PROSPECTUS SUMMARY

The following summary is qualified in its entirety by the detailed
information and Consolidated Financial Statements and related Notes thereto
appearing elsewhere in this Prospectus. Prospective investors should consider
carefully the information discussed under "Risk Factors." Unless otherwise
indicated, all information in this Prospectus assumes no exercise of the
Underwriter's over-allotment option. See "Underwriting." References to "Common
Stock" include associated preferred stock purchase rights (the "Rights")
issuable pursuant to that certain Rights Agreement dated October 23, 1995
providing for the delivery of a Right along with each share of Common Stock
issued by the Company.

The Company is a leading provider of enterprise-wide clinical information
management solutions to emerging integrated healthcare delivery networks
("IDNs"). The Company employs advanced technology to develop the software tools
and applications that enable the creation of the computer-based patient record
("CPR") and enterprise-wide decision support systems while leveraging
investments in existing information systems. The Company's tools, products and
services provide enterprise-wide integration of information systems and indexing
of patient records, clinical information integration and decision support at the
point-of-care, and management decision support systems based upon access to
comprehensive enterprise-wide clinical, financial and other information. The
Company's solutions enable its customers to reduce the cost of delivering
healthcare through increased productivity and to improve the quality of care
through analysis of outcomes and continuous improvement of patient care
processes.

Over the past two decades, healthcare costs have risen dramatically
relative to the overall rate of inflation. With increasing pressure to reduce
costs, managed care organizations and other payers are shifting the economic
risk of the delivery of care to providers through alternative reimbursement
models, including capitation and fixed fees. In response to the changing
reimbursement environment, healthcare organizations such as hospitals,
multi-specialty physician groups, laboratories, pharmacies, home health services
and nursing homes are integrating horizontally and vertically to create IDNs
designed to serve all of the healthcare needs of local or regional populations
while achieving economies of scale. In order for IDNs to lower healthcare
delivery costs while improving the quality of patient care, they need access to
detailed clinical and management information that enables providers within the
IDN to (i) manage the patient care process across multiple delivery sites; (ii)
analyze the appropriateness of diagnoses, treatments and resource utilization;
(iii) compare provider performance and clinical outcomes; (iv) monitor
performance under managed care contracts; (v) monitor practice patterns of
providers; and (vi) support communications among members of the care team. An
integral element of this process is the CPR, an electronic patient record that
resides in a system specifically designed to support users by providing access
to complete and accurate data, alerts, reminders, clinical decision support
systems, links to medical knowledge and other aids. With the development of a
CPR and related management decision tools, providers will have immediate on-line
access to more comprehensive patient care information across multiple delivery
sites to guide them in controlling healthcare costs, improving patient care and
facilitating responsiveness to competitive and regulatory challenges in the
healthcare market.

The Company's tools, products and services directly address the healthcare
industry's need for the creation of the CPR and decision support systems based
on comprehensive, enterprise-wide clinical, financial and other information. The
Company's solutions allow its customers to leverage investments in existing
information systems, while developing the new capabilities required to implement
and manage the emerging IDNs. The Company's use of advanced technology and an
open architecture allows customers to employ best-of-breed technology
strategies. The Company's tools, products and services fall into three broad
areas, each of which represents a critical component of the computer-based
patient record: (i) integration tools, which provide enterprise-wide
communication and connectivity; (ii) clinical workstation tools, which bring
clinical information to the providers at the point-of-care; and (iii) enterprise
management tools, which create decision support systems based on comprehensive
enterprise-wide clinical, financial and other information.

The Company's goal is to become the leading provider of advanced clinical
information solutions, performance tools and related services for the evolving
healthcare market. The Company's primary strategies to achieve this goal are to
(i) capitalize on the emergence of IDNs; (ii) focus on providing its customers
with high-value solutions; (iii) expand its three-tiered distribution system;
(iv) provide technologically advanced solutions premised upon an open
architecture format; and (v) establish new lines of business through
acquisitions or internal development.

The discussion in this Prospectus contains forward-looking statements that
involve risks and uncertainties. The Company's actual results could differ
materially from those discussed herein. Factors which could cause or contribute
to such differences include, but are not limited to, those discussed in the
sections entitled "Risk Factors," "Management's Discussion and Analysis of
Financial Condition and Results of Operations" and "Business," as well as those
discussed elsewhere in this Prospectus.

RISK FACTORS

In addition to the other information in this Prospectus, prospective
investors should consider carefully the following factors in evaluating the
Company and its business before purchasing any shares of the Common Stock
offered hereby.

LIMITED OPERATING HISTORY; LACK OF PROFITABILITY AND ACCUMULATED DEFICIT

The Company commenced operations in June 1994 and has generally sustained
operating losses since that time. The Company incurred a net loss of
approximately $1.3 million for the period from June 15, 1994 (date of
incorporation) through December 31, 1994, a net loss of approximately $10.0
million for the year ended December 31, 1995, a net loss of approximately $1.9
million for the six months ended June 30, 1995, and earned net income of
approximately $366,000 for the six months ended June 30, 1996. As of June 30,
1996, the Company had an accumulated deficit of approximately $10.9 million. No
assurance can be given that the Company will ever generate significant revenue
or sustain or again achieve profitability. Certain of the Company's potential
product applications are in the early stages of market acceptance. To sustain
profitable operations, the Company must successfully market its current and
prospective products and expand sales of its products in the healthcare
industry. No assurance can be given that such efforts will be successful. See
"Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of
Operations."

DEPENDENCE ON SINGLE PRODUCT

Approximately 56% of the Company's revenue for the six months ended June
30, 1996 was derived from a single product, the Healthcare Communications, Inc.
Cloverleaf integration engine. For at least the near-term, the Company will
continue to be largely dependent on the sales of this product. A downturn in the
market for the Cloverleaf integration engine would likely have a material
adverse effect on the Company's sales and net income. The success of the Company
will continue to depend in part on its ability to diversify its revenue base.
There can be no assurance that the Company will be successful in its
diversification efforts.

FLUCTUATIONS IN QUARTERLY OPERATING RESULTS; SEASONALITY

Results of operations have fluctuated and may continue to fluctuate
significantly from quarter to quarter as a result of a number of factors,
including (i) contract terms and the volume and timing of system sales and
customer acceptances; (ii) customer purchasing patterns, order cancellations and
rescheduling of system installations; (iii) the mix of direct and indirect
sales; (iv) the mix of higher-margin software revenue and lower-margin service
revenue; (v) the actions of competitors; and (vi) the timing of acquisitions and
divestitures. Accordingly, the Company's future operating results are likely to
be subject to significant variability from quarter to quarter and could be
adversely affected in any particular quarter. The Company's total revenue and
results of operations may also be affected by seasonal trends including the
possibility of higher revenue in the Company's fourth quarter and lower revenue
in its first three quarters as a result of many customers' annual purchasing and
budgetary practices and the Company's sales commission practices which rely in
part on annual quotas. As a result, the Company believes that period-to-period
comparisons of its revenues and results of operations are not necessarily
meaningful and should not be relied upon as indicators of future performance.
Due to the foregoing factors, it is possible that the Company's operating
results will be below the expectations of public market analysts and investors.
See "Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of
Operations."

UNCERTAINTY OF MARKET ACCEPTANCE

The Company's success will depend in large part on the acceptance by
physicians and provider organizations of sophisticated computer-based clinical
information systems that provide access to clinical assessment guides, clinical
outcomes analyses, physician profiles, physician protocols, practice standards
and practice guidelines. In addition, certain physicians may perceive the use of
such computer-based systems as an infringement on their discretion in providing
medical treatment and, accordingly, may be reluctant to accept

5
<PAGE> 6

such computer-based systems. There can be no assurance that the Company's tools,
products and services will achieve the market acceptance necessary for
profitable operations.

NEW PRODUCTS; TECHNOLOGICAL CHANGES

The market for the Company's tools, products and services is characterized
by continued and rapid technological advances in software development requiring
ongoing expenditures for research and development and the timely introduction of
new tools, products and services. In addition, compatibility with existing and
emerging industry standards is essential to the Company's marketing strategy and
research and development efforts. The establishment of standards is largely a
function of user acceptance, and standards are therefore subject to change. The
Company's tools and products are dependent upon a number of advanced
technologies, including those relating to computer hardware and software,
storage devices and other peripheral components, all of which are subject to
rapid change. Accordingly, the Company's future success will depend upon its
ability on a timely basis to develop and introduce new tools and products and
enhance its existing tools and products in order to keep pace with competitive
offerings, adapt to technological developments and changing industry standards
and provide additional functionality to address the increasingly sophisticated
needs of its customers. To the extent the Company determines that new
technologies and equipment are required to remain competitive, the acquisition
and implementation of such technologies and equipment are likely to require
investment of significant time and capital. Depending on the complexity of a
given software tool or product, the Company's development and introduction cycle
could last months or years. There can be no assurance that the Company will be
successful in developing, introducing on a timely basis, and marketing such
tools and products or enhancements thereof or that they will be accepted by the
market. Research and development expense totaled $192,000, $1.9 million,
$828,000 and $605,000 for the period from June 15, 1994 (date of incorporation)
through December 31, 1994, for the year ended December 31, 1995 and for the six
months ended June 30, 1995 and 1996, respectively. There can be no assurance
that the necessary capital will be available in the future or that the tools and
products will become or remain commercially viable. There can be no assurance
the Company's future development efforts will be successful or that the
emergence of new technologies, industry standards or customer requirements will
not render the Company's technology, equipment or processes obsolete or
uncompetitive. There can be no assurance that the Company will be able to
acquire or license the needed new technology at a price or on terms acceptable
to the Company. Without the timely development and successful introduction of
market-driven tools and products, there can be no assurance that the Company can
either achieve and sustain profitable operations or continue operations.

PROPRIETARY TECHNOLOGY; DEPENDENCE ON THIRD PARTY TECHNOLOGY

The Company's success is dependent to a significant extent on its ability
to maintain the proprietary and confidential software incorporated in its tools
and products as they are released. The Company relies on a combination of
copyright and trade secret and contractual protections to establish and protect
its proprietary rights. There can, however, be no assurance that the legal
protections and the precautions taken by the Company will be adequate to prevent
misappropriation of the Company's technology or trade secrets. In addition,
these protections and precautions do not prevent independent third-party
development of competitive technology, tools and products, and the laws of some
foreign countries do not protect the Company's proprietary rights to the same
extent as do the laws of the United States.

The Company is dependent upon third-party suppliers to license to it
necessary technology that is incorporated into certain of the Company's
products. The Company has less control over the scheduling and quality of work
of third-party suppliers than its employees. Furthermore, the Company's
agreements to license certain third-party technology will terminate after
specified dates unless renewed. To the extent possible, the Company has
determined that the third-party intellectual property used in its products is in
the public domain or used in accordance with licensed terms, including the
license terms of freeware used in its products. However, while HIE believes that
it has all rights necessary to market and sell its solutions without
infringement of intellectual proprietary rights held by others, the Company
typically uses freeware and shareware as is and has not conducted a formal
infringement search. Accordingly, there can be no assurance that such
conflicting rights do not exist. There can be no assurance that such use is in
compliance with such

6
<PAGE> 7

licenses or that the Company will not become the subject of infringement claims
or legal proceedings by third parties with respect to current or future products
and that such claims or proceedings will not have a material adverse effect on
the Company's business, financial condition or results of operations. An adverse
outcome in litigation or similar adversarial proceedings could subject the
Company to significant liabilities to third parties, require expenditure of
significant resources to develop non-infringing technology, require disputed
rights to be licensed from others or require the Company to cease the marketing
or use of certain products, any of which could have a material adverse effect on
the Company's business, financial condition and results of operations. As the
number of software products in the industry increases and the functionality of
these products further overlaps, the Company believes that software developers
may become increasingly subject to infringement claims. To the extent the
Company wishes or is required to obtain licenses to patents or proprietary
rights of others, there can be no assurance that any such licenses will be made
available on terms acceptable to the Company, or at all. See
"Business -- Intellectual Property and Proprietary Rights."

RELIANCE ON DISTRIBUTOR; CUSTOMER CONCENTRATION

The Company principally relies upon independent distributors that generate
a substantial portion of the Company's sales. Software license fee revenue
generated by distributors included in the Company's consolidated statements of
operations totaled $0, $2.2 million, $1.2 million and $1.2 million for the
period from June 15, 1994 (date of incorporation) through December 31, 1994, for
the year ended December 31, 1995 and for the six months ended June 30, 1995 and
1996, respectively. Of these total amounts, $0, $1.6 million, $780,000 and
$842,000 of software license fee revenue, or 0%, 18%, 21% and 12% of the
Company's consolidated revenue, in the respective periods was generated by one
distributor. The loss of a significant distributor could have a material adverse
effect on the Company's business, financial condition and results of operations.
No customer accounted for more than 10% of the Company's consolidated revenue
during the period from June 15, 1994 (date of incorporation) through December
31, 1994 or the year ended December 31, 1995. One customer accounted for
approximately 26% of the Company's consolidated revenue for the six months ended
June 30, 1996. The loss of this customer could have a material adverse effect on
the Company's business, financial condition and results of operations.

LIABILITY FOR ERRORS AND OMISSIONS

The Company's tools and products are used to provide information that
relates to healthcare enterprise operations and other critical applications. In
addition, use of the Company's tools and products could also potentially
jeopardize the security and privacy of confidential patient and other
information and data stored in the Company's tools and products and in the
computer systems of the Company's customers. Any failure by the Company's
systems to provide accurate and timely information or to protect the security
and privacy of confidential patient and other information could result in claims
against the Company. The Company maintains errors and omissions insurance to
protect against claims associated with the use of its tools and products, but
there can be no assurance that its insurance coverage would adequately cover any
claims asserted against the Company. A successful claim brought against the
Company could have a material adverse effect on the Company. Even unsuccessful
claims could result in the Company's expenditure of funds in litigation and
management time and resources. There can be no assurance that the Company will
not be subject to claims alleging errors and omissions in product development or
operation, that such claims will not result in liability in excess of its
insurance coverages, that the Company's insurance will cover such claims or that
appropriate or adequate insurance will continue to be available to the Company
in the future at commercially reasonable rates.

COMPETITION

7
<PAGE> 8

number of competitors in each of these individual areas. The Company competes
with, among others, (i) healthcare information systems vendors, such as HBO &
Company, Shared Medical Systems Corporation and Cerner Corporation; (ii)
integration engine companies, such as Software Technologies Corporation, Century
Analysis Incorporated and HUBLink, Inc.; (iii) image management companies, such
as IMNET Systems, Inc. and LanVision Systems, Inc.; (iv) healthcare database
reference companies, such as HCIA Inc.; (v) consulting firms, such as Ernst &
Young LLP; (vi) original equipment manufacturers, such as International Business
Machines Corporation; (vii) systems integration firms, such as Science
Applications International Corporation; and (viii) internal MIS departments of
providers. A competitor of the Company with respect to one aspect of the
Company's business may serve as a distributor for the Company with respect to
other tools, products or services.

In general, the Company's competitors have greater financial, technical,
research and development and marketing resources and more extensive business
experience than the Company. Although the Company believes that its solutions
have advantages over competing tools, products and services currently being
marketed, there can be no assurance that the Company will be able to continue to
compete effectively in the marketplace if its present and potential competitors
are able to duplicate or improve upon its tools, products, services or marketing
strategy.

UNCERTAIN ABILITY TO MANAGE GROWTH

The Company has experienced a period of rapid growth that has placed, and
could continue to place, a significant strain on the Company's financial,
management and other resources. The Company's future performance will depend in
part on its ability to manage change in its operations, including integration of
any acquired businesses and any internally developed businesses. In addition,
the Company's ability to manage its growth effectively will require it to
continue to improve its operational and financial control systems and
infrastructure, and to attract, train, motivate, manage and retain key
employees. If the Company's management were to become unable to manage growth
effectively, the Company's business, financial condition and results of
operations could be materially adversely affected.

RISKS ASSOCIATED WITH POSSIBLE ACQUISITIONS

The Company intends to pursue acquisitions as part of its growth strategy.
Other than an agreement in principle with respect to a possible increase in its
investment in Criterion Health Strategies, Inc. (see "Recent Developments"), the
Company has no present understandings, commitments or agreements with respect to
any acquisition. The Company anticipates, however, that one or more potential
acquisition opportunities may become available in the future. Acquisitions would
require investment of operational and financial resources and could require
integration of dissimilar operations, assimilation of new employees, diversion
of management resources, increases in administrative costs and additional costs
associated with debt or equity financing. If attractive acquisition
opportunities become available, the Company intends to pursue them actively.
There can be no assurance that the Company will complete any acquisition or that
a future acquisition will not have a material adverse effect on the Company or
will not result in dilution to shareholders purchasing Common Stock in this
Offering. See "Use of Proceeds" and "Business -- Strategy."

CONSOLIDATION AND UNCERTAINTY IN THE HEALTHCARE INDUSTRY

Many healthcare providers are consolidating to create larger healthcare
delivery enterprises with greater regional market power. Such consolidation
could erode the Company's existing customer base and reduce the size of the
Company's target market. In addition, the resulting enterprises could have
greater bargaining power, which may lead to price erosion of the Company's
products and services. The reduction in the size of the Company's target market
or the failure of the Company to maintain adequate price levels could have a
material adverse effect on the Company. The healthcare industry also is subject
to changing political, economic and regulatory influences that may affect the
procurement practices and operation of healthcare industry participants. During
the past several years, the U.S. healthcare industry has been subject to an
increase in governmental regulation and reform proposals. These reforms may
increase governmental involvement in healthcare, lower reimbursement rates and
otherwise change the operating environment for the

8
<PAGE> 9

Company's customers. Healthcare industry participants may react to these
proposals and the uncertainty surrounding such proposals by curtailing or
deferring investments, including those for the Company's products and services.
The failure of the Company to maintain adequate price levels or sales as a
result of legislative or market-driven reforms could have a material adverse
effect on the Company's business, results of operations and financial condition.

