                                Explanatory Note

   Effective January 8, 2001, Allscripts, Inc. acquired Channelhealth
Incorporated, and each became a wholly owned subsidiary of a new holding
company, Allscripts Healthcare Solutions, Inc. In this proxy statement, we will
refer to Allscripts, Inc. as Old Allscripts and to Allscripts Healthcare
Solutions, Inc. as Allscripts or New Allscripts. As a result of the merger
transaction, each outstanding share of Old Allscripts common stock was
converted into one share of New Allscripts common stock. Old Allscripts no
longer files reports with the Securities and Exchange Commission, and its
common stock is no longer listed on the Nasdaq National Market; however, New
Allscripts does file reports with the Securities and Exchange Commission, and
its common stock is listed on the Nasdaq National Market under the symbol
"MDRX".

   This proxy statement and form of proxy are first being sent to stockholders
on or about March 30, 2001.


                             Questions and Answers

What am I voting on?

   We are soliciting your vote on the election of two directors to each serve
for a three-year term.

Who may vote?

   Allscripts stockholders at the close of business on March 16, 2001, the
record date, are entitled to vote. On that date, there were 37,988,218 shares
of Allscripts common stock outstanding.

How many votes do I have?

   Each share of Allscripts common stock that you own entitles you to one vote.

How do I vote?

   All stockholders may vote by mail. You also may be able to vote by telephone
or over the Internet. To vote by mail, please sign, date and mail your proxy in
the postage paid envelope provided. If you hold your shares through a bank or
broker and they do not offer telephone or Internet voting, please complete and
return your proxy by mail. If you attend the Annual Meeting in person and would
like to vote then, we will give you a ballot. If your shares are held in the
name of your broker, bank or other nominee, you need to bring an account
statement or letter from the nominee indicating that you were the beneficial
owner of the shares on March 16, 2001, the record date for voting.

How does discretionary voting authority apply?

   If you sign, date and return your proxy card, your vote will be cast as you
direct. If you do not indicate how you want to vote, you give authority to Glen
E. Tullman and David B. Mullen to vote for the items discussed in these proxy
materials and any other matter that is properly raised at the Annual Meeting.
In such a case, your vote will be cast FOR the election of each director
nominee and FOR or AGAINST any other properly raised matters at the discretion
of Messrs. Tullman and Mullen.

May I revoke my proxy?

   You may revoke your proxy at any time before it is exercised in one of four
ways:

     1. Notify our Secretary in writing before the Annual Meeting that you
  are revoking your proxy.

     2. Submit another proxy with a later date.

     3. Vote by telephone or Internet after you have given your proxy.

     4. Vote in person at the Annual Meeting.


What does it mean if I receive more than one proxy card?

   Your shares are likely registered differently or are in more than one
account. You should sign and return all proxy cards to guarantee that all of
your shares are voted.

What constitutes a quorum?

   The presence, in person or by proxy, of the holders of one-third of the
total number of shares of Allscripts common stock issued and outstanding
constitutes a quorum. You will be considered part of the quorum if you return a
signed and dated proxy card, if you vote by telephone or over the Internet, or
if you attend the Annual Meeting.

   Abstentions and broker non-votes are counted as "shares present" at the
Annual Meeting for purposes of determining whether a quorum exists. A broker
non-vote occurs when a broker submits a proxy that does not indicate a vote for
a proposal because he or she does not have voting authority and has not
received voting instructions from you.

What vote is required to approve the proposal?

   A majority of the shares present or represented by proxy at the Annual
Meeting must approve the election of the directors. If you do not want to vote
your shares for a particular nominee, you may indicate that in the space
provided on the proxy card or withhold authority as prompted during telephone
or Internet voting. Abstentions will have the effect of votes against the
election of the directors since they result in fewer votes for approval, but
broker non-votes will have no effect.

How do I submit a stockholder proposal?

   You must submit a proposal to be included in our proxy statement for the
2001 annual meeting of stockholders in writing no later than November 30, 2001.
Your proposal must comply with the proxy rules of the Securities and Exchange
Commission. You should send your proposal to our Secretary at our address on
the cover of this proxy statement.

