripts and Eclipsys office locations, including major facilities in Chicago, Atlanta, and Raleigh.

When will the merger close so that Allscripts and Eclipsys can begin to operate as a single company?

 

  •  

The merger is subject to stockholder approvals from both Allscripts and Eclipsys, and other customary closing conditions and regulatory approvals and is expected to be completed within four to six months.

 

  •  

Allscripts and Eclipsys have been and will continue to work with the joint clients we have today.

 

  •  

An Integration Team comprised of employees from both organizations will be put in place to ensure that the combined company reflects the strengths of both Allscripts and Eclipsys.

 

  •  

Until the transaction closes we will continue to operate as two separate organizations, just as we do today.

What will be the name and brand of the new company?

 

  •  

Until this transaction is formally completed, both companies will continue to operate separately as they do today, using their current names and brands.

 

  •  

During the post-closing integration process, we will assess and determine the best go-forward approach leveraging the strengths of our respective brands.

When will decisions relative to the product roadmaps and integration be made?

 

  •  

This merger is about providing incremental value to the products Allscripts and Eclipsys’s clients already own and have made investments in. This agreement is going to accelerate our abilities to evolve our products.

 

  •  

Independent of this merger, Allscripts and Eclipsys had already started the process of integrating our respective solutions based on requests from our mutual clients.

 

  •  

The fact that we share a common Microsoft platform will enable us to quickly deliver robust data sharing and exchange.

 

  •  

Eclipsys has an open integration platform with its Helios solution and Allscripts shares the same open approach with its Universal Application Integrator (UAI) solution.

  •  

As there is very little product overlap between the two companies, our intention is to continue to drive forward on all product lines in both organizations at this time.

 

  •  

Over time, however, we will look for opportunities to bring our portfolios together where appropriate and where we can add value for our clients, while ensuring that the upgrade process from one solution to the next is seamless.

What will become my date of hire with new company? Do I lose my tenure/years of service?

Your date of hire remains the same. Your tenure and years of service will not be impacted.

Will my manager change?

Since we have just signed a definitive agreement we do not have this kind of information to share. Over the next several months, as we work to close the transaction, the integration team will work to identify the optimal structure for the organization to deliver on its commitments to its key stakeholders, shareholders, clients and employees.

Will new company offer the same benefit package?

The Talent and Culture and Benefits teams from both Allscripts and Eclipsys are working to provide the best benefits packages for all employees. A combined, larger company would, in fact, be better positioned to negotiate attractive, competitive employee benefits.

Will my unvested stocks immediately vest?

There is no impact to the current vesting schedule of stock for employees of either Allscripts or Eclipsys. The definitive agreement includes an exchange ratio which determines the number of Allscripts shares that will be issued to each Eclipsys stockholder upon the closing of the transaction.

I have vacation planned that I have not taken. Will l still be able to take my vacation?

Yes. You will be able to take planned vacation days.

Where can I go for more specific answers to my concerns?

It is important to understand that this merger is complementary. In the few areas where there are similar solutions, we will continue to honor all of our commitments. Over time we see opportunities to further enhance these systems by creating the best mix of solutions for our clients. As you would expect, our portfolio will continue to evolve and we are in the fortunate position to have these proven systems to draw from. Our focus throughout will be to enhance the value to our clients and focus on a seamless client experience through all future upgrades.