DEPENDENCE ON KEY PERSONNEL

Mr. H. Darrell Young, the Company's President and Chief Executive Officer,
has been primarily responsible for the development and expansion of the
Company's business. The loss of the services of Mr. Young or certain other key
personnel could have a material adverse effect on the Company. In addition, the
Company believes that its future success will be dependent in part on its
continued ability to recruit, motivate and retain qualified personnel. The
Company faces competition for such personnel from other companies and
organizations. The Company's anticipated growth and expansion into areas and
activities requiring additional expertise will require the addition of new
management personnel and the development of additional expertise by existing
management personnel. The failure to attract and retain such personnel or to
develop such expertise could adversely affect the Company's business. See
"Management."

POSSIBLE ADVERSE EFFECTS OF GOVERNMENT REGULATION

The United States Food and Drug Administration (the "FDA") has issued a
draft guidance document addressing the regulation of certain computer products
as medical devices under the Federal Food, Drug, and Cosmetic Act (the "FDC
Act"). The FDA currently regulates the medical imaging capability that the
Company has developed, continues to develop and markets. Compliance with further
federal regulation could be burdensome, time consuming and expensive. The
Company expects that the FDA is likely to become increasingly active in
regulating computer software intended for use in the healthcare setting.
Furthermore, there can be no assurance that any final FDA policy governing
computer products, once issued, or other future laws and regulations concerning
the manufacture or marketing of medical devices or healthcare information
systems will not increase the cost and time to market new or existing products.
If the FDA chooses to regulate any of the Company's systems as medical devices
not exempt from regulation, it can impose extensive requirements upon the
Company, including the requirement that the Company seek either FDA clearance of
a premarket notification submission demonstrating the device's substantial
equivalence to a legally marketed predicate device or approval of a premarket
approval application establishing the safety and effectiveness of the device.
FDA regulations also govern, among other things, the preclinical and clinical
testing, manufacture, distribution, labeling and promotion of medical devices.
In addition, the Company would be required to comply with the FDC Act's general
controls, including establishment registration, device listing, compliance with
good manufacturing requirements, reporting of certain device malfunctions and
adverse device events. Noncompliance with applicable requirements can result in,
among other things, fines, injunctions, civil penalties, recall or service of
products, total or partial suspension of production, failure of the government
to grant premarket clearance or approval of products, withdrawal of clearances
and approvals, and criminal prosecution. See "Business -- Government
Regulation."

The confidentiality of patient records and the circumstances under which
such records may be released are subject to substantial regulation by state and
federal laws and regulations, which govern both the disclosure and use of
confidential patient medical record information. The Company believes that it
complies with the laws and regulations regarding the collection and distribution
of patient data in all jurisdictions in which it operates, but regulations
governing patient confidentiality rights are evolving rapidly and are often
unclear and difficult to apply in the rapidly restructuring healthcare market.
On August 22, 1996, President Clinton signed the Health Insurance Portability
and Accountability Act of 1996. This legislation requires the Secretary of
Health and Human Services to adopt national standards for health information
transactions and the data elements used in such transactions and to adopt
standards to ensure the integrity and confidentiality of health information. The
Secretary is required to issue such standards not later than February 21, 1998.
There can be no assurance that this legislation and the regulations promulgated
thereunder will not materially restrict the ability of the Company to obtain or
disseminate patient information. Additional legislation governing the

9
<PAGE> 10

dissemination of medical record information is continually being proposed at
both the state and federal level. Such proposed legislation could require
patient consent before even coded or anonymous patient information may be shared
with third parties and that holders or users of such information implement
security measures. There can be no assurance that changes to state or federal
laws will not materially restrict the ability of the Company to obtain or
disseminate patient information. Any material restriction on the Company's
ability to obtain or disseminate patient information could adversely affect the
Company's business. See "Business -- Government Regulation."

BROAD DISCRETION IN USE OF PROCEEDS

The Company intends to use the net proceeds of this Offering for
satisfaction of a funding commitment to an affiliate, research and development,
general sales and marketing, working capital to finance the Company's planned
growth, general corporate purposes and potential acquisitions of businesses,
products or technologies. Accordingly, the Company will have broad discretion as
to the application of such proceeds. See "Use of Proceeds" and
"Business -- Strategy."

FUTURE CAPITAL NEEDS; UNCERTAINTY OF ADDITIONAL FUNDING

Prior to becoming an independent stand-alone company in November 1995, the
Company relied upon equity infusions from its then parent company Healthdyne,
Inc. to fund both its operations and its investments in subsidiaries and
affiliated companies. See "The Company." The Company believes that current
available cash, the net proceeds from this Offering and anticipated cash flow
from operating activities will be sufficient to meet the Company's capital
requirements, including the payment of all maturing debt in cash and its
remaining funding commitment to an affiliate, for at least the next twelve
months and for the foreseeable future. In the future, the Company may require
additional financing to fund its operations. The Company's future capital
requirements will depend on many factors, including the progress of the
Company's research and development, the market acceptance of any of the
Company's products, competitive products and the establishment of third-party
licensing arrangements. Any additional equity financing may result in dilution
to the Company's stockholders and any debt financing is likely to subject the
Company to financial and other covenants. There can be no assurance that funds
will be available on favorable terms, if at all. The absence of such financing
would have a material adverse effect on the Company's business, including a
possible reduction or cessation of operations. See "Management's Discussion and
Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations -- Liquidity and
Capital Resources."

DILUTION

Purchasers of the Common Stock offered hereby will incur immediate and
substantial dilution in the net tangible book value per share of Common Stock.
See "Dilution." In addition, further dilution will or may occur as a result of
the following: the conversion of the presently outstanding convertible debenture
of the Company due January 2, 1998 secured by a portion of stock of Healthcare
Communications, Inc. (see Notes 3 and 6 of Notes to Consolidated Financial
Statements); the exercise of the Company's option to increase its ownership
interest in Criterion Health Strategies, Inc. (see "Recent Developments"); the
exercise of outstanding stock options (see Note 8 of Notes to Consolidated
Financial Statements); and future equity financings of the Company.

SHARES ELIGIBLE FOR FUTURE SALE

Sales of a substantial amount of Common Stock in the public market
following this Offering could adversely affect the market price of the Common
Stock. Upon completion of this Offering (and assuming no exercise of the
Underwriter's over-allotment option), the Company will have an aggregate of
20,033,419 shares of Common Stock outstanding, based on the number of
outstanding shares on August 31, 1996. The Company and each of its directors and
officers, holding in the aggregate 2,569,003 shares of the outstanding Common
Stock, have agreed, subject to certain exceptions, not to sell these shares for
a period of 90 days from the date of this Prospectus without the prior consent
of Morgan Keegan & Company, Inc. After expiration of such lock-up period, these
shares will become eligible for immediate sale, subject in certain cases to
volume

10
<PAGE> 11

and other limitations of Rule 144 under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended
(the "Securities Act"). Additionally, at August 31, 1996, options to purchase
2,843,462 shares of Common Stock were outstanding, of which options to purchase
1,394,678 shares were then exercisable. The Company has granted limited
registration rights with respect to the shares underlying its convertible
debenture due January 2, 1998 and may grant registration rights in connection
with a potential purchase of the interest of Massey Burch Capital Corp. in
Criterion Health Strategies, Inc. See "Shares Eligible for Future Sale," "Recent
Developments," "Description of Capital Stock -- Registration Rights" and
"Underwriting."

POSSIBLE VOLATILITY OF STOCK PRICE

The stock market has from time to time experienced significant price and
volume fluctuations that are unrelated to the operating performance of
particular companies. In addition, factors such as announcements of
technological innovations or the introduction of new products by the Company or
its competitors, market conditions in the medical industry and related fields,
and general economic conditions may have a significant impact on the market
price of the Common Stock.

CERTAIN ANTI-TAKEOVER CONSIDERATIONS

Certain provisions of the Company's Articles of Incorporation and By-Laws,
as well as the Rights Agreement (as hereinafter defined), could have the effect
of making it more difficult for a third party to acquire, or of discouraging a
third party from attempting to acquire, control of the Company. Such provisions
could limit the price that certain investors might be willing to pay in the
future for shares of HIE Common Stock. Certain of such provisions will allow the
Company to issue Preferred Stock with rights senior to those of HIE Common Stock
and to impose various procedural and other requirements which could make it more
difficult for shareholders to effect certain corporate actions. See "Description
of Capital Stock."

ABSENCE OF DIVIDENDS

The Company has never paid any cash dividends on its capital stock and does
not anticipate paying any cash dividends on its capital stock in the foreseeable
future. See "Dividend Policy."

RISKS ASSOCIATED WITH FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS

This Prospectus contains certain forward-looking statements within the
meaning of Section 27A of the Securities Act and Section 21E of the Securities
Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the "Exchange Act"), which are intended to be
covered by the safe harbors created thereby. Investors are cautioned that all
forward-looking statements involve risks and uncertainties including, without
limitation, the factors set forth under the caption "Risk Factors" in this
Prospectus. Although the Company believes that the assumptions underlying the
forward-looking statements contained herein are reasonable, any of the
assumptions could be inaccurate, and therefore, there can be no assurance that
the forward-looking statements included in this Prospectus will prove to be
accurate. In light of the significant uncertainties inherent in the
forward-looking statements included herein, the inclusion of such information
should not be regarded as a representation by the Company or any other person
that the objectives and plans of the Company will be achieved.

THE COMPANY

The Company was incorporated as a Georgia corporation on June 15, 1994 and
was a wholly-owned subsidiary of Healthdyne, Inc. (the "Former Parent") until
November 6, 1995, when the Former Parent distributed to its shareholders all the
outstanding shares of the Company's Common Stock (the "Spin-Off").

HIE works with the following operationally independent, interrelated
entities referred to by the Company as Entrepreneurial Business Units ("EBUs"):
(i) Healthcare Communications, Inc., a Texas corporation ("HCI") which is a
wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company; (ii) Integrated Healthcare Solutions,
Inc., a Georgia corporation ("IHS") which is a wholly-owned subsidiary of the
Company; and (iii) Criterion Health Strategies, Inc., a Tennessee corporation
("CHS") in which the Company currently has a less than 1% equity interest. In
addition, prior to March 31, 1996, DataView Imaging International, Inc., a
Georgia corporation ("DataView") in which the Company had a controlling
interest, was treated as an EBU (see "Recent Developments"). Each EBU
specializes in one or more parts of HIE's comprehensive clinical information
solution. Each EBU provides its tools, products and services either
independently of or collaboratively with the other EBUs depending on a
particular customer's needs. The Consolidated Financial Statements of HIE and
subsidiaries include the results of operations and financial position of the
EBUs as appropriately determined in accordance with generally accepted
accounting principles by the amount and timing of HIE's investment in each EBU.

The principal executive offices of the Company are located at 1850 Parkway
Place, Suite 1100, Marietta, Georgia 30067, and the telephone number is (770)
423-8450. Except as otherwise noted herein, references to the "Company" or "HIE"
shall mean Healthdyne Information Enterprises, Inc. and its wholly-owned
subsidiaries HCI and IHS.

RECENT DEVELOPMENTS

On October 23, 1996, the Company announced that its consolidated revenue
for the three months ended September 30, 1996 was $4.0 million compared to $2.1
million for the three months ended September 30, 1995, representing a 90%
increase. Net earnings for the third quarter of 1996 increased to $280,000, or
$.01 per share, compared to a net loss of $1.2 million, or $.08 per share, in
the third quarter of 1995. For the nine-month period ended September 30, 1996,
consolidated revenue was $11.2 million, compared to $5.8 million for the
nine-month period ended September 30, 1995, representing a 92% increase. Net
earnings for the first three quarters of 1996 were $646,000, or $.03 per share,
compared to a net loss of $3.1 million, or $.20 per share, for the comparable
prior year period. These results are not necessarily indicative of the results
that may be expected for the full fiscal year ending December 31, 1996, but
include all adjustments, consisting only of normal recurring adjustments, that
the Company considers necessary for a fair presentation of its results of
operations for such periods.

Each of the Company and Massey Burch Capital Corp. ("Massey Burch")
currently holds less than 1% of the CHS common stock and an 8% convertible
debenture which is convertible into 32% of the CHS common stock on a fully
diluted basis. See "Business -- Organizational Structure -- Entrepreneurial
Business Units." On July 30, 1996, the Company and Massey Burch entered into an
agreement in principle which contemplates the purchase by the Company of an
option to acquire Massey Burch's investment in CHS. The option as currently
proposed would be exercisable at any time during the period from December 31,
1996 through June 30, 1997, with the option exercise price to be payable through
the issuance of the greater of 416,666 shares of the Company's Common Stock or
the equivalent number of shares having a fair market value of $2 million at the
time the option is exercised. The agreement in principle contemplates that, as
consideration for the grant of this option, the Company will issue to Massey
Burch a warrant to purchase 50,000 shares of the Company's Common Stock at fair
market value as of the date of grant. The agreement further contemplates that
Massey Burch will be granted registration rights with respect to both the shares
of Common Stock underlying the warrant and the shares issuable upon the
Company's exercise of the proposed option. Massey Burch will continue to be
subject to its commitment to fund CHS up to a maximum of $2 million, of which
Massey Burch has funded $1.4 million as of August 31, 1996. The transactions
contemplated by the agreement in principle are subject to negotiation and
execution of definitive agreements

12
<PAGE> 13

and other customary conditions, as well as certain rights of first refusal in
favor of CHS and other CHS shareholders. There can be no assurance that
definitive agreements will be entered into or, even if entered into, that the
transaction will be consummated as described above or that the Company would
exercise an option to acquire Massey Burch's interest in CHS. See Note 13 of
Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements.

On June 12, 1996, HIE entered into an agreement effective April 1, 1996,
with DataView, a majority-owned subsidiary acquired on July 22, 1994, providing
for a restructuring of the relationship between HIE and DataView due to a change
in HIE's strategic direction with respect to DataView. This agreement provides,
among other things, for a reduction in HIE's equity interest in DataView from
61.5% to 19.5% and perpetual royalty-free rights and licenses for HIE to use
DataView's clinical image management technology in HIE's service business. See
"Business -- Licenses and Distribution Agreements." Accordingly, subsequent to
March 31, 1996, DataView is no longer an EBU and DataView's financial position,
results of operations and cash flows are no longer included in HIE's
consolidated financial statements. See Note 13 of Notes to Consolidated
Financial Statements.

USE OF PROCEEDS

The net proceeds to be received by the Company from the sale of the
2,750,000 shares of Common Stock offered hereby are estimated to be
approximately $10,486,250 (approximately $12,134,187 if the Underwriter's
over-allotment option is exercised in full), after deducting underwriting
discounts and commissions and estimated offering expenses.

The Company intends to use the net proceeds of this Offering for working
capital and general corporate purposes, including satisfaction of the Company's
remaining funding commitment (not to exceed $700,000) to CHS, research and
development activities, and expansion of general sales and marketing activities.
A portion of the net proceeds may also be used to acquire or invest in
complementary products, technologies or businesses. The Company considers and
engages in discussions relating to such acquisitions and other opportunities on
a continual and ongoing basis. Except as set forth herein (see "Recent
Developments"), at the present time the Company has no understandings,
commitments or agreements, nor is it currently engaged in any negotiations with
respect to, any such transaction. Pending such uses, the Company intends to
invest the net proceeds in short-term, interest-bearing, investment grade
securities.

DIVIDEND POLICY

The Company has never paid any cash dividends with respect to its capital
stock and does not anticipate paying cash dividends in the foreseeable future.
The Company currently intends to retain all earnings, if any, for use in the
expansion of the Company's business. The payment of dividends, if any, in the
future with respect to the Company's capital stock is within the discretion of
the Board of Directors and will depend on the Company's earnings, capital
requirements, financial condition and other relevant factors.

CAPITALIZATION

The following table sets forth the capitalization of the Company as of June
30, 1996 on an actual basis and as adjusted to reflect the sale by the Company
of the 2,750,000 shares of Common Stock offered hereby at the public offering
price of $4.25 per share and the application of the net proceeds therefrom
(after deduction of underwriting discounts and commissions and estimated
offering expenses) as described under "Use of Proceeds." This table should be

DILUTION

The net tangible book value (deficit) of the Company at June 30, 1996 was
approximately $(1,301,000) or $(.08) per share of Common Stock. Net tangible
book value (deficit) per share represents the amount of the Company's net
tangible assets less total liabilities divided by the number of shares of Common
Stock outstanding. After giving effect to the sale by the Company of the
2,750,000 shares offered hereby (and after deducting underwriting discounts and
commissions and estimated offering expenses), the Company's pro forma net
tangible book value at June 30, 1996 would have been $9,185,000 or $.46 per
share of Common Stock. This represents an immediate increase in net tangible
book value of $.54 per share to existing shareholders and an immediate dilution
in net tangible book value of $3.79 per share to new investors purchasing shares
in this Offering. The following table illustrates this per share dilution.

The foregoing table assumes no exercise of outstanding options. As of
August 31, 1996, there were 2,843,462 shares of Common Stock reserved for
issuance upon the exercise of outstanding options, of which options to purchase
1,394,678 shares were then exercisable. See Note 8 of Notes to Consolidated
Financial Statements and "Management -- Stock Option and Other Plans." To the
extent these or additional outstanding options are exercised, there will be
further dilution to new investors. In addition, further dilution could occur
upon the exercise of the Company's outstanding convertible debenture due January
2, 1998 (see Notes 3 and 6 of Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements), the
exercise by the Company of a proposed option to acquire Massey Burch's
investment in CHS (see "Recent Developments"), or future equity financings by
the Company.

PRICE RANGE OF COMMON STOCK

The Company's Common Stock initially traded in the over-the-counter market
on the OTC Bulletin Board under the symbol "HDIE" from November 7, 1995 through
May 22, 1996. From May 23, 1996 through October 29, 1996, the Common Stock
traded on the Nasdaq SmallCap Market under the same symbol. The Company's Common
Stock commenced trading on the Nasdaq National Market on October 30, 1996 under
the same symbol, "HDIE."