   You also may submit a proposal that you do not want included in the proxy
statement but that you want to raise at the 2001 annual meeting of
stockholders. We must receive your proposal in writing after December 1, 2001
but before December 31, 2001. If you submit your proposal after the deadline
and we choose to consider it at the meeting, then Securities and Exchange
Commission rules permit the individuals named in the proxies solicited by our
board of directors for that meeting to exercise discretionary voting power as
to that proposal. To be properly brought before an annual meeting, our by-laws
require that your proposal give: (1) a brief description of the business you
want to bring before the meeting; (2) your name and address as they appear on
our stock records; (3) the class and number of shares of Allscripts that you
beneficially own; and (4) any interest you may have in the business you want to
bring before the meeting. You should send your proposal to our Secretary at the
address on the cover of this proxy statement.

                                       2


How do I nominate a director?

   If you wish to recommend a nominee for director for the 2001 annual meeting
of stockholders, our Secretary must receive your written nomination after
December 1, 2001 but before December 31, 2001. You should submit your proposal
to the Secretary at our address on the cover of this proxy statement. Our by-
laws require that you provide: (1) your name and address and the name and
address of the nominee; (2) a statement that you are a record holder of
Allscripts common stock entitled to vote at the meeting and that you plan to
appear in person or by proxy at the meeting to make the nomination; (3) a
description of all arrangements or understandings under which you are making
the nominations; (4) any other information that the rules of the Securities and
Exchange Commission require to be included in a proxy statement; and (5) the
nominee's agreement to serve as a director if elected.

Who pays to prepare, mail and solicit the proxies?

   We will pay all of the costs of preparing, mailing and soliciting these
proxies. We will ask brokers, banks, voting trustees and other nominees and
fiduciaries to forward the proxy materials to the beneficial owners of our
common stock and to obtain the authority to execute proxies. We will reimburse
them for their reasonable expenses upon request. In addition to mailing proxy
materials, our directors, officers and employees may solicit proxies in person,
by telephone or otherwise. These individuals will not be specially compensated.

                             Election of Directors

   Eight directors currently serve on New Allscripts' board of directors. Other
than Richard E. Tarrant, each of the directors served on Old Allscripts' board.
All eight directors joined the board of New Allscripts upon the completion of
the Channelhealth merger transaction in January 2001. The directors are divided
into three classes. At this Annual Meeting, you will be asked to elect two
directors. Each director will serve for a term of three years, until a
qualified successor director has been elected, or until he resigns or is
removed by the board. The remaining six directors will continue to serve on the
board as described below, except that Mr. Lytle has informed us that he intends
to resign after the Annual Meeting. The nominees, Michael J. Kluger and David
B. Mullen, are currently directors.

   Your shares will be voted as you specify on the enclosed proxy card or in
telephone or Internet voting. If you do not specify how you want your shares
voted, we will vote them FOR the election of Messrs. Kluger and Mullen. If
unforeseen circumstances (such as death or disability) make it necessary for
the board of directors to substitute another person for a nominee, your shares
will be voted FOR that other person. The board does not anticipate that any
nominee will be unable to serve. The nominees and continuing directors have
provided the following information about themselves.

               Meetings and Committees of the Board of Directors

   During 2000, the board of directors of Old Allscripts met 13 times. In
addition to meetings of the full board, directors attended meetings of the
board committees. Old Allscripts had, and New Allscripts has, effective upon
consummation of the Channelhealth merger transactions in January 2001, standing
audit and compensation committees. In 2000, each Old Allscripts director, other
than Edward M. Philip, attended at least 75% of the meetings of the board and
of the committees on which he served that were held during the period for which
he was a director.

   Like Old Allscripts' audit committee, the New Allscripts' audit committee
recommends the independent auditors to the board and oversees the accounting
and audit functions of the company. L. Ben Lytle, M. Fazle Husain (since April
2000) and Michael J. Kluger (since May 2000) served on Old Allscripts' audit
committee in 2000, and the same individuals serve on the New Allscripts' audit
committee. As the Old Allscripts audit committee had, the New Allscripts
committee has adopted a charter, which specifies the composition and
responsibilities of the committee. The charter is attached to this proxy
statement as Appendix A. Additional information on the committee and its
activities is set forth in the "Report of the Audit Committee". During 2000,
the Old Allscripts committee met eight times.