The following table sets forth the high and low sales prices for the Common

ownership interest in HCI to 100% effective December 31, 1995; (ii) a
$1,430,000 reduction in goodwill related to DataView, which was impaired as
a result of a change in HIE's strategic direction with respect to DataView;
and (iii) a $300,000 expense to fully reserve the cost of an option
purchased by HIE in 1994 to acquire the remaining ownership interest in
DataView not held by HIE. See "Recent Developments" and Notes 3 and 13 of
Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements.
(2) Losses of affiliate, net includes the operating losses of CHS, which was a
development stage company with no history-to-date revenue and solely
financed by loans from HIE through December 4, 1995. See
"Business -- Organizational Structure -- Entrepreneurial Business Units."
It also includes HIE's 44% equity interest in the after-tax earnings
(losses) of HCI from October 27, 1994 (the date of HIE's initial investment
in HCI) to December 31, 1994 and the minority interest in HCI's after-tax
earnings (losses) during 1995 as a result of HIE increasing its equity
interest in HCI during 1995. See "Business -- Organizational

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

The following discussion contains forward-looking statements that involve
risks and uncertainties. The Company's actual results could differ materially
from those discussed here. Factors that could cause or contribute to such
differences include, but are not limited to, those discussed in this section, as
well as in the sections entitled "Risk Factors" and "Business."

OVERVIEW

The Company was incorporated in Georgia on June 15, 1994 and was, until the
Spin-Off on November 6, 1995, a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Former Parent. In
conjunction with its subsidiaries HCI and IHS and its affiliate CHS, the Company
is a leading provider of enterprise-wide clinical information management
solutions to emerging IDNs.

The Company generates revenue from licensing clinical information software
tools and products and providing related system design, integration,
implementation, support, training and consulting services as shown below.

HCI. HCI develops and markets software tools and products and provides
related services to the healthcare industry. HCI presently contributes the
majority of HIE's consolidated revenue through the Cloverleaf integration engine
software license fees and related implementation, maintenance and education
fees. Software licenses are granted on a perpetual basis for a one-time, upfront
fee. Implementation fees are based on actual hours of implementation service at
standard hourly rates. Software maintenance agreements are generally one-year
renewable service contracts for a prepaid standard fee. HCI charges a standard
per-student amount for its education classes.

IHS. IHS is a service company dedicated to providing healthcare
information solutions. IHS' revenue contribution to HIE has rapidly increased
since its formation in early 1995. IHS provides clinical and other information
solutions through the use of both proprietary and third-party software tools and
by providing related consulting, system design and integration services.
Software licenses and sublicenses are generally granted on a perpetual basis for
a one-time, upfront fee. Services are generally provided for fixed fees based on
estimated hours of service to be provided at standard hourly rates.

CHS. CHS is a healthcare decision support software and related services
company. CHS provides enterprise management and other decision support products
through the use of both proprietary and third-party software tools. The Company
does not currently consolidate the revenue of CHS. However, on July 30, 1996,
the Company entered into an agreement in principle with Massey Burch which
contemplates that the Company may acquire a majority interest in CHS. See
"Recent Developments."

The Company expects the following external factors to affect the market for
healthcare information systems tools, products and services in future years: (i)
the continued and accelerated emergence of IDNs; (ii) the shift from the
traditional fee-for-service reimbursement system to the capitated payment system
for healthcare services; (iii) the growing importance of comprehensive clinical
information in the managed patient care environment; (iv) the introduction of
cost accounting to the healthcare delivery system; and (v) the growing
world-wide need to control the cost of quality healthcare.

Software revenue is generally recognized upon shipment in accordance with
Statement of Position 91-1, Software Revenue Recognition. Service revenue is
recognized as the work is performed or, in the case of a fixed fee contract, on
the percentage of completion basis, even though some services are prepaid.

The Company's consolidated balance sheets include assets designated as
purchased software and capitalized software development costs. Purchased
software originates from purchases by HIE of proprietary software tools
developed by third parties and prepaid license fees for software tools to be
distributed by HIE on a non-exclusive basis. Certain costs of HIE proprietary
software developed internally are capitalized in accordance with generally
accepted accounting principles. The costs of individual software tools or
products

18
<PAGE> 19

are being amortized ratably based on the projected revenue associated with the
related software or on a straight-line basis over five years, whichever method
results in a higher level of amortization.

The excess of cost over net assets of acquired businesses (goodwill) is
being amortized over a period of fifteen years. At each balance sheet date, the
Company assesses the recoverability of this intangible asset by determining
whether the amortization of the goodwill balance over its remaining life can be
recovered through undiscounted future operating cash flows of the acquired
operation. The amount of goodwill impairment, if any, is measured based on
projected discounted future operating cash flows using a discount rate
reflecting the Company's average cost of funds. At the end of 1995, the Company
wrote off goodwill related to its investment in DataView in the amount of $1.4
million to reflect the impairment of such goodwill resulting from a change in
the Company's strategic direction with respect to DataView. See Notes 3 and 13
of Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements.

RECENT DEVELOPMENTS

On October 23, 1996, the Company announced that its consolidated revenue
for the three months ended September 30, 1996 was $4.0 million compared to $2.1
million for the three months ended September 30, 1995, representing a 90%
increase. Net earnings for the third quarter of 1996 increased to $280,000, or
$.01 per share, compared to a net loss of $1.2 million, or $.08 per share, in
the third quarter of 1995. For the nine-month period ended September 30, 1996,
consolidated revenue was $11.2 million, compared to $5.8 million for the
nine-month period ended September 30, 1995, representing a 92% increase. Net
earnings for the first three quarters of 1996 were $646,000, or $.03 per share,
compared to a net loss of $3.1 million, or $.20 per share, for the comparable
prior year period. These results are not necessarily indicative of the results
that may be expected for the full fiscal year ending December 31, 1996, but
include all adjustments, consisting only of normal recurring adjustments, that
the Company considers necessary for a fair presentation of its results of
operations for such periods.

Each of the Company and Massey Burch currently holds less than 1% of the
CHS common stock and an 8% convertible debenture which is convertible into 32%
of the CHS common stock on a fully diluted basis. See
"Business -- Organizational Structure -- Entrepreneurial Business Units." On
July 30, 1996, the Company and Massey Burch entered into an agreement in
principle which contemplates the purchase by the Company of an option to acquire
Massey Burch's investment in CHS. The option as currently proposed would be
exercisable at any time during the period from December 31, 1996 through June
30, 1997, with the option exercise price to be payable through the issuance of
the greater of 416,666 shares of the Company's Common Stock or the equivalent
number of shares having a fair market value of $2 million at the time the option
is exercised. The agreement in principle contemplates that, as consideration for
the grant of this option, the Company will issue to Massey Burch a warrant to
purchase 50,000 shares of the Company's Common Stock at fair market value as of
the date of grant. The agreement further contemplates that Massey Burch will be
granted registration rights with respect to both the shares of Common Stock
underlying the warrant and the shares issuable upon the Company's exercise of
the proposed option. Massey Burch will continue to be subject to its commitment
to fund CHS up to a maximum of $2 million, of which Massey Burch has funded $1.4
million as of August 31, 1996. The transactions contemplated by the agreement in
principle are subject to negotiation and execution of definitive agreements and
other customary conditions, as well as certain rights of first refusal in favor
of CHS and other CHS shareholders. There can be no assurance that definitive
agreements will be entered into or, even if entered into, that the transaction
will be consummated as described above or that the Company would exercise an
option to acquire Massey Burch's interest in CHS. See Note 13 of Notes to
Consolidated Financial Statements.

statements. See Note 13 of Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements.

</TABLE>

Comparison of Six Months Ended June 30, 1996 to Six Months Ended June 30, 1995

Revenue. Consolidated revenue was $7.3 million for the six months ended
June 30, 1996 compared to $3.8 million for the six months ended June 30, 1995,
an increase of 94%, even though DataView's revenue is no longer included in the
Company's consolidated revenue effective April 1, 1996 as discussed above.
During the first half of 1996, 56% of the Company's consolidated revenue was
attributable to software license fees for the Cloverleaf integration engine
software tool and related services as compared to 84% for the first half of
1995. The Company completed development of or acquired and began marketing
additional software tools, acquired distribution rights to other software tools
and expanded the system design and integration services capability of IHS during
1995. While revenue from integration engine license fees and related services
increased, the general availability of these new software tools and the growth
of IHS to meet the demand by IDNs for clinical information solutions were
primarily responsible for the Company's increased revenue for the six months
ended June 30, 1996.

Cost of Revenue. Cost of revenue includes, among other things,
compensation of service personnel, travel and software royalties and
amortization. The cost of revenue was $2.5 million for the six months ended June
30, 1996 compared to $944,000 for the six months ended June 30, 1995, an
increase of 169%. The increase in cost of revenue from 25% of revenue to 35% of
revenue between the first half of 1995 and the first half of 1996 is primarily
attributable to the shift in revenue mix toward services and cost inefficiencies
associated with the rapid growth of IHS' service organization to handle the
increased demand for its system design and integration services.

Gross Profit. The Company's gross profit increased to $4.7 million for the
six months ended June 30, 1996 from $2.8 million for the six months ended June
30, 1995, an increase of 68%. Gross profit as a percent of revenue decreased to
65% for the first half of 1996 compared to 75% for the first half of 1995, due
to a shift in

21
<PAGE> 22

revenue mix. The revenue mix shifted from 57% software and 43% service for the
first half of 1995 to 43% software and 57% service for the first half of 1996.
The main reason for the shift was the increase in system design and integration
services provided by IHS. While software revenue, which has relatively high
gross profit margins, increased to $3.2 million for the six months ended June
30, 1996 from $2.1 million for the six months ended June 30, 1995, a 47%
increase, service revenue, which normally has lower gross profit margins than
software, increased to $4.1 million for the six months ended June 30, 1996 from
$1.6 million for the six months ended June 30, 1995, or 156%. The Company
expects its consolidated revenue mix to approximate 50% software and 50% service
for the foreseeable future.

Sales and Marketing. Sales and marketing expense includes, among other
things, compensation of sales and marketing personnel, sales commissions, travel
and advertising. Sales and marketing expense was $1.7 million for the six months
ended June 30, 1996 compared to $1.5 million for the six months ended June 30,
1995, an increase of 14%, due primarily to the net effect of increased sales
personnel costs, sales commissions and travel expenses associated with increased
sales staffing and the increase in revenue, offset in part by the exclusion of
DataView from the Company's consolidated operating results for the second
quarter of 1996 as discussed above. Sales and marketing expense as a percent of
revenue decreased from 40% for the first half of 1995 to 23% for the first half
of 1996, reflecting the increased productivity of the Company's internal sales
force and its distributors.

Research and Development. Research and development expense includes, among
other things, compensation of research and development personnel, depreciation
and lease expense of development equipment and travel. Research and development
expense was $605,000 for the six months ended June 30, 1996 compared to $828,000
for the six months ended June 30, 1995, representing a 27% decrease, due
primarily to the capitalization of internally developed software costs totaling
$445,000 and secondarily to the exclusion of DataView from the Company's
consolidated operating results for the second quarter of 1996 as discussed
above. No such costs qualified for capitalization under generally accepted
accounting principles in the first half of 1995.

General and Administrative. General and administrative expense includes,
among other things, compensation of finance, accounting and administrative
personnel, goodwill amortization, office rent and insurance. General and
administrative expense was approximately $1.8 million for both the six months
ended June 30, 1996 and 1995. The slight decrease of $31,000 between the two
periods was due primarily to the net effect of (i) increased goodwill
amortization related primarily to the step acquisition of HCI during 1995; (ii)
identifiable expenses of being a new public company; (iii) increased IHS
administrative staffing costs to support IHS' current and projected growth; (iv)
decreased staffing, outside service expense and other administrative costs at
HCI resulting from cost control measures initiated during the fourth quarter of
1995 and the first quarter of 1996; and (v) the exclusion of DataView from the
Company's consolidated operating results for the second quarter of 1996 as
discussed above.

Losses of Affiliate. Losses of affiliate, which resulted from the
Company's commitment to fund CHS, totaled $468,000 in the first half of 1995.
The December 1995 transaction with Massey Burch provided for a sharing of the
Company's funding commitment to CHS and has had the additional result of
relieving the Company of the requirement to report a loss from CHS in the first
half of 1996.

Minority Interest. The minority interest in net loss of subsidiary
totaling $20,000 in the first half of 1995 related to HCI, and such minority
interest is no longer applicable as a result of HIE's increased ownership
interest in HCI to 100% effective December 31, 1995.

Interest Expense, Net. Net interest expense increased to $235,000 for the
six months ended June 30, 1996 from $85,000 for the six months ended June 30,
1995, representing a 176% increase. This increase relates primarily to the net
effect of (i) increased interest expense associated with financing the increased
HCI ownership interest referred to above; (ii) increased interest expense
related to additional HCI debt incurred to finance a prepaid exclusive
reseller's license for screen scraping technology during the second quarter of
1995; and (iii) reduced HCI interest expense under a financing agreement
renegotiated at a lower interest rate effective January 1, 1996.

22
<PAGE> 23

Income Taxes. The Company has no provision for income taxes for the six
months ended June 30, 1996 due to the utilization of available net operating
loss carryforward benefits. The income tax expense of $45,000 for the six months
ended June 30, 1995 relates to HCI, which filed a separate income tax return
prior to HIE increasing its ownership interest in HCI to 100% effective December
31, 1995.

Comparison of Year Ended December 31, 1995 to Period from Inception (June 15,
1994) to December 31, 1994

Revenue. HIE's consolidated revenue for the year ended December 31, 1995
increased to $8.7 million due primarily to the acquisition of HCI, which had
revenue of $5.1 million for 1994, and secondarily to the growth of both HCI and
IHS. Consolidated revenue for Partial Year 1994 was $153,000, due primarily to
the July 1994 acquisition of the teleradiology computer system operations of
DataView.

Cost of Revenue. The cost of revenue was $2.6 million in the year ended
December 31, 1995 compared to $65,000 in Partial Year 1994, representing a
decrease in cost of revenue to 30% of revenue in the year ended December 31,
1995 from 42% of revenue in Partial Year 1994. This decrease was attributable to
the net effect of the addition of HCI's relatively low-cost software revenue in
1995, offset somewhat by the addition and growth of both HCI's and IHS' service
businesses in 1995.

Gross Profit. HIE's gross profit was $6.1 million in the year ended
December 31, 1995 compared to $88,000 in Partial Year 1994, representing an
increase in gross profit as a percent of revenue to 70% for the year ended
December 31, 1995 from 58% for Partial Year 1994, due primarily to the higher
margin HCI business being included in the 1995 operating results.

Sales and Marketing. Sales and marketing expense was $3.4 million in the
year ended December 31, 1995 compared to $186,000 in Partial Year 1994,
representing an increase of $3.2 million. The majority of this increase was
attributable to the consolidation of HCI's operating results with HIE effective
January 1, 1995 pursuant to HIE's acquisition of a majority interest in HCI
during 1995. Even though HCI's operating results were not consolidated with HIE
in Partial Year 1994, HCI's sales and marketing expense increased between 1994
and 1995 due to (i) the increased size of the internal sales force to supplement
the efforts of the distributor channel; (ii) increased domestic and
international market research expense; (iii) increased sales and marketing
collateral material expense; and (iv) increased sales-related expenses, such as
sales commissions and travel, associated with HCI's $1.6 million increase in
revenue. IHS increased sales and marketing expense between 1994 and 1995 due to
increased staffing of its direct sales force and increased sales commissions and
sales-related expenses, such as travel, advertising and brochures, related to a
$1.6 million increase in its revenue. The remainder of the increased sales and
marketing expense was due to the timing of the Company's acquisition of DataView
in 1994.

Research and Development. Research and development expense was $1.9
million in the year ended December 31, 1995 compared to $192,000 in Partial Year
1994, representing an increase of $1.7 million. The majority of the increase was
attributable to the consolidation of HCI's operating results with HIE effective
January 1, 1995 pursuant to HIE's acquisition of a majority interest in HCI
during 1995. Even though HCI's operating results were not consolidated with HIE
in Partial Year 1994, the increase in HCI's research and development expense
between 1994 and 1995 was due to increased staffing associated with porting
HCI's Cloverleaf integration engine to several other platforms. IHS increased
research and development expense due to increased staffing for the Clinical
Assessment and Support System ("CASS") software tool development. The remainder
of the increased research and development expense was due to the timing of the
Company's acquisition of DataView in 1994.

General and Administrative. General and administrative expense was $4.3
million in the year ended December 31, 1995 compared to $980,000 in Partial Year
1994, representing an increase of $3.4 million. A majority of the increase was
attributable to the consolidation of HCI's operating results with HIE effective
January 1, 1995 pursuant to HIE's acquisition of a majority interest in HCI
during 1995. Even though HCI's operating results were not consolidated with HIE
in 1994, HCI's general and administrative expense increased between 1994 and
1995 due primarily to increased general and administrative infrastructure
expense to handle anticipated future growth. HIE's general and administrative
expense increased due to increased goodwill

23
<PAGE> 24

amortization related to the acquisitions of HCI and DataView and the increased
cost of building the HIE corporate infrastructure, including allocated general
and administrative expenses from the Former Parent. The remainder of the
increased general and administrative expense was due to the cost of building the
IHS general and administrative infrastructure to handle anticipated future
growth and the timing of the Company's acquisition of DataView in 1994.

Purchased In-Process Research and Development. In conjunction with HIE's
43% increase in its ownership interest in HCI to 100% effective December 31,
1995, approximately $3.6 million of the purchase price was allocated to
purchased in-process research and development and expensed during the year ended
December 31, 1995 in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles.

Goodwill Impairment and Investment Option Reserve. At the end of 1995,
goodwill of $1.4 million attributable to DataView was written off to reflect an
impairment of such goodwill resulting from a change in HIE's strategic direction
with respect to DataView. For the same reason, HIE established a $300,000
reserve to fully reserve the cost of HIE's option to increase its ownership
interest in DataView to 100%.

Losses of Affiliate. CHS was a development stage enterprise with no
history-to-date revenue through early 1996. CHS was solely funded by loans from
HIE until early December 1995, at which time Massey Burch began to share HIE's
funding commitment to CHS. Accordingly, all of CHS' operating losses up to HIE's
$1.3 million history-to-date advances to CHS were recorded by HIE as losses of
affiliate. The substantial increase in losses of affiliate during 1995 was due
to the fact that the Company's investment in CHS occurred near the end of 1994.

Interest Expense, Net. Interest expense relates primarily to an HCI vendor
financing agreement for the prior year development of its integration engine
technology. The interest income relates primarily to interest earned on
consolidated cash balances.

Income Taxes. HIE's income tax benefit for the year ended December 31,
1995 represents the income tax benefit that can be realized by HCI through
carry-back claims against HCI's 1994 income taxes paid.

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

From inception through the Spin-Off, the Company financed both its
operations and its investments in EBUs primarily through equity investments by
the Former Parent, which totaled $22.0 million and $11.0 million at December 31,
1995 and 1994, respectively. Following the Spin-Off, the Former Parent has had
no obligation to make additional advances or equity infusions in the Company.
Since the Spin-Off, the Company has funded its operations and acquisitions and
investments in EBUs through internally generated funds or the issuance of debt
and equity. The Company's plans for future working capital and other capital
requirements are discussed below.

The Company has working capital of $2.5 million at June 30, 1996 compared
to $2.7 million at December 31, 1995. Cash decreased $1.2 million during the
first half of the year ending December 31, 1996 compared to a $1.3 million
increase during the first half of the year ended December 31, 1995 for the
reasons discussed below.

Net cash provided by operating activities totaled $958,000 for the first
half of the year ending December 31, 1996 compared to net cash used in operating
activities of $2.3 million for the first half of the year ended December 31,
1995. The $3.2 million total variance between the two periods reflects increased
cash flow from the net earnings recorded in the first half of the year ending
December 31, 1996 compared to the net loss in the first half of the year ended
December 31, 1995 and various changes in the components of

25
<PAGE> 26

working capital, most notably increases in deferred service revenue and accounts
payable offset somewhat by increased trade accounts receivable due to increased
revenue and higher days revenue in accounts receivable.

Net cash used in investing activities was $1.3 million for the first half
of the year ending December 31, 1996 compared to $1.7 million for the first half
of 1995. During the first half of the year ending December 31, 1996, the Company
made a higher level of payments for a third-party developed software tool and
prepaid licenses for other software tools. As previously discussed, the Company
capitalized $445,000 of internally developed software costs during the first
half of the year ending December 31, 1996. The decrease in capital expenditures
reflects the Company's current preference for leasing, versus purchasing,
computer equipment. The acquisition of business in the first half of the year
ended December 31, 1995 relates to HCI as previously discussed.

Net cash used in financing activities was $873,000 during the first half of
the year ending December 31, 1996 compared to net cash provided by financing
activities of $5.3 million during the first half of 1995. Prior to the Spin-Off,
the Former Parent funded HIE's operations and investments as reflected in the
$5.3 million capital contribution during the first half of the year ended
December 31, 1995. The long-term debt payments shown in the first half of the
year ending December 31, 1996 primarily relate to the payoff of the $1.1 million
note payable associated with the HCI step-acquisition effective December 31,
1995. The proceeds from the issuance of common stock relate to the exercise of
stock options held by employees of the Former Parent.

The Company has $1.7 million of debt financing maturing over the next
twelve months, of which $1.1 million could be satisfied with HCI's products
and/or services at the lender's option. During May 1996, HCI renewed its $1.0
million line of credit with a bank on similar terms and conditions as the
expiring line of credit with said bank. The Company is currently pursuing, but
has no commitment to receive, at least a $2.0 million line of credit from a bank
or a financial institution for unanticipated working capital needs. Potential
future sources of long-term financing include additional public or private
offerings by the Company or a public or private offering by one or more EBUs,
depending on the Company's or EBU's actual and planned performance and the
conditions in the equity market at the time. However, there can be no assurance
that such financings could be consummated on terms acceptable to the Company, if
at all. The Company believes that current available cash, the net proceeds from
this Offering and anticipated cash flow from operating activities will be
sufficient to meet the Company's capital requirements, including the payment of
all maturing debt in cash and its remaining funding commitment to CHS, for at
least the next twelve months and for the foreseeable future.

In 1995, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued Statements of
Financial Accounting Standards No. 121 ("SFAS 121"), Accounting for the
Impairment of Long-lived Assets and for Long-lived Assets to be Disposed of, and
No. 123 ("SFAS 123"), Accounting for Stock-based Compensation, both of which
standards are effective in 1996. The Company does not expect the effect of the
adoption of SFAS 121 to be material. The Company has not yet quantified the
expected effect of the adoption of SFAS 123 disclosure.

BUSINESS

INTRODUCTION

The Company is a leading provider of enterprise-wide clinical information
management solutions to emerging IDNs. The Company employs advanced technology
to develop the software tools and applications that enable the creation of the
computer-based patient record ("CPR") and related enterprise-wide management
decision support systems, and which leverage investments in existing information
systems. The Company's tools, products and services provide: (i) enterprise-wide
integration of information systems and indexing of patient records; (ii)
clinical information integration and decision support at the point-of-care; and
(iii) management decision support systems based upon access to comprehensive
enterprise-wide clinical, financial and other information. The Company's
solutions enable its customers to reduce the cost of delivering healthcare
through increased productivity and to improve the quality of care through
analysis of outcomes and continuous improvement of patient care processes.

INDUSTRY BACKGROUND

Over the past two decades, healthcare costs have risen dramatically
relative to the overall rate of inflation, exceeding $1 trillion in 1995.
Historically, reimbursement for healthcare services provided by hospitals,
physicians, clinics and other healthcare organizations has been based on a
fee-for-service model of payment. With increasing pressure to reduce costs,
managed care organizations and other payers are shifting the economic risk of
the delivery of care to providers through alternative reimbursement models,
including capitation and fixed fees. In response to the changing reimbursement
environment, healthcare organizations such as hospitals, multi-specialty
physician groups, laboratories, pharmacies, home health services and nursing
homes are integrating horizontally and vertically to create IDNs. IDNs, often
dominated by large hospitals, are designed to serve all of the healthcare needs
of local or regional populations while achieving economies of scale. Large
metropolitan areas are increasingly being served by only a few IDNs where once
many hospitals and physicians competed for patients. In addition, the pressure
to reduce the costs of healthcare delivery has resulted in a trend toward an
increasing percentage of healthcare being delivered on an outpatient as opposed
to an inpatient basis.

In order for IDNs to lower healthcare delivery costs while improving the
quality of patient care, they need access to detailed clinical and management
information that enables providers within the IDN to (i) manage the patient care
process across multiple delivery sites; (ii) analyze the appropriateness of
diagnoses, treatments and resource utilization; (iii) compare provider practices
and clinical outcomes; (iv) monitor performance under managed care contracts;
(v) monitor practice patterns of providers; and (vi) support communications
among members of the care team. An integral element of this process is the CPR,
an electronic patient record that resides in a system specifically designed to
support users by providing access to complete and accurate data, alerts,
reminders, clinical decision support systems, links to medical libraries and
other aids. Creation of the CPR requires three key technologies: integration of
disparate information systems; indexing of patient information across the IDN;
and decision support systems that access information at the point-of-care and on
an enterprise-wide level. With the development of the CPR and related management
decision tools, providers will have immediate on-line access to more
comprehensive patient care information across multiple delivery sites to guide
them in controlling healthcare costs, improving patient outcomes and
facilitating responsiveness to competitive and regulatory challenges in the
healthcare market. The implementation of a multi-entity, multi-site CPR is
extremely complex given the different technologies, information strategies and
legacy systems of the entities comprising an IDN.

and furthermore that its tools, products and services will serve as a platform
from which the next generation information systems will be created.

The Company offers comprehensive system design, integration, implementation
and other services related to its software tools and products. The Company
believes that each customer's needs will vary according to its existing
technology infrastructure and healthcare delivery requirements. As a result, the
Company's philosophy is to work jointly with each customer to identify the tools
and products needed to best meet its requirements. The Company seeks to
establish long-term relationships with its customers and to obtain recurring
revenue from multiple projects undertaken with each customer.

The Company's tools, products and services fall into three broad areas,
each of which represents a critical component of the CPR: (i) integration and
patient indexing tools, which provide enterprise-wide communication and
connectivity; (ii) clinical workstation tools, which bring clinical information
to the providers at the point-of-care; and (iii) enterprise management tools,
which create decision support systems based on comprehensive enterprise-wide
clinical, financial and other information. The following chart illustrates the
relationships among these areas:

Omitted Graphic and Image Material

Integration Tools. In order to create the comprehensive CPR, it is
necessary to draw together a diverse range of data distributed throughout a
multitude of computer applications within an IDN. The Company's integration
tools and services enable providers to access heterogeneous clinical information
located on multiple disparate systems throughout the IDN and elsewhere on a
cost-effective, real-time basis. The Company's Community Person Index ("CPI"),
working with an integration engine, enables the provider to retrieve
patient-specific clinical information from disparate systems and reduce the
number of redundant patient records.

Clinical Workstation Tools. A second critical element of the CPR is the
capability to provide access to patient clinical data from a workstation at the
point-of-care or elsewhere. The Company has designed its tools, products and
services to allow a physician to access clinical information from a single
workstation that is equipped with a keyboard, mouse, voice or touch screen. The
Company's workflow tools and imaging technologies provide a paperless
environment in which physicians can order, monitor and control medical services
such as lab tests and pharmacy orders. The Company's workflow products operate
over local and wide area networks, intranets and the Internet. A physician with
access to such clinical information would be aware

28
<PAGE> 29

of each patient's complete medical history on demand at the point-of-care or
elsewhere. The Company believes that providers can use such information to
reduce unnecessary treatment and duplicate diagnostic testing and related costs,
as well as to improve outcomes.

Enterprise Management Tools. A third critical element of the CPR is
accessible decision support systems. In order to develop enterprise-wide
decision support systems, IDNs need tools to (i) extract and analyze financial,
operational, clinical and other available data; (ii) deploy the results of the
analyses as feedback to physicians to improve protocols, practice standards and
guidelines; and (iii) provide feedback to operations managers and executives to
monitor and improve operational and financial performance. The Company has
designed its enterprise management tools to support financial, operational and
clinical analyses including advanced capabilities for automated management,
scheduling, and distribution of such information and analyses. The Company
believes that these tools can enable provider organizations to both measure and
improve the cost efficiency and quality of care.

STRATEGY

The Company's objective is to become the leading provider of advanced
clinical information solutions, tools and related services for the evolving
healthcare market. The following are key elements of the Company's strategy:

Capitalize on Emergence of IDNs. The Company believes that the
anticipated rapid growth in clinical information systems expenditures will
result from the ongoing formation and growth of IDNs in response to the
changing dynamics of the healthcare industry. The Company further believes
that both the rapid expansion of IDNs and the shift from the inpatient to
the outpatient delivery of healthcare heighten the need for clinical
information systems and network integration tools and services. The Company
will continue to target the physicians, hospitals and medical centers
around which IDNs are forming.

Focus on High-Value Solutions. The decision by a healthcare provider
to replace or substantially upgrade its information systems typically
involves a major commitment of capital and an extended review and approval
process. The Company's sales philosophy is to shorten the sales process
with a "small wins" sales strategy. The Company breaks large healthcare
information systems projects into small projects and helps the customer
prioritize the smaller projects according to value as measured by return on
investment. By demonstrating its capabilities to initially implement
smaller projects, the Company believes that its customers will be more
likely to retain the Company to implement larger healthcare information
systems projects.

Expand Three-Tiered Distribution. The Company relies on three
distribution channels, consisting of direct sales forces at both the HIE
and the EBU level and third-party distributors and OEMs, to sell its tools,
products and services. The HIE sales force, the members of which the
Company refers to as "client partners," are responsible for initiating or
expanding customer relationships with the top executives within an
organization by identifying one or more projects that would enable HIE to
demonstrate the capabilities of its tools, products and services.
Secondarily, each EBU has a sales force primarily focused on its tools,
products and services. The EBUs' direct sales forces are capable of
presenting the entire HIE portfolio of tools, products and services to
sales prospects, which can lead to cross-selling opportunities. Finally,
the Company also sells its products through distributors and OEMs. The
Company intends to aggressively pursue the expansion of its distribution
channels by adding additional select third-party channel partners with
complementary tool, product and service offerings.

Provide Technologically Advanced Open Solutions. The Company is
committed to being a leading provider of advanced technology solutions and
to maintaining its open architecture product strategy. The Company has
employed several advanced technologies including object-oriented
programming, object management, workflow computing and data warehousing and
mining in the development of its CPI, CASS and COPPS tools and products.
The Company's tools and products are designed to work in conjunction with a
customer's existing systems infrastructure. As a result, customers can
readily implement specific, single-product solutions to immediate, or
tactical, information systems needs. HIE

29
<PAGE> 30

intends to continue investing in advanced technology solutions that meet
the changing information needs of its customers.

Establish New EBUs through Acquisitions or Internal Development. The
Company believes that it is well-positioned to capitalize on the
significant growth opportunities which exist in the healthcare information
systems industry. In pursuit of such growth opportunities, the Company has
established EBUs both through acquisitions and through internal
development. Each EBU is a stand-alone business focused on the delivery of
specific parts of the Company's overall solutions in a coordinated effort
with the other EBUs. The Company believes that the coordinated autonomy of
the EBU structure (i) enhances market awareness and presence on multiple
fronts; (ii) provides the Company with multiple entry points to sales
opportunities; (iii) promotes the rapid development and deployment of new,
open architecture core technology that is not burdened by the evolution of
legacy system technology; (iv) broadens customer relationships; and (v)
facilitates the recruitment of entrepreneurial executive talent. The
Company will continue to evaluate potential acquisitions and to consider
the development of businesses internally which would enable the Company to
continue to improve its information systems solutions for its customers by
leveraging existing strengths, adding core technological competencies and
expanding its product offerings.

TOOLS, PRODUCTS AND SERVICES

While the general information needs of IDNs are similar, the individual
tools, products and services needed to accomplish specific local community
integration are quite diverse. This diversity is due to, among other things, the
existing information system infrastructure and the number and capability of
technical resources available in the network. Accordingly, HIE offers a modular
solution to meet the specific clinical information needs of a particular IDN.
One network may only require integration services. Another network may only need
clinical imaging. A third network may require HIE's entire clinical information
solution. In all situations, HIE helps customers to evaluate their existing
information systems and to develop solutions that leverage those systems and
technologies in a manner that best fit the customers' needs. These solutions can
then form the foundation for the customer's next generation clinical information
system. The Company's software tools and products are sold on a per seat,
processor and/or site basis and range in unit price from less than $1,000 to
$250,000 with a median price of approximately $100,000. The Company prices its
services on a per hour or fixed fee basis at hourly rates depending upon the
skills of the applicable service personnel and the estimated duration of the
service engagement.

Integration Tools

The Company's integration tools link the information systems of physicians,
practice groups, hospitals, payers and other healthcare constituents within
local and regional IDNs. The Company's integration tools and products include:

Cloverleaf Integration Engine. The Cloverleaf integration engine provides
a tactical solution for replacing individual system-to-system interfaces within
an IDN. The Company believes that as provider networks move beyond a single
hospital or medical facility, the integration engine will evolve to become the
strategic hub for the IDN's next generation information system. Cloverleaf has
the capability of connecting message streams and data structures from disparate
systems both locally and over wide area networks. It facilitates data
interchange by connecting different applications and hardware together via an
open architecture concept involving standard protocols. This interface,
integration and migration tool routes and reformats data, changes communications
protocols and combines and explodes messages to keep network systems
synchronized.

The integration engine improves the accuracy, delivery, availability and
recoverability of clinical information through the following advantages:
information pooling of all system data for better analysis and quality of
patient care; integration and communication of binary, x-ray, digital and other
sources of data; and security defined on a per connection basis with multi-level
audit trails for any or all transactions. Cloverleaf is designed to reduce
ongoing support costs by incorporating a graphical user interface that allows
users to easily design their own integration interfaces.

Cloverleaf Gateway. The Cloverleaf gateway product is a limited function
version of the Cloverleaf integration engine that facilitates communications
between a specific third-party application and other healthcare systems on a
network. While the Cloverleaf integration engine is a more generic interface
that enables multiple systems to communicate among each other, the Cloverleaf
gateway only connects a particular system to multiple systems. As a result,
resellers and distributors may use the gateway as a flexible solution to
accommodate a more specialized interface between a specific healthcare
application and other third-party applications in a situation where the user is
not concerned about the interface between the third-party applications.

Compass Screen Scraper. The Compass screen scraper facilitates data
interchange with legacy healthcare information systems which do not use standard
protocols. It connects systems by reading data streams as they come from the
mainframe and automatically translates the character-based information into a
graphical interface. The features of Compass include easy configuration using
point-and-click methods; support of data storage and retrieval in a variety of
relational data models through storage-independent libraries; and an application
programming interface ("API") for OEM development of new user applications which
interoperate with other applications. The Company's screen scraper technology is
licensed from ICS (Sales) Ltd. See "-- Licenses and Distribution Agreements."

Express Single Log-On. Express Single Log-On is a terminal emulator which
allows a provider to log onto disparate healthcare information systems from a
single dumb terminal or a personal computer running Windows or NT. In addition
to eliminating unnecessary hardware, Express Single Log-On saves a user the time
of logging into multiple security systems of an IDN.