   As the Old Allscripts compensation committee had, the compensation committee
of New Allscripts determines executive officers' salaries, bonuses and other
compensation and administers our Amended and Restated 1993 Stock Incentive Plan
and our 2001 Nonstatutory Stock Option Plan. M. Fazle Husain, Michael J. Kluger
and L. Ben Lytle served on Old Allscripts' compensation committee, and the same
individuals serve on New Allscripts' compensation committee. During 2000, the
Old Allscripts committee met three times.

                             Director Compensation

   Directors who are Allscripts employees receive no compensation for their
services as directors. Our independent directors receive a fee of $1,000 for
each meeting of the board of directors that they attend. We also reimburse them
for their travel expenses. Under our Amended and Restated 1993 Stock Incentive
Plan, these directors are eligible to receive stock option grants at the
discretion of the board of directors or the compensation committee.

                      Ownership of Allscripts Common Stock

   The following table shows how much Allscripts common stock was beneficially
owned as of March 16, 2001 by:

  .  our Chief Executive Officer and the four other most highly compensated
     executive officers based on compensation earned during 2000;

  .  each director;

                                       6


  .all directors and executive officers as a group; and

  .  each stockholder that we know to own beneficially more than 5% of
     Allscripts common stock based on information filed with the Securities
     and Exchange Commission on Schedule 13D or 13G.

   Beneficial ownership is a technical term broadly defined by the Securities
and Exchange Commission to mean more than ownership in the usual sense. In
general, beneficial ownership includes any shares that the holder can vote or

            Section 16(a) Beneficial Ownership Reporting Compliance

   Section 16(a) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 requires executive
officers, directors and 10% stockholders to file reports of ownership and
changes of ownership of their company's common stock with the Securities and
Exchange Commission. Based on a review of copies of these reports provided to
us and written representations from executive officers and directors of Old
Allscripts, we believe that all filing requirements applicable to these
individuals were met during 2000, except that Lee Shapiro was delinquent in
reporting an option grant on each of two Form 4s, John G. Cull was delinquent
in reporting an option grant on a Form 4 and Philip D. Green was delinquent in
reporting a warrant exercise on a Form 4. The executive officers and directors
of New Allscripts were not subject to these filing requirements during 2000.

                             Option Grants in 2000

   This table gives information relating to option grants during 2000 to the
executive officers listed in the Summary Compensation Table. The options were
granted under the Amended and Restated 1993 Stock Incentive Plan and vest
equally over four years on the anniversaries of the grant. The potential
realizable value is calculated based on the term of the option at its time of
grant, 10 years. The calculation assumes that the fair market value on the date
of grant appreciates at the indicated rate compounded annually for the entire
term of the option and that the option is exercised at the exercise price and
sold on the last

                                       9


day of its term at the appreciated price. Stock price appreciation of 5% and
10% is assumed pursuant to the rules of the Securities and Exchange Commission.
The actual price appreciation may be substantially greater than that assumed
under these rules. We cannot assure you that the actual stock price will
appreciate over the 10-year option term at the assumed levels or at any other
defined level.

            Option Exercises in 2000 and 2000 Year-End Option Values

   This table provides information regarding the exercise of options during
2000 by the executive officers listed in the Summary Compensation Table. The
value realized is calculated using the difference between the option exercise
price and the price of Old Allscripts common stock on the date of exercise
multiplied by the number of shares subject to the option. The value of
unexercised in-the-money options at year end 2000 is calculated using the
difference between the option exercise price and $9.3438 (the last reported
market price of Old Allscripts common stock the last trading day of the year)
multiplied by the number of shares underlying the option. An option is in-the-
money if the market value of the common stock subject to the option is greater
than the exercise price.