Community Person Index. Each healthcare information system typically has
its own master patient index ("MPI") as a key to information contained in its
database. The CPI integrates MPIs of multiple disparate information systems so
that a physician or other healthcare provider can request from or link to
clinical information on these systems. IDNs use the CPI as a tactical tool to
minimize duplicate patient records, improve data access time and ensure accurate
linkages of disparate clinical information. The Company believes that IDNs can
use the CPI as a strategic tool to lay the foundation for the CPR by
establishing the enterprise-wide shared MPI for a system comprised of multiple
information systems.

The CPI is both vendor and interface engine independent. Its advantages
include a cross-referenced index which can be used as a foundation for an
enterprise-wide data repository or warehouse; duplicate record detection and
resolution functions; remote system indexing and data location information to
link disparate

32
<PAGE> 33

systems; management of demographic information; support of customer-defined
event history; and scalable distributed architecture to support a larger IDN.

Clinical Workstation Tools

The Company's clinical workstation tools enable the efficient collection,
indexing, storage and retrieval of clinical and other data from disparate
systems in a multi-user environment. The Company has integrated its CASS tool
with the CPI so that an HIE healthcare information solution can efficiently
direct an integration engine to retrieve clinical information requested by a
provider. The requested information can take a variety of forms called
"objects." Objects may be data, such as patient demographic information from a
hospital information system; clinical images, such as an x-ray from an
orthopedic surgeon's office; document images, such as scanned copy of a
hard-copy lab report; signals, such as an EKG; videos from a telemedicine
encounter; or voices, such as a radiologist's comments on an MRI. HIE's clinical
workstation can capture, index and store the requested objects. In addition, the
Company's object management tools maximize the efficiency of a paperless patient
care process by using third-party licensed workflow software tools which
optimize the flow of objects and eliminate unnecessary human intervention with
such objects.

Clinical Assessment and Support System. CASS is an intuitive, interactive
tool used by the physician at the point-of-care not only to access clinical
information about the patient, but also to document the clinical aspects of the
patient encounter and to assist the physician with patient assessment, diagnosis
and care planning. CASS is designed to be tailored to the user's specifications.
The physician can use his own protocols and care plans, tailor those from other
physicians or use those provided by his affiliated provider organization or
others. Aside from its ease of use and ease of customization, CASS features
include "Heads Up Display" problem lists or alerts for medical history
complications, medications and allergies; question drivers for recording
comprehensive medical history and risk management information about the patient;
results tracking with flags and reminders; voice annotation to elaborate on
findings; pharmacy and formulary tools with allergy and drug-to-drug interaction
warnings; and menu-driven diagnosis and care planning tools to easily document
each patient encounter. CASS also provides a Subjective Objective Assessment
Plan ("SOAP") to assist the provider with documentation and assessment of the
patient's condition through subjective questions and objective findings,
analysis of data, formulation of a diagnosis and development of a longitudinal
care plan.

Document Image Management. The document image management tools enhance the
management of all information within the enterprise. The features of these tools
include on-line processing of reports, documents and clinical images across the
network, reduced paper handling and streamlined business processes. These
features allow the healthcare enterprise to operate in a "paperless" or "near
paperless" environment. As a result, providers using the Company's imaging tools
can improve access to patient medical records and data; reduce lost documents;
decrease storage space costs; remotely access information; and concurrently
access information and images. These tools incorporate document image management
technology from InterTech Imaging Corporation and the OPEN/cold plus software
from Wang Laboratories, Inc. ("Wang").

Workflow Management. The workflow tools allow providers to workflow-enable
key business processes by integrating multiple disparate systems across the
enterprise into a system designed to improve the efficiency of each process and
reduce related paperwork. In addition, the workflow software collects and
analyzes metrics which reveal bottlenecks and identify business rules so that a
provider can intelligently reengineer key business processes. Providers using
the Company's workflow tools can: integrate information from disparate systems;
integrate clinical imaging, voice and video with traditional data and documents;
streamline business processes; improve internal and external communications; and
improve customer satisfaction. These tools incorporate imaging and workflow
technologies from Wang.

Intranet and Internet Workflow Management. The Company has combined
internet technologies with imaging and workflow technologies to deliver timely,
accurate information from disparate systems to the desktop using an industry
standard user interface. These tools provide an "Internet Cooperative" which
allows customers to share applications, thereby reducing each customer's
investment in the development of these applications. The Company also provides
the following intranet applications which leverage investment in

33
<PAGE> 34

existing systems by implementing internet technologies within an organization on
the provider's existing network: on-line policy and procedures manual, employee
handbook, patient referrals, physician directory and enterprise-wide calendar of
events and phone book. These intranet tools also eliminate support costs related
to adding new software to client personal computers and reduction of other
support and maintenance costs because application software can be developed and
maintained in a central location. These tools incorporate intranet and internet
workflow management technology from Action Technologies, Inc.

Desktop Integration. The Company's desktop integration tools create a
single point of access for all applications in the enterprise. In addition, they
provide enterprise-wide access to objects other than applications. As a result,
project plans, spreadsheets, word processing documents and other objects may be
shared among groups of users across the enterprise for collaborative computing
and decision making. The desktop integration tools also secure the desktop by
enforcing a single point of system log-on. This log-on is verified at a central
location and, if successful, allows the end-user to access an individually
customized desktop configuration. This configuration is tailored specifically to
the person accessing the system and grants only those privileges necessary for
the user to operate the system.

Teleradiology Computer Systems. The Company believes that the migration by
providers to IDNs is creating a demand for a CPR that incorporates clinical
images, diagnostic impressions and other non-text data from disparate systems
and applications. The Company provides teleradiology tools that allow the
instant capture and transmission of medical images throughout the IDN involving
radiology, cardiology, pathology and other telemedicine data objects. These
FDA-approved tools can be linked to a personal computer in a physician's home
and are designed to provide teleradiology connectivity between rural hospitals
and larger medical centers. See "-- Licenses and Distribution Agreements."

Clinical Image Management. The key features of the clinical image
management tools include: a diagnostic viewing station, an internal networking
system, film printing, a Dicom interface providing a universal file format for
connectivity to other core systems, televideo and teleconferencing and an
archival system for patient records. These tools incorporate clinical image
management technology from DataView. See "-- Licenses and Distribution
Agreements."

Enterprise Management Tools

The Company's enterprise management tools, which it licenses from CHS (see
"-- Licenses and Distribution Agreements"), access data that exist in a variety
of databases across an IDN to provide consolidated mission-critical information
as the basis for more comprehensive analysis. With such enterprise-wide
consolidated information, customers can better analyze and understand key
relationships between the various dimensions of their business, especially
clinical and financial performance. The Company's enterprise management tools
include the following:

COPPS Information Management Tools. With the COPPS Information Management
Tool Set, an organization can access financial, operational, clinical and other
data stored in a variety of databases across the enterprise, and consolidate
identified mission-critical information into a business data model which
reflects the key information requirements of the various business disciplines.
The COPPS tool set manages (i) the complex task of consolidating data from the
source systems; (ii) the mapping and transformation of data into the customer's
business data model; and (iii) the changes to the business data model as the
customer's information needs change. The COPPS Information Management Tool Set
manages the consolidation of a variety of enterprise data, including physician
practice management, financial, clinical, contract management and other data
from disparate systems to one point of access. CHS licenses its information
management technology from Fiserv CIR, Inc. See "-- Licenses and Distribution
Agreements."

COPPS Console. The COPPS Console, a sophisticated workstation tool,
provides customers with the ability to analyze and report on information in the
way that they want it presented. Through advanced scheduling and distribution
capabilities, the COPPS Console can fully automate analysis and report
production and then route the results to key information users to most
effectively deploy information throughout the organization on a timely basis.
These capabilities can satisfy individuals' information needs without requiring
every individual to be capable of running a workstation. For example, as
organizations

34
<PAGE> 35

broadly implement clinical workstation tools, the COPPS Console can
automatically complete the feedback loop necessary for improving the delivery of
cost-effective quality healthcare by providing the customer with information
necessary to analyze costs and to assess protocols, standards or guidelines.

COPPS Survey Engine. The COPPS Survey Engine was developed as a data
collection tool to enable providers to collect direct patient feedback about the
patient's perception of the quality of care they are receiving. Other
information can be collected directly from patients using the COPPS Survey
Engine, such as their own assessment of their physical mobility, emotional
well-being and pain management. Additionally, opinion information from other
sources such as physicians and IDN employees can be captured using this tool
set. The data collected automatically populates the business data model with
important data that are not generally being collected at the present time. This
information is valuable feedback to IDNs and an increasingly important factor in
the measurement of quality healthcare.

Services

The Company offers comprehensive systems design, integration,
implementation, support, training and consulting services related to its
software tool and product offerings. The Company believes that each customer's
needs will vary according to its existing technology infrastructure and
healthcare delivery requirements. As of August 31, 1996, the Company employed 50
people in various services positions. Consistent with the Company's philosophy
of helping customers help themselves, HIE will perform the requisite services
listed above for the customer, supervise the customer's staff in conducting
system design, integration and implementation projects and/or train the
customer's staff to implement the Company's tools and products.

SALES AND MARKETING

The Company sells the tools, products and services comprising the Company's
healthcare information solutions through three distribution channels consisting
of direct sales forces at both the HIE and the EBU level and third-party
distributors and OEMs.

As of August 31, 1996, the Company had 18 sales and marketing personnel, of
whom 12 are direct sales personnel. Four of the 12 direct sales personnel are
senior-level "client partners" of HIE. The client partners are individuals who
have extensive executive experience in the healthcare information technology
industry and numerous, long-standing relationships with chief executive,
financial and information officers within the industry. The client partners are
responsible for initiating or expanding customer relationships with the top
executives within an organization by identifying one or more projects that would
enable HIE to demonstrate the capabilities of its tools, products or services.
The remaining eight of the 12 direct sales personnel are employed by various
EBUs and are primarily focused on selling the tools, products and services of
the EBU employing them. The EBUs' direct sales forces are capable of presenting
the entire HIE portfolio of tools, products and services to sales prospects,
which can lead to cross-selling opportunities. All of the direct sales personnel
are paid a base salary plus commissions at escalating rates based on sales
volume and sales timing bonuses.

Third-party distributors of the Company's tools and products include, among
others, system integrators, original equipment manufacturers and software
vendors. For example, HCI's Cloverleaf engine is distributed by, among others,
International Business Machines Corporation, Science Applications International
Corporation, Emtek Healthcare Systems, Inc., IDX Corporation and Triple P
Management B.V. The Company intends to aggressively pursue the expansion of its
distribution channels by adding additional select third-party channel partners
with complementary tool, product and service offerings, including, among others,
original equipment manufacturers, other healthcare information systems vendors,
physician practice management information systems vendors, physician practice
management companies, consulting firms and systems integration companies.

While the Company has primarily marketed and sold its tools, products and
services in the United States, the Company also intends to pursue international
sales opportunities in select countries that are aggressively

35
<PAGE> 36

trying to control the cost of providing quality healthcare. For example, the
Company has established a distribution network in German-speaking countries for
one or more of its software tools with several healthcare information system
vendors, including Data-Plan Software GmbH, debis Systemhaus SFI GmbH,
Gesellschaft Fuer Systemforschung und Dienstleistungen im Gesundheitswesen GmbH,
and Triple P Management B.V., in addition to other distributors with worldwide
distribution rights, such as Emtek Healthcare Systems, Inc., International
Business Machines Corporation and Science Applications International
Corporation.

RESEARCH AND DEVELOPMENT

HIE's research and development effort is an ongoing process of working with
customers to identify and address the present and future information needs of
the emerging IDNs. The Company anticipates that it will address those identified
information needs through joint development activities with customers, internal
development activities or acquired technology, depending on such factors as
customer resource availability, the number of high priority needs, the number
and type of technical skills required and market timing considerations. As of
August 31, 1996, the Company employed 35 people in research and development. The
Company spent approximately $192,000, $1,928,000, $828,000 and $605,000 on
research and development for the Partial Year 1994, the year ended December 31,
1995 and the six months ended June 30, 1995 and 1996, respectively.

The Company has developed internally the following tools and technologies:
the Cloverleaf Integration Engine, the Express Terminal Emulator, CASS and the
Desktop Engine. CHS has developed the COPPS Console and Survey tools.

The Company believes that an open computing architecture gives healthcare
provider organizations maximum freedom in customizing information systems to
their own specific needs. This freedom fits the Company's product strategy in
several ways. First, the Company's products allow customers to leverage their
existing investment in information technology resources by connecting different
legacy healthcare information systems together via an open architecture concept
involving standard protocols. Second, the ability to link legacy systems with
other applications through the Company's products enables customers to make
gradual system upgrades which avoids major capital commitments and related
internal review and approval complications. This ability also allows customers
to pursue best-of-breed product strategies. Finally, the Company has minimized
the dependence of its products on any one third party vendor by using industry
standard open architecture such as the UNIX operating systems and SQL databases.
The Company intends to continue to develop new tools and products in an open
architecture format that relies on an object-oriented programming approach for
speed of development.

INTELLECTUAL PROPERTY AND PROPRIETARY RIGHTS

The Company's success is dependent to a significant extent on its ability
to maintain the proprietary and confidential software incorporated in its tools
and products as they are released. The Company relies on a combination of
copyright and trade secrets and contractual protections to establish and protect
its proprietary rights. There can, however, be no assurance that the legal
protections and the precautions taken by the Company will be adequate to prevent
misappropriation of the Company's technology or trade secrets. In addition,
these protections and precautions do not prevent independent third-party
development of competitive technology, tools and products, and the laws of some
foreign countries do not protect the Company's proprietary rights to the same
extent as do the laws of the United States.

36
<PAGE> 37

infringement of intellectual proprietary rights held by others, the Company
typically uses freeware and shareware as is and has not conducted a formal
infringement search. Accordingly, there can be no assurance that such
conflicting rights do not exist. There can be no assurance that such use is in
compliance with such licenses or that the Company will not become the subject of
infringement claims or legal proceedings by third parties with respect to
current or future products and that such claims or proceedings will not have a
material adverse effect on the Company's business, financial condition or
results of operations. An adverse outcome in litigation or similar adversarial
proceedings could subject the Company to significant liabilities to third
parties, require expenditure of significant resources to develop non-infringing
technology, require disputed rights to be licensed from others or require the
Company to cease the marketing or use of certain products, any of which could
have a material adverse effect on the Company's business, financial condition
and results of operations. As the number of software products in the industry
increases and the functionality of these products further overlaps, the Company
believes that software developers may become increasingly subject to
infringement claims. To the extent the Company wishes or is required to obtain
licenses to patents or proprietary rights of others, there can be no assurance
that any such licenses will be made available on terms acceptable to the
Company, or at all.

ORGANIZATIONAL STRUCTURE -- ENTREPRENEURIAL BUSINESS UNITS

HIE works with operationally independent, interrelated entities referred to
by the Company as EBUs. Each EBU is a stand-alone business specializing in one
or more parts of the tools, products and services that collectively create HIE's
clinical information solutions. The Company's organizational structure is both a
function of and a strategy for meeting the challenges of the evolving healthcare
industry, particularly in the context of emerging IDNs. Each EBU focuses upon
developing its particular area of expertise, thereby enabling it to offer the
high level of technological sophistication, customer support and education which
are critical for growing and adapting to changes in its customers' needs. The
Company also believes that the EBU structure facilitates the hiring and
retention by the EBUs of highly qualified personnel, who can be offered
incentives which are tied to that EBU's business and future prospects.

The original investment in each EBU other than IHS was made by the Former
Parent, which was the sole shareholder of the Company until the November 6, 1995
Spin-Off. Because the Former Parent transferred its interest in the EBUs to HIE
prior to the Spin-Off, the following summary of the Company's current investment
in and relationship with the various EBUs refers to HIE rather than the Former
Parent.

Healthcare Communications, Inc.

The Company initially acquired a 44% equity interest in HCI in October 1994
and increased its interest to 57% effective January 1, 1995. The Company further
increased its ownership interest in HCI effective December 31, 1995, by
purchasing the remaining 43% of the outstanding shares of HCI common stock from
certain HCI shareholders. The Company now operates HCI as a wholly-owned
subsidiary.

Integrated Healthcare Solutions, Inc.

IHS is an internally developed, wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company
which has been in existence since May 30, 1995.

Criterion Health Strategies, Inc.

Pursuant to an Incorporation Agreement dated as of October 21, 1994 (as
subsequently amended on December 4, 1995, the "Incorporation Agreement"), by and
among CHS, the Former Parent, Brenton L. Teveit and J. Edward Pearson, Jr.
(Messrs. Teveit and Pearson, collectively, the "CHS Shareholders"), the Company
received 10 shares of the 260,010 shares of CHS common stock outstanding,
representing less than 1% of the outstanding shares, valued at the Company's pro
rata portion of CHS' organization costs, and agreed to make loans to CHS up to a
maximum of $4,000,000. Such loans were evidenced by an 8% convertible debenture
due December 31, 2005 (the "Convertible Debenture"), convertible at the
Company's option at any time on or after October 21, 1996 and prior to December
31, 2005 into 64% of the CHS common stock on a fully diluted basis.

37
<PAGE> 38

On December 4, 1995, Massey Burch of Nashville, Tennessee, an unrelated
third party venture capital fund that specializes in the healthcare industry,
invested in CHS by acquiring one-half of the CHS common stock held by HIE and
one-half of the rights and obligations of HIE on a pari passu basis under said
agreements referred to above, including a commitment to loan CHS up to a maximum
of $2,000,000. In connection with this transaction, each of the Company and
Massey Burch was issued an 8% convertible debenture (the "New Convertible
Debentures") due June 30, 2004, each convertible into 32% of the CHS common
stock on a fully diluted basis, and the Convertible Debenture was cancelled.
Massey Burch will make loans to CHS until the later of December 31, 1996 or such
time as it has loaned $1,300,000 to CHS, after which time HIE and Massey Burch
will make loans to CHS on an equal basis until such time as HIE and Massey Burch
have each loaned a total of $2,000,000 to CHS.