                             Employment Agreements

   Old Allscripts entered into employment agreements with Messrs. Tullman and
Mullen effective August 1, 1997 and with Mr. Carey effective August 2, 1999.
Each agreement has an initial term that ended December 31, 2000 and renews for
consecutive one-year terms unless either party gives 30 days' notice prior to
the expiration of any term. Messrs. Tullman and Mullen were each paid an annual
salary of $225,000 through March 30, 2000 and $285,000 thereafter. They are
each entitled to an annual bonus as determined by the board of directors or the
compensation committee. In 2000, Mr. Carey was paid salary at an annual rate of
$190,000 through March 31, $215,000 from April 1 through May 31 and $235,000
thereafter, and he is entitled to an annual bonus, contingent upon the
attainment of certain objectives, as determined by the Chief Executive Officer
in consultation with the board of directors or the compensation committee. The
agreements also provide that each of Messrs. Tullman, Mullen and Carey will not
compete with us during the term of his employment and for one year thereafter.
If we terminate any of Messrs. Tullman, Mullen or Carey without Cause or if any
of them terminates his employment For Good Reason, as each of those terms is
defined in the agreements, he will be entitled to 12 months' salary as
severance, as well as any salary that was accrued but not yet paid as of the
termination date, the unpaid performance bonus, if any, for the calendar year
preceding the termination date and any performance bonus for the calendar year
in which the termination date occurs that would have been payable had there
been no termination. The amount of these performance bonuses is to be
determined in the manner in which it would have been determined had there been
no termination.

   Old Allscripts entered into an employment agreement with Mr. Shapiro
effective April 5, 2000. The agreement has an initial term that ends April 30,
2003 and renews for consecutive one-year terms unless either party gives 60
days' notice prior to the expiration of any term and provides for an annual
base salary of $225,000 with annual reviews on each April 30. Mr. Shapiro is
entitled to an annual bonus equal to the greater of $56,250 or 25% of his then
in effect base salary. The agreement also provides that Mr. Shapiro will not
compete with us during the term of his employment and for one year thereafter.
If we terminate Mr. Shapiro without Cause or if he terminates his employment
For Good Reason, as each of those terms is defined in the agreement, he will be
entitled to salary for the greater of 12 months or the remainder of the then
current employment period as severance, as well as any salary that was accrued
but not yet paid as of the termination date, the unpaid performance bonus, if
any, for the calendar year preceding the termination date and any performance
bonus for the calendar year in which the termination date occurs that would
have been payable had there been no termination. The amount of these
performance bonuses is to be determined in the manner in which it would have
been determined had there been no termination. In addition, in the case of such
a termination of Mr. Shapiro's employment, he will also be entitled to a
continuation of his benefits for 12 months, accelerated vesting of all stock
options held by him and outplacement services. Notwithstanding the above, if,
during the one-year period immediately following a Change in Control, as
defined in the agreement, we terminate Mr. Shapiro's employment for any reason
other than Cause or he terminates his employment

                                       11


for any reason, he will be entitled to a pro rata cash bonus for the year of
termination and payment in a lump sum equal to 2.99 times each of his then in
effect base salary and his then in effect target annual bonus.

           Termination of Employment and Change in Control Agreements

   Allscripts has entered into stock option agreements with Messrs. Tullman,
Mullen, Carey, Leisher and Shapiro granting them options to purchase aggregate
shares of common stock as follows: Mr. Tullman, 150,000 shares; Mr. Mullen,
150,000 shares; Mr. Carey, 216,666 shares; Mr. Leisher, 95,688 shares; and Mr.
Shapiro, 270,500 shares. Under these option agreements, in the event of a
Change in Control, as defined in the stock option agreements, vesting of the
options will accelerate so that the unvested portion of the options will vest
immediately.

          Compensation Committee Interlocks and Insider Participation

   The members of the compensation committee of the New Allscripts board of
directors are Messrs. Husain, Kluger and Lytle, the same individuals who served
on the Old Allscripts compensation committee. None of these persons has ever
been an officer or employee of Old Allscripts, New Allscripts or any of their
subsidiaries. We refer you to the information under "Certain Relationships and
Related Party Transactions" for a discussion of insider participation.

       Compensation Committee Report on Executive Officers' Compensation

   The compensation committee of New Allscripts' board of directors is composed
of the same three independent non-employee directors that composed the Old
Allscripts compensation committee, M. Fazle Husain, Michael J. Kluger and L.
Ben Lytle. Mr. Lytle serves as chairman of the committee. The committee
determines executive officers' salaries, bonuses and other compensation and
administers our Amended and Restated 1993 Stock Incentive Plan and our 2001
Nonstatutory Stock Option Plan. The New Allscripts committee's policies and
approach to compensation are the same as those that had been adopted by the Old
Allscripts committee.