CHS, the Company, Massey Burch and the CHS Shareholders are parties to a
shareholders agreement (as amended December 4, 1995, the "CHS Shareholders
Agreement"), which contains certain rights of first refusal and preemptive
rights as well as a step-up purchase option. Under the terms of the step-up
option, each of the Company and Massey Burch has the right to acquire an
additional 18% of the shares of the common stock of CHS on a fully diluted basis
at a formula purchase price after December 31, 1999.

The Incorporation Agreement also includes certain covenants of CHS, the
Company and Massey Burch relative to the management of CHS. The parties have
agreed, until the earlier of either the Company's or Massey Burch's conversion
of its New Convertible Debentures, its redemption of the CHS Shareholders'
shares or its exercise of the step-up option, to maintain a five-member Board of
Directors, which shall consist of each of the CHS Shareholders, one nominee of
the Company, one nominee of Massey Burch, and one nominee designated by the CHS
Shareholders and approved by the Company and Massey Burch. Any increases in the
size of the Board must be effected so as to maintain the foregoing relative
representation. In addition, special voting approval provisions are applicable
to certain defined Material Corporate Transactions (defined to include mergers,
consolidations, sales or other dispositions of all or substantially all the
assets of CHS, certain transactions resulting in a change of control, and
liquidation or dissolution).

See "Recent Developments" regarding an agreement in principle whereby the
Company may acquire an option to purchase Massey Burch's investment in CHS.

LICENSES AND DISTRIBUTION AGREEMENTS

On May 25, 1995, HIE entered into a Corporation Reseller Agreement with
InterTech Imaging Corporation ("InterTech"), under which the Company has made a
$500,000 license prepayment. The agreement grants HIE the nonexclusive right to
distribute InterTech's DocuPACT software world-wide in the healthcare market and
a right of first refusal on any proposed InterTech healthcare-related exclusive
joint venture or exclusive healthcare licensing agreement with a third party.
The agreement is automatically renewed each May 25th unless terminated by either
party upon sixty days written notice. The DocuPACT software is incorporated into
the Company's document imaging tools. See "-- Products -- Clinical Workstation
Tools."

On September 12, 1995, HCI entered into a Technology License Agreement with
ICS (Sales) Ltd ("ICS"), under which the Company paid $400,000 upon delivery of
source code and documentation. HCI has an 18-month exclusive, nontransferable
license to market and sell ICS software in the healthcare market in Canada, the
United States and Mexico. HCI also has a five-year non-exclusive,
nontransferable license elsewhere in the world, excluding the healthcare market
in the United Kingdom, to enter into sub-licenses with respect to ICS products.
A version of the ICS TALK software has been modified by HCI to operate in
conjunction with the Cloverleaf integration engine and is marketed and licensed
by HCI as its Compass screen scraper. See "-- Products -- Integration Tools."

On October 13, 1995, CHS entered into a Distribution Agreement with Fiserv
CIR, Inc. ("Fiserv"), which grants perpetual exclusive rights to CHS throughout
the world to market, distribute and license an information system application
owned by Fiserv currently known as InformEnt to end users and through
distributors in the healthcare industry. The agreement defines the term
"healthcare industry" as entities that provide healthcare medical services to
patients including, but not limited to, hospitals, physicians, managed

38
<PAGE> 39

care organizations, IDNs, federal, state and local government health services
agencies, associations whose membership is predominately healthcare
professionals, home healthcare companies, insurance companies and federal, state
and local governments. CHS's exclusive rights over all countries except the U.S.
shall be automatically revoked in the event CHS does not establish a written
licensing agreement with at least one international entity by December 31, 1999.
CHS must pay Fiserv the greater of (i) 6% of revenues from end users for
Fiserv's software or (ii) base license fees of $300,000, $240,000, $400,000 and
$560,000 for 1995 through 1998, respectively. The annual base license fee for
each year beginning 1999 shall be $560,000. CHS may elect to terminate the
agreement after December 31, 1999 upon six-months prior written notice and
payment of $280,000 plus any outstanding amounts due pursuant to the agreement.
Said distribution agreement is automatically and irrevocably assigned to HIE in
the event of the failure of CHS to pay the license fees when due to Fiserv. The
Fiserv software is incorporated into CHS's COPPS Information Management Tool
Set. See "-- Products -- Enterprise Management Tools."

On December 4, 1995, HIE entered into a ten-year Software Licensing and
Distributorship Agreement with CHS which grants HIE a worldwide non-exclusive,
nontransferable license to market, sublicense, install and support the COPPS
Console, COPPS Survey Engine and COPPS Information Management Tool Set. The
products marketed and sublicensed are solely for internal use by third party
customers of HIE whose business is the performance of healthcare services. The
Company has a Most Favored Nations pricing status with respect to CHS products
and tools. See "-- Products -- Enterprise Management Tools."

Effective April 1, 1996, HIE entered into a ten-year agreement with
DataView which grants to the Company a perpetual, royalty-free, non-exclusive,
nontransferable, worldwide license to use DataView's clinical image management
software in the Company's service business to the extent that said use does not
directly compete with one of DataView's products. In addition to its
royalty-free distribution rights status, the Company has a Most Favored Nations
pricing status with respect to the teleradiology and the Mini-PACS product fees.
See "-- Products -- Clinical Workstation Tools."

CUSTOMERS

HIE's customers are generally the constituents of an IDN who have taken a
leadership role in the formation or maintenance of the network or who have a
vested interest in the successful operation of the network. The constituents
include hospitals, physicians, physician groups, independent practice
associations, physician-hospital organizations, health maintenance
organizations, clinics, labs, imaging centers, home healthcare and other
alternate site providers, management service organizations, employers, payers
and others. No customer accounted for more than 10% of the Company's
consolidated revenue during Partial Year 1994 or the year ended December 31,
1995. One customer accounted for approximately 26% of the Company's consolidated
revenue for the six months ended June 30, 1996. One distributor provided
customers to the Company that accounted for approximately 18%, 21% and 12% of
the Company's consolidated revenue for the year ended December 31, 1995 and for
the six months ended June 30, 1995 and 1996, respectively.

HCI has granted approximately 283 licenses for the use of its integration
engine. IHS and CHS have current customer bases of 15 and five, respectively.
The Company's expanding relationships with certain customers who initially
sought project-specific products, tools or services illustrates the
effectiveness of the Company's "small wins" strategy. For example, the Company's
first contract with a nine-hospital, 2,000-bed IDN in Georgia involved a
short-term, one-person advisory services engagement for strategic information
system planning purposes. This engagement has resulted in an ongoing
relationship between the Company and the IDN whereby the Company subsequently
provided or is currently providing software tools, such as an integration
engine, the CPI, document imaging and workflow tools, and related services, such
as implementation, integration, network architecture and development of internet
and intranet applications.

BACKLOG

The Company had contracts for the delivery of certain tools, products and
services, generally within 12 months of the contract dates, totaling
approximately $1.2 million and $6.3 million as of June 30, 1995 and

39
<PAGE> 40

1996, respectively. Of the backlog as of June 30, 1996, approximately $3.4
million was attributable to the Company's largest customer.

COMPETITION

The Company does not believe it has any direct competitors who provide the
overall comprehensive clinical information solutions which the Company offers.
However, because the Company also provides products, tools and services related
to the various elements comprising its solutions -- such as systems and network
integration, object and workflow management, patient indexing, clinical data
measurement and analysis and information network design and management
components of those solutions -- the Company has a large number of competitors
in each of these individual areas. The Company competes with, among others, (i)
healthcare information systems vendors, such as HBO & Company, Shared Medical
Systems Corporation and Cerner Corporation; (ii) integration engine companies,
such as Software Technologies Corporation, Century Analysis Incorporated and
HUBLink, Inc.; (iii) image management companies, such as IMNET Systems, Inc. and
LanVision Systems, Inc.; (iv) healthcare database reference companies, such as
HCIA Inc.; (v) consulting firms, such as Ernst & Young LLP; (vi) original
equipment manufacturers, such as International Business Machines Corporation;
(vii) systems integration firms, such as Science Applications International
Corporation; and (viii) internal MIS departments of providers. A competitor of
the Company with respect to one aspect of the Company's business may serve as a
distributor for the Company with respect to other products, tools or services.

GOVERNMENT REGULATION

The FDA has issued a draft guidance document addressing the regulation of
certain computer products as medical devices under the FDC Act. To the extent
that computer software is a medical device under the policy, the manufacturers
of such products could be required, depending on the product, to: (i) register
and list their products with the FDA; (ii) notify the FDA and demonstrate
substantial equivalence to other products on the market before marketing such
products; or (iii) obtain FDA approval by filing a premarket application that
establishes the safety and effectiveness of the product. The Company expects
that the FDA is likely to become increasingly active in regulating computer
software that is intended for use in healthcare settings. The FDA, if it chooses
to regulate such software, can impose extensive requirements governing pre-and
post-market conditions such as device investigation, approval, labeling and
manufacturing. In addition, such products would be subject to the FDC Act's
general controls, including those relating to good manufacturing practices and
adverse experience reporting. The FDA currently regulates the medical imaging
capability that the Company provides with the DataView technology.

EMPLOYEES

As of August 31, 1996, HIE and its subsidiaries HCI and IHS employed a
total of 106 persons and CHS employed 13 persons. Of these employees, 18 were
engaged in sales and marketing, 35 in research and development, 50 in services
and 16 in general and administrative functions. None of these employees is
represented by a labor union or subject to any collective bargaining agreement,
nor has the Company experienced any work stoppages. The Company believes that
its relations with its employees are good.

FACILITIES

The Company leases approximately 1,250 square feet of office space in
Marietta, Georgia for its principal executive and administrative offices and its
corporate sales and marketing facilities. This lease, which expires in February
1997, currently requires monthly rental payments of $1,710. HCI leases
approximately 8,000 square feet and 2,300 square feet of office space in a
building in Dallas, Texas, for its operations, for monthly rental payments of
$11,635 and $2,000, respectively, under leases expiring in November 2000. IHS'
business is conducted from leased facilities of approximately 8,000 square feet
located in Marietta, Georgia, under a lease which expires in February 1997 and
calls for monthly rental payments of $11,036.

The Company believes that its facilities are adequate through the
above-indicated lease expiration periods. To the extent necessary to support its
operations, the Company may obtain larger office space for its corporate
headquarters.

LEGAL PROCEEDINGS

As of the date hereof, there are no material legal proceedings pending
against the Company.

STOCK OPTION AND OTHER PLANS

The Company has adopted five stock option plans, one outside directors
stock plan and an employee stock purchase plan. At August 31, 1996, options for
an aggregate of 2,843,462 shares of HIE Common Stock were outstanding under
these plans. The following is a brief description of these plans.

Stock Option Plan I

The Company's Stock Option Plan I ("Plan I"), which was approved by the
Board of Directors of the Company on March 23, 1995, provides for the grant of
options to purchase up to a maximum of 930,000 shares of Common Stock. At August
31, 1996, options to purchase 816,792 shares of Common Stock were outstanding
under Plan I. Plan I is administered by the Stock Option Committee appointed by
the Board of

46
<PAGE> 47

Directors of the Company. The Stock Option Committee may grant either incentive
stock options or non-qualified stock options under Plan I. The Stock Option
Committee determines which employees of the Company and its subsidiaries will be
granted options, the number of shares of Common Stock subject to an option
granted to any employee, whether the option is an incentive stock option or
non-qualified stock option, and the other terms and conditions governing the
option (including the vesting schedule applicable to the option). Key employees,
including officers and directors of the Company and its subsidiaries, are
eligible to receive options, but directors of the Company or its subsidiaries
who are not employees and persons serving on the Stock Option Committee are not
eligible.

Stock Option Plan Two

The Company's Stock Option Plan Two ("Plan Two") was adopted by the Board
of Directors of the Company on March 23, 1995 and provides for the grant of
options to purchase up to a maximum of 930,000 shares of Common Stock. At August
31, 1996, options to purchase 621,375 shares of HIE Common Stock were
outstanding under Plan Two. Plan Two is identical to Plan I except that Plan Two
contains a fixed vesting schedule under which, after the Spin-Off, an option
granted under Plan Two shall become exercisable (i.e., vest) to the extent of
33% of the shares of Common Stock subject to such option on each of the first
three anniversary dates of the option's date of grant.

Non-Employee Director Stock Option Plan

The Company's Non-Employee Director Stock Option Plan (the "Director Stock
Option Plan") was adopted by the Board of Directors of the Company on August 10,
1995. Pursuant to the Director Stock Option Plan, current and subsequently
elected directors each receive an initial option to purchase 20,000 shares of
Common Stock. In addition, each Non-Employee Director will be granted an
additional option to purchase 2,000 shares of Common Stock following such
director's reelection at an annual meeting of shareholders of the Company,
provided that such individual has been a Non-Employee Director for the preceding
six months. The purchase price for all options granted under the Non-Employee
Director Stock Option Plan is equal to the fair market value on the date of said
grants. Under the Director Stock Option Plan, 250,000 shares of Common Stock are
reserved for issuance. At August 31, 1996, options to purchase 154,000 shares of
HIE Common Stock were outstanding under the Director Stock Option Plan.

1996 EBU Tandem Stock Option Plan

The Company's 1996 EBU Tandem Stock Option Plan (the "HIE Tandem Option
Plan"), which provides for the grant of options to purchase up to 957,500 shares
of Common Stock, operates in conjunction with the Healthcare Communications,
Inc. Stock Option Plan and the Integrated Healthcare Solutions, Inc. Stock
Option Plan (together, the "EBU Plans"). The HIE Tandem Option Plan was adopted
by the Board of Directors of the Company on April 23, 1996. The HIE Tandem
Option Plan and the EBU Plans (collectively, the "Tandem Plans") are intended to
advance the interests of the Company and its EBUs by providing a means whereby
officers, key employees, consultants and advisors to the respective EBUs may
acquire a proprietary interest in either or both the employing EBU and HIE.
Options granted under the EBU Plans entitle the holder to receive tandem options
granted under the HIE Tandem Option Plan, and vice versa. The exercise of an
option granted under either EBU Plan results in a simultaneous expiration of the
proportionate amount of the tandem option granted under the HIE Option Plan;
conversely, the exercise of an option granted under the HIE Tandem Option Plan
results in a simultaneous expiration of the proportionate amount of the tandem
option granted under the EBU Plan. In the event of the termination or expiration
of an option granted under any of the Tandem Plans, the corresponding tandem
option automatically terminates. At August 31, 1996, options to purchase 600,534
shares of HIE Common Stock were outstanding under the HIE Tandem Option Plan.

HIE Adjustment Stock Option Plan

Certain directors and employees of the Former Parent and/or its
subsidiaries had been granted stock options to purchase shares of the Former
Parent's Common Stock ("Former Parent Options") under the

47
<PAGE> 48

Non-employee Director Stock Option Plan (the "Director Plan") and the 1981,
1983, 1985, 1991 and 1993 Former Parent Stock Option Plans (together with the
Director Plan, the "Former Parent Option Plans"). The Former Parent Option Plans
and related Stock Option Agreements permitted the Stock Option Committee of the
Former Parent's Board of Directors (the "Committee"), or the Former Parent Board
of Directors itself (in the case of the Director Plan) in the event of a stock
dividend or other relevant change in the capitalization or structure of the
Former Parent, to make such equitable adjustments as it deemed appropriate to
preserve the value of the Former Parent Options by adjusting the number and kind
of underlying shares and the option exercise price. Pursuant to the adjustment
provisions set forth in the Former Parent Option Plans, the Committee and the
Board of Directors determined that each outstanding Former Parent Option held by
any person who is a director of the Former Parent or an employee of the Former
Parent or its subsidiaries on a specified date in advance of the Spin-Off would
be adjusted immediately prior to the Spin-Off so as to represent two separately
exercisable options (the "Adjustment"): one to purchase the Former Parent Common
Stock (the "Former Parent Adjusted Option") and one to purchase HIE Common Stock
(the "HIE Adjustment Option") (collectively, the "Adjusted Options").

The Adjusted Options were issued pursuant to formulas intended to preserve
the economic value of the Former Parent Options by remedying the dilution of the
value of such options that would otherwise result from the Spin-Off. The
Adjustment had the effect of treating holders of the Former Parent Options in a
manner that paralleled the treatment of the Former Parent shareholders in the
Spin-Off. The HIE Adjustment Options are subject to terms and conditions set
forth in the HIE Adjustment Plan which was approved by the Former Parent as the
sole shareholder of HIE. The Board of Directors of the Company approved the HIE
Adjustment Plan on August 10, 1995. The HIE Adjustment Plan was adopted solely
for the purpose of issuing the HIE Adjustment Options, and no further grants
will be made under such plan except in connection with any adjustment or regrant
of any then-outstanding options as permitted under such plan. The terms of the
HIE Adjustment Plan are substantially the same as the terms of the Former Parent
Option Plans. The HIE Adjustment Options consist of both nonqualified options
and incentive stock options. The HIE Adjustment Options are not transferable,
except to the limited extent that the Former Parent Options with respect to
which they will be issued are transferable. The Former Parent Options are not
transferable except by will or the applicable laws of descent and distribution.
At August 31, 1996, options to purchase 650,761 shares of HIE Common Stock were
outstanding under the HIE Adjustment Plan.

Non-Employee Directors Stock Plan

The Company's Non-Employee Directors Stock Plan (the "Stock Plan") was
adopted by the Board of Directors of the Company on October 20, 1995 and
provides a mechanism for Non-Employee Directors of the Company to automatically
increase their ownership of HIE Common Stock and thereby further align their
interests with those of the Company's shareholders. The Stock Plan, which is
administered by the Company's Compensation Committee, allows Non-Employee
Directors to elect to receive all or a portion of their annual retainer fee in
unrestricted shares of HIE Common Stock. The shares will be issued quarterly.
There are presently 250,000 shares of Common Stock reserved for issuance under
the Stock Plan. At August 31, 1996, no shares of HIE Common Stock were
outstanding under the Stock Plan.

Employee Stock Purchase Plan

The Company's Employee Stock Purchase Plan (the "Purchase Plan") provides
for the purchase of 200,000 shares of the Company's Common Stock by eligible
employees of the Company and its subsidiaries (as defined in Section 424(f) of
the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended). Under the Purchase Plan, the
Company conducts a series of offerings of its authorized but unissued shares of
Common Stock each of which commences on the first business day of each calendar
quarter (starting July 1, 1996) and terminates on the last business day of such
quarter (an "Offering Period"). An eligible employee who elects to become a
participant in the Purchase Plan must sign an authorization form pursuant to
which payroll deductions to purchase Common Stock are made. The authorization
must specify the amount of payroll deduction to be made from the employee's
compensation and such amount (i) may not be less than 2% of the participant's

48
<PAGE> 49

compensation as paid on each payday or $100, whichever is less, and (ii) may not
exceed 10% of the participant's compensation as paid on each payday.

At the beginning of each Offering Period each participant is granted, by
operation of the Purchase Plan, an option to purchase up to 2,000 shares, which
option will expire, to the extent it is unexercised, on the termination date of
that Offering Period. No participant may be granted an option under the Plan if
the option will permit his rights to purchase stock under all employee stock
purchase plans of the Company, any parent of the Company, and any of the
Company's subsidiaries to accrue at a rate that exceeds $25,000 in the fair
market value of such stock for each calendar year or portion of such year in
which the option would be outstanding.

The exercise price for options granted under the Purchase Plan will be the
lower of 85% of the fair market value per share of Common Stock on either the
first business day of the Offering Period or the last business day of the
Offering Period. Fair market value generally is the closing quoted selling price
of the Common Stock in the over-the-counter market as reported in The Wall
Street Journal or any successor, similar publication or as determined by other
equitable means pursuant to the Plan. No shares had been issued under the
Employee Stock Purchase Plan as of August 31, 1996.

INDEMNIFICATION OF OFFICERS AND DIRECTORS

The Company's By-Laws provide that the Company will indemnify its directors
and officers and any persons serving at the request of the Company as a director
or officer of another corporation or other entity to the full extent permitted
by law. The Company believes that indemnification under its By-Laws covers at
least negligence and gross negligence by indemnified parties.

The Company's Articles of Incorporation provide that, pursuant to Georgia
law, its directors shall not be liable for monetary damages for breach of the
director's fiduciary duty of care to the Company and its shareholders. This
provision does not eliminate the duty of care, and in appropriate circumstances,
equitable remedies such as injunction or other forms of non-monetary relief will
remain available under Georgia law. In addition, each director will continue to
be subject to liability for breach of the director's duty of loyalty to the
Company for appropriations of business opportunities of the Company, acts or
omissions involving intentional misconduct or knowing violations of law, actions
leading to improper personal benefit to the director, and payment of dividends
or approval of stock repurchases or redemptions that are unlawful under Georgia
law. The provisions do not affect a director's responsibilities under any other
law, such as the federal securities laws or state or federal environmental laws.

CERTAIN RELATIONSHIPS AND RELATED TRANSACTIONS

Mr. Parker H. Petit, the Chairman of the Board of the Company, is also the
Chairman of the Board of Matria Healthcare. Matria Healthcare provides certain
services to the Company under the terms of an Administrative Services Agreement
(the "Services Agreement") originally entered into between the Company and the
Former Parent. Pursuant to the Services Agreement, Matria Healthcare has agreed
to provide certain administrative and related services to the Company. These
services relate to areas such as accounting, legal, tax, data processing, human
resources and certain other services, as well as certain insurance coverages.
Charges for these services are made on a monthly basis in an amount which is
estimated to equal Matria Healthcare's cost, including overhead, of providing
the services. The Company is under no obligation to purchase such services from
Matria Healthcare. For the year ended December 31, 1995, the Company reimbursed
Matria Healthcare for the cost of the administrative and personnel services
provided by employees of Matria Healthcare in the amount of $325,000. In
addition, the Company paid $57,000 to reimburse Matria Healthcare for the cost
of group health, life, directors and officers and property and casualty
insurance premiums paid by Matria Healthcare on behalf of the Company for the
year ended December 31, 1995. These amounts paid by the Company to Matria
Healthcare for services, however, may not be representative of the amount of
services required by the Company in the future. The respective Audit Committees
of the Company and Matria Healthcare meet on an annual basis to review the
services previously provided and to be provided in the future. The Services
Agreement has an initial term of two years and is automatically renewed each
year thereafter. The Services Agreement may be cancelled for any reason by
either party without penalty on 120 days advance notice.

It is the Company's policy that all transactions between the Company and
Matria Healthcare, or between the Company and any other affiliated party, will
be on an arm's length basis on terms no less favorable to the Company than could
be obtained from unaffiliated third parties. In addition, it is the Company's
policy that any transactions between the Company and any other affiliated party,
including Matria Healthcare or its affiliates, that are material to the Company
must be approved by the vote of a majority of the independent and disinterested
members of the Board of Directors of the Company.

SECURITY OWNERSHIP OF CERTAIN BENEFICIAL OWNERS AND MANAGEMENT

The following table sets forth certain information as to the Common Stock
beneficially owned as of August 31, 1996 by each of the Company's directors and
each executive officer named in the Summary Compensation Table set forth under
the caption "Executive Compensation and Other Information" and all directors and
executive officers as a group. Under the rules of the Securities and Exchange
Commission (the "Commission"), a person is deemed to be a beneficial owner of a
security if he or she has or shares the power to vote or to direct the voting of
such security, or the power to dispose or to direct the disposition of such
security. A person is also deemed to be a beneficial owner of any securities
which that person has the right to acquire within 60 days, as well as any
securities owned by such person's spouse, children or relatives living in the
same house. Accordingly, more than one person may be deemed to be a beneficial
owner of the same securities. Unless otherwise indicated in a footnote each
person listed below possesses sole voting and investment power with respect to
the shares indicated as beneficially owned by him. Mr. Parker H. Petit, the
Chairman of the Board of the Company, is the only shareholder known to the
Company to beneficially own more than five percent of the outstanding shares of
the Company's Common Stock. Mr. Petit's address is c/o Matria Healthcare, Inc.,

DESCRIPTION OF CAPITAL STOCK

The authorized capital stock of the Company consists of 50,000,000 shares
of Common Stock, par value $.01 per share, and 20,000,000 shares of Preferred
Stock, no par value. The Preferred Stock may be issued in separate series as
authorized by the Company's Board of Directors.

COMMON STOCK

Each share of Common Stock entitles the holder to one vote on all matters
on which holders are permitted to vote. The holders of Common Stock are entitled
to dividends when, as and if declared by the Board of Directors out of funds
legally available therefor and, upon liquidation, to a pro rata share in any
distribution to shareholders. The Common Stock has no preemptive or conversion
rights or other subscription rights. There are no redemption or sinking fund
provisions applicable to the Common Stock. All outstanding shares of Common
Stock are fully paid and nonassessable.

PREFERRED STOCK

The Board of Directors has the authority to issue Preferred Stock in one or
more series and to fix the voting rights, terms of redemption, redemption
prices, liquidation preferences and other rights and the number of shares
constituting any series or the designation of such series, without further vote
or action by the shareholders. The issuance of Preferred Stock may have the
effect of delaying, deferring or preventing a change in control of the Company
without further action by the shareholders, may discourage bids for the
Company's Common Stock at a premium over the market price therefor and may have
an adverse effect on the market price of the Common Stock and the voting and
other rights of the holders of the Common Stock. The Board of Directors has
authorized one series of the Preferred Stock, the Series A Cumulative Preferred
Stock (the "Series A Preferred Stock"), consisting of 500,000 shares. See
"-- Shareholder Rights Plan."

CERTAIN PROVISIONS OF THE COMPANY'S BY-LAWS

The Company has adopted a bylaw electing coverage under the business
combinations provisions of the Georgia Business Corporations Code. The business
combinations provisions generally prohibit a corporation from engaging in any
"business combination" (a merger, consolidation or other specified corporation
transaction) with an "interested shareholder" (a 10% shareholder or an affiliate
of the corporation which was a 10% shareholder at any time within the preceding
two years) for a period of five years from the date such person becomes an
interested shareholder, unless the interested shareholder (i) prior to becoming
an interested shareholder, obtained the approval of the Board of Directors for
either the business combination or the transaction which resulted in the
shareholder becoming an interested shareholder, (ii) becomes the owner of at
least 90% of the outstanding voting stock of the corporation in the same
transaction in which the interested shareholder became an interested
shareholder, excluding for purposes of determining the number of shares
outstanding those shares owned by officers, directors, subsidiaries and certain
employee stock plans of the corporation or (iii) subsequent to the acquisition
of 10% or more of the outstanding voting stock of the corporation, acquires
additional shares resulting in ownership of at least 90% of the outstanding
voting stock of the corporation and obtains approval of the business combination
by the holders of a majority of the shares of voting stock of the corporation,
other than those shares held by an interested shareholder, officers, directors,
subsidiaries and certain employee stock plans of the corporation.

REGISTRATION RIGHTS

The Company has granted limited registration rights with respect to the
1,540,241 shares of Common Stock underlying the Company's convertible debenture
due January 2, 1998 issued in connection with the Company's acquisition of the
remaining equity interest in HCI. See Notes 3 and 6 of the Notes to Consolidated
Financial Statements. Upon conversion of the debenture at maturity (or earlier
upon the occurrence of an event of default), holders of such underlying shares
will have the right, during the three months following the conversion, to
require the Company to file a registration statement covering the sale of such
shares. In addition, the Company's agreement in principle with Massey Burch
contemplates that the

52
<PAGE> 53

Company will grant certain registration rights with respect to both the shares
of Common Stock underlying the proposed warrant and the shares of Common Stock
issuable upon the Company's exercise of its option to acquire Massey Burch's
interest in CHS. See "Recent Developments."

SHAREHOLDER RIGHTS PLAN

On October 20, 1995, the Board of Directors of the Company declared a
dividend distribution of one Right for each outstanding share of HIE Common
Stock to shareholders of record at the close of business on October 30, 1995 and
authorized and directed the issuance of one Right with respect to each share of
Common Stock that shall become outstanding at any time thereafter but prior to
the occurrence of certain terminating events. Each Right entitles the registered
holder to purchase from the Company a unit consisting of one one-hundredth of a
share (a "Unit") of the Series A Preferred Stock, at a purchase price of $50 per
Unit, subject to adjustment (the "Purchase Price"). The Purchase Price shall be
paid in cash. The description and terms of the Rights are set forth in a Rights
Agreement (the "Rights Agreement") between the Company and SunTrust Bank, as
Rights Agent.

Upon the occurrence of certain events generally associated with an
unsolicited takeover attempt of the Company or certain self-dealing
transactions, the Rights (except for Rights held by an Acquiring Person, as that
term is defined in the Rights Agreement) will become exercisable and will cease
to automatically trade with the Common Stock. Thereafter, upon the occurrence of
certain further triggering events, each Right (except for Rights held by an
Acquiring Person) will become exercisable for that number of shares of Common
Stock having a value equal to two times the exercise price of the Right; or in
the event that the Company is acquired in a merger or other business combination
and is not the surviving corporation, or over one half of the Company's assets
or earning power is sold or transferred, each Right (except for Rights held by
an Acquiring Person) will become exercisable for that number of shares of common
stock of the acquiring company having a value equal to two times the exercise
price of the Right. The Purchase Price payable, and the number of Units of
Series A Preferred Stock or other securities or property issuable, upon exercise
of the Rights are subject to certain anti-dilution adjustments.

Until a Right is exercised, the holder thereof, as such, will have no
rights as a shareholder of the Company, including, without limitation, the right
to vote or to receive dividends. While the distribution of the Rights will not
be taxable to shareholders or to the Company, shareholders may, depending upon
the circumstances, recognize taxable income in the event that the Rights become
exercisable for Common Stock (or other consideration) of the Company or for
common stock of the acquiring company as set forth above.

The Rights Agreement may be amended in certain instances so long as there
are Continuing Directors (as that term is defined in the Rights Agreement) and a
majority of such Continuing Directors votes in favor of the proposed amendment.
Other than those provisions relating to the principal economic terms of the
Rights, any of the provisions of the Rights Agreement may be amended prior to
the Rights Distribution Date (as that term is defined in the Rights Agreement).
After the Rights Distribution Date, the provisions of the Rights Agreement may
be amended in order to cure any ambiguity, to correct or supplement any
provision contained in the Rights Agreement which is defective or inconsistent
with another provision therein, to make changes which do not adversely affect
the interests of holders of Rights (excluding the interests of any Acquiring
Person), or to shorten or lengthen any time period under the Rights Agreement;
provided however, that no amendment to adjust the time period governing
redemption shall be made at such time as the Rights are not redeemable and no
amendment shall be made to lengthen any other time period unless such
lengthening is for the purpose of protecting, enhancing or clarifying the rights
of, and/or the benefits to, the holders of the common equity of the Company,
including the holders of the Rights.

The Rights have certain anti-takeover effects. The Rights will cause
substantial dilution to a person or group that attempts to acquire the Company
in a manner which causes the Rights to become exercisable. The Company believes,
however, that the Rights should neither affect any prospective offeror willing
to negotiate with the Board of Directors of the Company nor interfere with any
merger or other business combination approved by the Board of Directors of the
Company because the Board of Directors may, at its option, redeem the Rights.
The Rights will expire on October 23, 2005, unless earlier redeemed by the
Company. This

summary description of the Rights does not purport to be complete and is
qualified in its entirety by reference to the Rights Agreement.

TRANSFER AGENT AND REGISTRAR

The transfer agent and registrar for the HIE Common Stock is SunTrust Bank.

SHARES ELIGIBLE FOR FUTURE SALE

Upon completion of this Offering, the Company will have outstanding
20,033,419 shares of Common Stock (20,445,919 shares assuming full exercise of
the Underwriter's over-allotment option). Of these shares, the 2,750,000 shares
sold in this Offering (3,162,500 shares if the Underwriter's over-allotment
option is exercised in full) will be freely tradeable without restrictions or
further registration under the Securities Act, except those held by "affiliates"
(as defined under the Securities Act) of the Company. The remaining outstanding
shares of Common Stock, which were distributed by the Former Parent in the
Spin-Off and were registered under the Securities Act, are also freely
tradeable, except for affiliate shares.

In general, under Rule 144 as currently in effect, a shareholder who has
beneficially owned for at least two years shares privately acquired directly or
indirectly from the Company or from an affiliate of the Company, and persons who
are affiliates of the Company who have acquired the shares in the public market,
will be entitled to sell within any three-month period a number of shares that
does not exceed the greater of: (i) 1% of the outstanding shares of Common Stock
(approximately 200,334 shares immediately after the closing of this Offering, or
approximately 204,459 shares if the Underwriter's over-allotment option is
exercised in full); or (ii) the average weekly trading volume of the Common
Stock during the four calendar weeks preceding such sale. Sales under Rule 144
are also subject to certain requirements relating to the manner and notice of
sale and the availability of current public information about the Company.

Each of the Company's directors and executive officers has entered into
lock-up agreements with the Underwriter pursuant to which such shareholders have
agreed not to sell or otherwise dispose of any shares of Common Stock for a
period of 90 days after the date of this Prospectus without the prior written
consent of Morgan Keegan & Company, Inc. Upon expiration of the lock-up period,
these shares will be eligible for immediate sale, subject in certain cases to
the volume and other limitations under Rule 144.

The Company has filed registration statements on Form S-8 under the
Securities Act to register shares of Common Stock reserved for issuance under
its stock and employee benefit plans. See "Stock Option and Other Plans." Shares
issued under the respective plans will be freely tradeable without restriction
or further registration under the Securities Act, unless acquired by affiliates
of the Company.

No predictions can be made with respect to the effect, if any, that public
sales of shares of Common Stock or the availability of shares for sale in the
public market will have on the market price of the Common Stock after this
Offering. Sales of substantial amounts of Common Stock in the public market
following this Offering, or the perception that such sales may occur, could
adversely affect the market price of the Common Stock or the ability of the
Company to raise capital through sales of its equity securities. See "Risk
Factors -- Shares Eligible for Future Sale" and "Description of Capital
Stock -- Registration Rights."

UNDERWRITING

Subject to the terms and conditions of the Underwriting Agreement between
the Company and Morgan Keegan & Company, Inc. (the "Underwriter"), the
Underwriter has agreed to purchase from the Company, and the Company has agreed
to sell to the Underwriter, the 2,750,000 shares of Common Stock offered hereby.

The Underwriting Agreement provides that the obligations of the Underwriter
are subject to certain conditions precedent, including the absence of any
material adverse change in the Company's business and the receipt of certain
certificates, opinions and letters from the Company and its counsel and
independent auditors. The nature of the Underwriter's obligation is such that it
is committed to purchase all shares of Common Stock offered hereby (other than
those covered by the over-allotment option described below) if any of such
shares are purchased.

The Underwriter has advised the Company that it proposes to offer the
shares of Common Stock to the public at the offering price set forth on the
cover page of this Prospectus and to certain dealers at such price less a
concession of not in excess of $.11 per share, of which $.05 may be reallocated
to other dealers. After the Offering, the public offering price, concession and
reallowance to dealers may be reduced by the Underwriter. No such reduction
shall change the amount of proceeds to be received by the Company as set forth
on the cover page of this Prospectus.

The Company has granted the Underwriter an option for thirty days after the
date of this Prospectus to purchase, at the offering price, less the
underwriting discounts and commissions as set forth on the cover page of this
Prospectus, up to 412,500 additional shares of Common Stock at the same price
per share as the Company receives for the 2,750,000 shares of Common Stock
offered hereby, solely to cover over-allotments, if any.

Each of the Company's directors and executive officers has agreed not to
offer, sell or otherwise dispose of Common Stock or securities convertible into
or exchangeable for, or any rights to purchase or acquire Common Stock for a
period of 90 days following the Effective Date, without the prior written
consent of Morgan Keegan & Company, Inc. The Company also has agreed not to
offer, sell, contract to sell or otherwise dispose of any shares of Common Stock
or any securities convertible into or exchangeable for, or any rights to
purchase or acquire, Common Stock for a period of 90 days following the date of
this Prospectus without the prior written consent of Morgan Keegan & Company,
Inc., except for the granting of options or the sale of stock pursuant to the
Company's stock plans described in this Prospectus. Morgan Keegan & Company,
Inc., in its discretion, may waive the foregoing restrictions in whole or in
part, with or without a public announcement of such action.