Compensation Policies Applicable to Executive Officers

   The overall compensation program for salaried employees has been designed
and is administered to ensure that employee compensation promotes superior job
performance and the achievement of business objectives. The main policy
objective of executive officer compensation is the maximization of stockholder
value over the long term. The compensation committee believes that this can
best be accomplished by an executive compensation program that reflects the
following three principles:

     First, base salaries should be sufficient to attract and retain
  qualified management talent, without exceeding competitive practice at
  similar companies in the information technology market.

                                       12


     Second, annual bonus and incentive programs should provide opportunity
  for significant increases in compensation, based on meeting or exceeding
  pre-determined company and individual performance targets.

     Third, a substantial portion of total long-term compensation should
  reflect performance on behalf of the company's stockholders, as measured by
  increases in the value of the company's stock.

   In the judgment of the compensation committee, the performance of Allscripts
in 2000 confirms that the compensation program is achieving its main
objectives.

Base Salary

   All of the executive officers but T. Scott Leisher, John G. Cull and Stanley
Crane have employment agreements that set their base compensation. The Chief
Executive Officer and the President set the compensation for Messrs. Leisher,
Cull and Crane. The committee increased the annual base salaries of Messrs.
Tullman and Mullen to $285,000, effective April 1, 2000, and of Mr. Carey to
$235,000, effective June 1, 2000.

Annual Bonus

   Executive officers and certain other key personnel are eligible for cash
bonuses after the end of each fiscal year. The bonus program has not been
formalized in writing. The board of directors or the compensation committee
determines bonuses for Mr. Tullman, the CEO, and Mr. Mullen, the President and
Chief Financial Officer. Bonuses are based on the overall performance and
financial results of the company, including the company's achievement of goals
pertaining to revenue growth, cost reductions, improved operating methods,
acquisitions and accounting controls. These factors are weighted and then the
company's fulfillment of these goals is evaluated. Bonuses for other executive
officers are recommended by the CEO and then submitted to the committee for its
approval. In making recommendations, the CEO determines how each executive
officer contributed to Allscripts' achievement of its goals.

Stock Incentives

   Under the Amended and Restated 1993 Stock Incentive Plan, stock options and
stock appreciation rights may be granted to executive officers. Executives
generally receive stock incentives through initial grants at the time of hire
and periodic additional grants. The compensation committee determines the
number of stock incentives to be granted based on an officer's job
responsibilities and individual performance evaluation. This approach is
designed to encourage the creation of long-term stockholder value as the
committee believes that the significant equity interests in the company held by
management helps to align the interests of stockholders and management and
maximize stockholder returns over the long term. Each of the executive officers
named in the Summary Compensation Table received new grants of stock incentives
during 2000 as set forth therein.

                                       13


Compensation of the Chairman and Chief Executive Officer

   The overall compensation package of the Chief Executive Officer is designed
to recognize that the Chief Executive Officer bears primary responsibility for
increasing the value of stockholders' investments. The Chief Executive
Officer's base compensation is set at $225,000 by his employment agreement,
which has been renewed until December 31, 2001. As noted above, Mr. Tullman's
annual base salary was increased to $285,000, effective April 1, 2000, and he
received a cash bonus of $100,000 for 2000, reflecting Allscripts' achievement
of some of its performance goals.

   The compensation committee is directly responsible for determining all
awards and grants to the Chief Executive Officer under the incentive components
of the compensation program. The committee intends that a substantial portion
of the Chief Executive Officer's compensation be incentive-based, providing
greater compensation as direct and indirect financial measures of stockholder
value increase. The Chief Executive Officer's compensation will thus be
structured and administered to motivate and reward the successful achievement
of these objectives. In 2000, Mr. Tullman received options for a total of
150,000 shares.

   The committee intends for the Chief Executive Officer's compensation to
relate directly to the overall performance of the company as measured by
financial criteria. In addition, the Chief Executive Officer's compensation
reflects achievements such as the continued strong performance of the senior
management team and the successful negotiation of acquisitions and strategic
alliances.

Deductibility of Compensation

   Under, Internal Revenue Code Section 162(m), a company generally may not
deduct compensation in excess of $1,000,000 paid to the CEO and the other four
most highly compensated officers. Certain "performance based compensation" is
not included in compensation for purposes of the limit. The committee believes
that the current structure of New Allscripts' executive compensation does not
give rise to Section 162(m) concerns. The compensation committee will continue
to assess the impact of Section 162(m) on its compensation practices.

              Certain Relationships and Related Party Transactions

   Our policy is that all transactions between us and our executive officers,
directors and principal stockholders must be on terms no less favorable to us
than we could obtain from unaffiliated third parties or else must be approved
by our disinterested directors.

Registration Rights Agreement

   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 as of March 16, 2001 collectively held
approximately 8,502,233 shares of common stock, are entitled to registration
rights with respect to these shares. Under a registration rights agreement,
these Morgan Stanley entities, collectively, on the one hand, and Liberty
Partners Holdings 6, L.L.C., on the other hand, are each entitled to require us
to register their shares of common stock three times, but not more than once in
any six-month period. As of the date hereof, the Morgan Stanley entities,
collectively, on the one hand, and Liberty Partners, on the other hand, had
each exercised their right to require Allscripts to register their shares of
common stock one time. In addition, if we propose or are required to register
any of our common stock, either for our own account or for the account of other
of our stockholders, we are required to notify the holders described above and,
subject to certain limitations, to include in that registration all of the
common stock requested to be included by those holders. We are obligated to
bear the expenses, other than underwriting commissions, of all incidental
registrations.

Stock Rights and Restrictions Agreement

   In connection with the Channelhealth merger transaction, Allscripts entered
into a stock rights and restrictions agreement with IDX Systems Corporation,
which is a significant stockholder of Allscripts, and of which Richard E.
Tarrant, our Vice Chairman, is Chief Executive Officer.

 Allscripts Board of Directors

   Until the earlier of (1) termination of the stock rights and restrictions
agreement or (2) the date that IDX and its affiliates beneficially own fewer
than 25% of the Allscripts common shares issued to IDX upon completion of the
Channelhealth merger, IDX is entitled to designate an individual to the
Allscripts board of directors. The initial IDX designee to the Allscripts board
was Mr. Tarrant. 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
Allscripts common shares issued to IDX upon completion of the Channelhealth
merger, Mr. Tarrant will be the sole non-executive Vice Chairman of the
Allscripts board.

 Limitation on Business Combination Transactions

   During the term of the stock rights and restrictions agreement, each of IDX
and Allscripts has agreed not to engage in or propose any transaction referred
to in the agreement as a "business combination", which means a merger,
consolidation, "business

                                       16


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, as defined in the
agreement, 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.

 Limitation on Acquisition and Disposition of 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, except
under certain limited circumstances. In addition, the stock rights and
restrictions agreement imposes certain limitations on IDX's ability to transfer
beneficial ownership of its Allscripts voting securities. The stock rights and
restrictions agreement also provides that if during the period from the third
anniversary through the fourth anniversary of the agreement, Allscripts
proposes to file a registration statement under the Securities Act with respect
to a primary firm commitment underwritten public offering of Allscripts common
stock, IDX will have the right to "piggyback" on the offering by notifying
Allscripts that IDX wants to include some or all of its Allscripts shares in
the registration, subject to customary "cutback" provisions. 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.

   In addition, Mr. Tarrant signed the stock rights and restrictions agreement
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
Allscripts common shares he received in the Channelhealth merger unless prior
to the expiration of that period Glen E. Tullman, Chairman and Chief Executive
Officer of Allscripts, transfers for his own account any Allscripts common
shares.

 Voting of 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 Allscripts stockholders.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, IDX must vote, except in certain limited
circumstances, all of its Allscripts shares in accordance with the
recommendation of the 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
     Allscripts voting securities;

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

                                       17


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

   IDX is not required to vote its Allscripts shares in accordance with the
recommendation of the Allscripts continuing directors if the average closing
price of Allscripts stock during the 90 trading days preceding the vote is less
than $14.5625.

 IDX's Right to Participate in Securities Issuances by Allscripts

   If at any time during the term of the stock rights and restrictions
agreement Allscripts plans to issue Allscripts voting securities, or securities
exercisable, exchangeable for or convertible into Allscripts voting securities
and, as a result, IDX's beneficial ownership of all outstanding Allscripts
voting securities would be reduced to below 2% after giving effect to the
proposed transaction, then 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 Allscripts voting
securities determined by dividing the aggregate number of outstanding
Allscripts common shares then beneficially owned by IDX by the total number of
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 Allscripts; or

  .  by IDX if Allscripts files for bankruptcy, or another person commences a
     bankruptcy proceeding against 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 Allscripts.

Strategic Alliance Agreement

   Upon completion of the Channelhealth merger transaction, Allscripts and IDX
entered into a strategic alliance agreement.

 Marketing of Channelhealth Products

   The strategic alliance agreement provides for a ten-year strategic alliance
under which Allscripts and IDX 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 Allscripts and IDX are
required to develop connectivity between their respective products to
facilitate data exchange and ease of use. The parties will be required to
compensate and incent their sales forces to sell Allscripts' products to IDX
customers and prospects.

 Marketing Restrictions

   During the term of the alliance, each party, subject to certain exceptions,
is prohibited from developing, or cooperating with direct competitors of the
other party to develop or

                                       18


provide competitive products other than those currently marketed by such party.
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).

 Compensation

   Allscripts and IDX are entitled to agreed upon revenue sharing for sales of
each other's products. Under the strategic alliance agreement, IDX guarantees
gross revenues to Allscripts of $4.5 million in 2001.

 Change of Control

   If during the term of the alliance, a change of control occurs with respect
to either party with a direct competitor of the other party, the party
undergoing the change of control will be subject to certain revenue sharing
obligations with the other party.

 Termination of Alliance

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

Amended and Restated Cross License and Software Maintenance Agreement

   In connection with the Channelhealth merger transaction, Channelhealth and
IDX entered into an amended and restated cross license and software maintenance
agreement.

 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 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.

                                       19


 Termination

   In the event that the strategic alliance agreement between Allscripts and
IDX 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 Allscripts products
and IDX products.

Certain Business Relationships

   In 2000, Old Allscripts retained the law firm of Green, Stewart, Farber &
Anderson, P.C., of which Philip D. Green, one of our directors, was a partner.
Old Allscripts paid Mr. Green's law firm fees of $55,155 in 2000.

                             Audit Committee Report

   The audit committee is comprised of three directors who are not officers of
Allscripts. Each of the members is independent, as defined in the National
Association of Securities Dealers' listing standards. The committee operates
under a written charter adopted by the board, a copy of which is included as
Appendix A to this proxy statement.

   The audit committee of Old Allscripts held eight meetings during 2000. The
meetings were designed to facilitate and encourage private communications
between the committee and Allscripts' independent public accountants.
Allscripts' independent public accountants were PricewaterhouseCoopers LLP
(PWC) until December 21, 2000 when, upon the recommendation of the committee,
the Board dismissed PWC and appointed KPMG LLP (KPMG) as Allscripts'
independent public accountants. Therefore, all meetings before December 21,
2000 were held with PWC and all meetings after that date were held with KPMG.

   During these meetings, the committee reviewed and discussed the audited
financial statements with management and Allscripts' independent public
accountants. In connection with PWC's review of Allscripts' financial
statements for the quarter ended September 30, 2000, PWC advised the committee
of the existence of a material weakness relating to the controls surrounding
contract administration. To immediately address this concern, Allscripts, among
other things, hired a contract attorney, who serves as a full-time Contract
Administrator with the responsibility for the retention, review, analysis,
monitoring and maintenance of individual customer contracts. The audit
committee believes that the concerns expressed by PWC have been adequately
addressed through these actions and that management maintains an effective
system of internal controls that results in fairly presented financial
statements. Based on discussions with management and KPMG, Allscripts' current
independent public accountants, the committee recommended to the board that the
audited financial statements be included in Allscripts' Annual Report on Form
10-K.

   The discussions with Allscripts' independent accountants also included the
matters required by Statement on Auditing Standards No. 61 (Communications with
Audit Committees). The committee received from the independent accountants
written disclosures and the letter regarding its independence required by
Independence Standards Board Standard No. 1 (Independence Discussions with
Audit Committees), and the committee discussed with the independent accountants
that firm's independence. The committee has recommended the retention of KPMG
as independent accountants for fiscal year 2001.

                         Independent Public Accountants

   On December 21, 2000, Old Allscripts dismissed PricewaterhouseCoopers LLP
(PWC) as Old Allscripts' independent accountant. At the recommendation of its
audit committee, the board of directors of Old Allscripts authorized the
dismissal of PWC.

   The reports of PWC on Old Allscripts' consolidated financial statements as
of and for the two years ended December 31, 1998 and 1999 did not contain an
adverse opinion or a disclaimer of opinion, and were not qualified or modified
as to uncertainty, audit scope, or accounting principles.

   During Old Allscripts' two fiscal years ended December 31, 1999, and in the
interim period from January 1, 2000 through December 21, 2000, there were no
disagreements with PWC on any matter of accounting principles or practices,
financial statement disclosure, or auditing scope or procedure, which
disagreements if not resolved to the satisfaction of PWC would have caused them
to make reference thereto in their report of the financial statements for those
years.

   During Old Allscripts' two fiscal years ended December 31, 1999 and in the
interim period from January 1, 2000 through December 21, 2000, there were no
"reportable events" as defined in Item 304(a)(1)(v) of Regulation S-K
promulgated under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 except that in connection
with PWC's review of Old Allscripts' financial statements for the quarter ended
September 30, 2000, PWC advised Old Allscripts of the existence of a material
weakness relating to the controls surrounding contract administration. To
immediately address this concern, Old Allscripts, among other things, hired a
contract attorney, who serves as a full-time Contract Administrator with the
responsibility for the retention, review, analysis, monitoring and maintenance
of individual customer contracts. Management and the audit committee believe
that the concerns expressed by PWC have been adequately addressed through the
actions taken by Old Allscripts.

   Old Allscripts provided PWC with a copy of the disclosures made in its
Current Report on Form 8-K dated December 21, 2000 and filed with the
Securities and Exchange Commission on December 28, 2000 (the "Form 8-K") and
requested that PWC furnish Old Allscripts with a letter addressed to the
Securities and Exchange Commission stating whether PWC agrees with the
statements made by Old Allscripts in response to Item 304(a) of Regulation S-K
and, if not, stating the respects in which PWC does not agree. A copy of that
letter is filed as Exhibit A to the Current Report on Form 8-K.

   At the recommendation of the audit committee, the board authorized the
engagement of KPMG LLP as Old Allscripts' new independent accountants to audit
and report on the financial statements for the fiscal year ending December 31,
2000 and to act, on a continuing basis, as Old Allscripts' independent
accountant. On December 21, 2000, Old Allscripts requested that KPMG be engaged
as its independent accountants, and KPMG accepted the engagement on December
28, 2000. KPMG has continued to serve as New Allscripts' independent auditors.

                                       22


   During the two fiscal years ended December 31, 1999 and in the interim
period from January 1, 2000 through December 21, 2000, Old Allscripts did not
consult with KPMG regarding either the application of accounting principles to
a specified transaction, either completed or proposed, or the types of audit
opinion that might be rendered on Old Allscripts' financial statements. In
addition, Old Allscripts did not consult with KPMG regarding any matter that
was the subject of a disagreement or a reportable event within the meaning of
Item 304 of Regulation S-K.

   Representatives of KPMG will be present at the Annual Meeting. They will
have the opportunity to make a statement if they so desire and to respond to
appropriate questions.

Audit Fees

   KPMG billed Allscripts approximately $120,000 for professional services in
connection with the audit of the annual financial statements included in the
Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2000. KPMG did not
bill Allscripts for any other services during 2000.

                               Executive Officers

   Following is certain information about the executive officers of Allscripts,
based on information furnished by them.

   Glen E. Tullman, 41, became the Chairman of the Board of Old Allscripts in
May 1999 and the Chief Executive Officer in August 1997. Mr. Tullman has held
the same positions with New Allscripts since the Channelhealth merger
transaction in January 2001. From October 1994 to July 1997, Mr. Tullman was
Chief Executive Officer of Enterprise Systems, Inc., a publicly traded
healthcare information services company providing resource management solutions
to large integrated healthcare networks. From 1983 to 1994, Mr. Tullman was
employed by CCC Information Services Group, Inc., a computer software company
servicing the insurance industry, most recently as President and Chief
Operating Officer.

   David B. Mullen, 50, became the President and Chief Financial Officer and a