The Offering of the shares is made for delivery when, as and if accepted by
the Underwriter and subject to prior sale and to withdrawal, cancellation or
modification of the offering without notice. The Underwriter reserves the right
to reject an order for the purchase of shares in whole or in part.

In general, the rules of the Commission will prohibit the Underwriter from
making a market in the Common Stock during the "cooling off" period immediately
preceding the commencement of sales in the Offering. The Commission has,
however, adopted exemptions from these rules that permit passive market making
under certain conditions. These rules permit an underwriter to continue to make
a market subject to the conditions, among others, that its bid not exceed the
highest bid by a market maker not connected with the Offering and that its net
purchases on any one trading day not exceed prescribed limits. Pursuant to these
exemptions, the Underwriter, selling group members (if any) or their respective
affiliates may have engaged in passive market making in the Company's Common
Stock during the cooling off period.

The Company has agreed to indemnify the Underwriter or to contribute to
losses arising out of certain liabilities under the Act.

INDEPENDENT AUDITORS' REPORT

The Board of Directors and Shareholders
Healthdyne Information Enterprises, Inc.:

We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of Healthdyne
Information Enterprises, Inc. and subsidiaries as of December 31, 1994 and 1995,
and the related consolidated statements of operations, shareholders' equity, and
cash flows for the period from June 15, 1994 (date of incorporation) to December
31, 1994 and for the year ended December 31, 1995. These consolidated financial
statements are the responsibility of the Company's management. Our
responsibility is to express an opinion on these consolidated financial
statements based on our audits. We did not audit the 1994 financial statements
of Healthcare Communications, Inc. (44% owned investee company during 1994). The
Company's investment in Healthcare Communications, Inc. at December 31, 1994 was
$6,904,000 and its equity in earnings was $154,000 for the period ended December
31, 1994. The 1994 financial statements of Healthcare Communications, Inc. were
audited by other auditors whose report has been furnished to us, and our
opinion, insofar as it relates to the amounts included for this company, is
based solely on the report of the other auditors.

We conducted our audits in accordance with generally accepted auditing
standards. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit 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 and the report of the other auditors provide a
reasonable basis for our opinion.

In our opinion, based on our audits and the report of the other auditors,
the consolidated financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all
material respects, the financial position of Healthdyne Information Enterprises,
Inc. and subsidiaries at December 31, 1994 and 1995 and the results of their
operations and their cash flows for the period from June 15, 1994 to December
31, 1994 and for the year ended December 31, 1995 in conformity with generally
accepted accounting principles.

DECEMBER 31, 1994 AND 1995
(INFORMATION AS OF JUNE 30, 1996 AND FOR THE SIX
MONTHS ENDED JUNE 30, 1995 AND 1996 IS UNAUDITED)
(IN THOUSANDS, EXCEPT PER SHARE AMOUNTS)

1. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

(A) BUSINESS

Healthdyne Information Enterprises, Inc. ("HIE" or the "Company") was
incorporated on June 15, 1994 in the State of Georgia and is headquartered in
Marietta, Georgia. HIE was a wholly-owned subsidiary of Healthdyne, Inc.
("Healthdyne") until November 6, 1995 at which time Healthdyne distributed all
of the outstanding shares of HIE to the Healthdyne shareholders (the
"Spin-off"). The Company and its subsidiaries provide clinical information
software tools and products and related services to integrated healthcare
delivery networks and other healthcare providers and payors.

The consolidated financial statements include the financial position,
results of operations and cash flows as of the dates and for the periods
indicated for HIE and the following subsidiaries:

<TABLE>
<CAPTION>
HIE
OWNERSHIP STATE OF
SUBSIDIARY PERCENTAGE NATURE OF BUSINESS INCORPORATION
- -------------------------- -------------------------- -------------------------- -------------
<S> <C> <C> <C>
Healthcare Communications, 44% from October 27, 1994 Systems and network Texas
Inc. (Dallas, Texas) to December 31, 1994; 57% integration tools and
from January 1, 1995 to services
December 31, 1995; 100%
effective December 31,
1995
DataView Imaging 61% from July 22, 1994 to Image management products, Georgia
International, Inc. March 31, 1996; 19% tools and services
(Norcross, Georgia) effective April 1, 1996
(see note 13)
Integrated Healthcare 100% from May 30, 1995 Tools, products, and Georgia
Solutions, Inc. (formerly (the date of services for object and
Clinical Assessment incorporation) work flow management;
Support System, Inc.) patient indexing; clinical
(Marietta, Georgia) assessment, measurement
and analysis; and network
design and management
</TABLE>

HIE also currently owns a less than 1% interest in Criterion Health
Strategies, Inc. ("CHS") of Nashville, Tennessee, a provider of
physician-oriented clinical measurement and analysis software tools, products,
and services. HIE funded the operations of CHS through November 30, 1995;
therefore, HIE recorded 100% of the losses of CHS through that date (see notes
11 and 13).

During 1995, Healthcare Communications, Inc. ("HCI") made certain
convertible loans totaling $301 to Perceptive Systems, Inc. ("PSI"), a software
distributor, thereby making HCI the beneficial owner of PSI. Accordingly, PSI is
consolidated with HCI.

(B) BASIS OF FINANCIAL STATEMENT PRESENTATION

The consolidated financial statements have been prepared in conformity with
generally accepted accounting principles. In preparing the consolidated
financial statements, management is required to make

F-7
<PAGE> 64

HEALTHDYNE INFORMATION ENTERPRISES, INC.
AND SUBSIDIARIES

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS -- (CONTINUED)

estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and
liabilities as of the dates of the consolidated balance sheets and income and
expenses for the periods. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

All significant intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated
in consolidation.

Cash and cash equivalents consist of cash and short-term investments with
original maturities of three months or less.

(D) REVENUE

Revenue is derived from the sale of clinical information software tools and
products, and from providing related implementation, support, training and
consulting services. Revenue from software licensing and support fees is
recognized in accordance with Statement of Position 91-1, Software Revenue
Recognition. Software revenue is recognized upon shipment since (i)
collectibility of the related accounts receivable is typically probable; (ii)
there are generally no obligations remaining under the related software license
agreement after shipment; and (iii) customer acceptance is generally not
contractually required. All service revenue is recognized as the work is
performed or, in the case of a fixed fee contract, on the percentage of
completion basis, even though some services are prepaid.

(E) PROPERTY AND EQUIPMENT

Property and equipment are stated at cost less accumulated depreciation.
Depreciation is provided on the straight-line method over an estimated useful
life of five years. Amortization of leasehold improvements is recorded over the
shorter of the lives of the related assets or the lease terms and is included in
depreciation expense.

(F) EXCESS OF COST OVER NET ASSETS OF BUSINESSES ACQUIRED

The excess of cost over net assets of businesses acquired (goodwill) is
being amortized using the straight-line method over 15 years. Amortization
expense related to acquired businesses amounted to $50 for the period from June
15, 1994 to December 31, 1994, $708 for the year ended December 31, 1995 and
$234 and $346 for the six months ended June 30, 1995 and 1996, respectively. At
each balance sheet date, the Company assesses the recoverability of this
intangible asset by determining whether the amortization of the goodwill balance
over its remaining life can be recovered through undiscounted future operating
cash flows of the acquired operation. The amount of goodwill impairment, if any,
is measured based on projected discounted future operating cash flows using a
discount rate reflecting the Company's average cost of funds (see note 3).

(G) PURCHASED SOFTWARE

Purchased software includes both the cost of purchased software tools and
products developed by a third party for the Company to exclusively market and
sell and the cost of software acquired in connection with business combinations.
It also includes the cost of licenses to use, embed, and sell software tools and
products developed by others. These costs are being amortized ratably based on
the projected revenue associated with these purchased or licensed tools and
products or the straight-line method over five years, whichever method results
in a higher level of amortization. Amortization expense related to purchased
software amounted to $-0-for the period from June 15, 1994 to December 31, 1994,
$150 for the year ended December 31, 1995 and $6 and $228 for the six months
ended June 30, 1995 and 1996, respectively.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS -- (CONTINUED)

(H) RESEARCH AND DEVELOPMENT AND CAPITALIZED SOFTWARE DEVELOPMENT COSTS

Prior to the determination of technological feasibility for software
products and tools, research and development costs are expensed as incurred.
After determination of technological feasibility and before the release of the
software tools and products for general availability, the development costs
related to such tools and products are capitalized. These costs are being
amortized ratably based on the projected revenue associated with these tools and
products or the straight-line method over five years, whichever method results
in a higher level of amortization. There were no software development costs
capitalized for the period from June 15, 1994 to December 31, 1994, for the year
ended December 31, 1995 or for the six months ended June 30, 1995. For the six
months ended June 30, 1996, the Company capitalized $445 of software development
costs. Amortization expense related to capitalized software development costs
was $11 for the six months ended June 30, 1996.

(I) INCOME TAXES

Prior to the Spin-off, the Company's and Integrated Healthcare Solutions,
Inc.'s results of operations were included in the consolidated Federal income
tax returns filed by Healthdyne. Under the tax sharing agreement between the
Company and Healthdyne, income taxes were recorded by the Company as if it filed
separate income tax returns. The Company's subsidiaries DataView Imaging
International, Inc. ("DataView") and HCI (through December 31, 1995) are
required to file separate income tax returns.

The Company accounts for income taxes using an asset and liability approach
in accordance with Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 109 ("SFAS
109"). Under SFAS 109, deferred income taxes are recognized for the tax
consequences of "temporary differences" by applying enacted statutory tax rates
applicable to future years to differences between the financial statement
carrying amounts and the tax bases of existing assets and liabilities.
Additionally, the effect on deferred taxes of a change in tax rates is
recognized in earnings in the period that includes the enactment date. Income
tax benefits are not recognized unless ultimate realization of such benefits is
reasonably certain.

(J) NET EARNINGS (LOSS) PER SHARE OF COMMON STOCK

Primary earnings (loss) per common share and common share equivalent are
based on the weighted average number of shares outstanding and common share
equivalents derived from dilutive stock options. Fully diluted earnings per
share are not significantly different from primary earnings per share.

(K) UNAUDITED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

In the opinion of the Company, all adjustments (consisting of normal
recurring accruals) considered necessary for the fair presentation of the
unaudited consolidated financial statements of the Company as of June 30, 1996
and for the six months ended June 30, 1995 and 1996 have been included.
Operating results for the six-month period ended June 30, 1996 are not
necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the year ended
December 31, 1996.

2. RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS

Healthdyne provides certain legal, tax, data processing, personnel,
insurance, and accounting services to the Company. Amounts charged to the
Company related to such services, which have been reflected as general and
administrative expenses in the accompanying consolidated statements of
operations for the period from June 15, 1994 to December 31, 1994, for the year
ended December 31, 1995 and for the six months ended June 30, 1995 and 1996 were
$164, $325, $153 and $14, respectively. Charges for services provided by
Healthdyne to the Company are generally determined based on estimates of actual
time in providing such services to the Company using actual costs without
markup. To the extent that charges for such services and for costs incurred by
Healthdyne on the Company's behalf are allocations of common expenses, such
allocations are based on one or more criteria such as asset or revenue size,
relative transaction volume,

F-9
<PAGE> 66

HEALTHDYNE INFORMATION ENTERPRISES, INC.
AND SUBSIDIARIES

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS -- (CONTINUED)

employee headcounts, facility size, and other relevant criteria. The Company
believes that such allocation methods result in reasonable approximations of the
common expenses related to the Company.

Healthdyne also pays group health and property and casualty insurance on
the Company's behalf. Amounts allocated to the Company for these premiums and
included in cost of revenue and operating expenses in the accompanying
consolidated statements of operations for the period from June 15, 1994 to
December 31, 1994, for the year ended December 31, 1995 and for the six months
ended June 30, 1995 and 1996 were $9, $57, $19 and $10, respectively.

3. ACQUISITIONS

On October 27, 1994, the Company acquired a 44% interest in HCI of Dallas,
Texas for approximately $6,750 in cash. HCI is a provider of integration engine
software. The investment was accounted for using the equity method of
accounting, and is included in investment in affiliated company in the
accompanying consolidated balance sheet at December 31, 1994. The excess of cost
over the Company's share of net assets of HCI approximated its investment.

Summarized financial information of HCI as of and for the year ended
December 31, 1994 is as follows:

<TABLE>
<S> <C>
Assets:
Current assets........................................................... $4,383
Furniture and equipment, net............................................. 219

Revenue.................................................................... $5,072
Gross profit............................................................... 4,081
Income before income taxes................................................. 1,475
Net income................................................................. $ 951
</TABLE>

On May 9, 1995, the Company purchased an additional 13% interest in HCI for
approximately $3,061 in cash bringing the Company's total ownership interest to
57%. The acquisition was accounted for using the purchase method of accounting
with the results of operations of the business acquired included retroactively
from January 1, 1995. The acquisition resulted in cost over net assets acquired
of approximately $8,834. Effective December 31, 1995, HIE increased its
ownership interest in HCI from 57% to 100% for approximately $6,162 in deferred
payments financed by two promissory notes. The first promissory note for
approximately $1,100 bore interest at 8% per annum, was secured by HCI's
accounts receivable and was paid in full by the Company in April 1996. The
second promissory note is an approximately $5,062 convertible debenture, bearing
interest at 6.4% per annum, secured by a portion of HCI common stock, and is due
January 2, 1998. The principal and accrued interest under this debenture is
convertible at the holders' option into shares of HIE common stock at $3.50 per
share on January 2, 1998. The acquisition was accounted for using the purchase
method of accounting. The acquisition resulted in purchased in-process research
and development of approximately $3,605, which was expensed in 1995, purchased
software of approximately $807, and additional cost over net assets acquired of
approximately $1,169.

On July 22, 1994, the Company acquired a 61% interest in DataView for
approximately $1,250 in cash. DataView produces a system that captures and
transmits radiology and other clinical images. The acquisition was accounted for
using the purchase method of accounting with the results of operations of the
business

F-10

HEALTHDYNE INFORMATION ENTERPRISES, INC.
AND SUBSIDIARIES

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS -- (CONTINUED)

acquired included from the effective date of acquisition. The pro forma effect
on earnings for the period prior to acquisition is not significant. The
acquisition resulted in cost over net assets acquired (goodwill) of
approximately $1,799, which was reduced at the end of 1995 by $1,430 to reflect
the impairment of such goodwill resulting from a change in HIE's strategic
direction with respect to DataView. Further, in connection with the acquisition,
the Company purchased an option for $300 to acquire the remaining 39% interest
in DataView. The option price is a multiple equal to a negotiated factor times
the sum of DataView's revenue growth percentage and earnings before interest and
taxes as a percent of revenue during the option year. In conjunction with the
goodwill impairment charge referred to above, HIE also fully reserved the cost
of this option at the end of 1995 (see note 13).

At December 31, 1995, DataView and HIE had approximately $1,200 and $1,400
of estimated net operating loss carryforwards, respectively, available for
Federal income tax reporting purposes to reduce future taxable income, if any.
The DataView carryforward will only reduce the taxable income of DataView and
cannot be utilized by another member of the HIE group. The HIE carryforward will
only reduce the taxable income of HIE and HCI. These carryforwards will begin to
expire in 2009 if not utilized. The alternative minimum tax loss carryforwards
of HIE and DataView approximate the regular tax net operating loss carryforwards
(see note 13).

8. SHAREHOLDERS' EQUITY

The Company was incorporated on June 15, 1994 and its articles of
incorporation authorized 20,000 shares of common stock and 10,000 shares of
preferred stock. The Company was initially capitalized on June 24, 1994, with
the issuance of 8,000 shares of common stock to Healthdyne. On December 12,
1994, the Company declared a 1.9375-for-one stock split effected in the form of
a stock dividend. Shareholders' equity and all share and per share information
in the accompanying consolidated financial statements and related notes have
been restated to reflect this split. On August 10, 1995, the Company's Board of
Directors approved an amendment to the Company's articles of incorporation which
increased the number of authorized shares of common stock from 20,000 to 50,000
and increased the number of authorized shares of preferred stock from 10,000 to
20,000. On November 6, 1995, Healthdyne distributed all of the 16,115
then-outstanding shares of the Company's common stock to the Healthdyne
shareholders.

Stock Option Plans

The Company maintains five stock option plans for the benefit of key
employees, nonemployee directors, and certain directors and employees of
Healthdyne (with such Healthdyne-related plan being established pursuant to the
Spin-off). A total of 4,110 shares and 5,068 shares of the Company's common
stock have been authorized for issuance under these plans as of December 31,
1995 and June 30, 1996, respectively. Terms of options granted under the plans
are determined by the Stock Option Committee of the Company's Board of
Directors, subject to the terms of the respective plans. There was no stock
option activity for the period from June 15, 1994 to December 31, 1994. A
summary of stock option transactions under these plans during 1995 and for the
six months ended June 30, 1996 is shown below:

Non-Employee Directors Stock Plan

On October 20, 1995, the Company established a stock plan for nonemployee
directors whereby such directors may elect to receive all or a portion of their
annual retainer fee in unrestricted shares of the Company's common stock. As of
June 30, 1996, none of the 250 shares reserved for this plan have been issued.

Stock Purchase Plan

On July 1, 1996, the Company commenced an employee discount stock purchase
plan for all eligible employees of HIE and designated subsidiaries. Participants
may use up to 10% of their compensation to

AND SUBSIDIARIES

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS -- (CONTINUED)

purchase the Company's common stock through payroll deductions for 85% of the
lower of the beginning or ending stock price on a quarterly basis. There were
200 shares of HIE common stock reserved for issuance under this plan as of June
30, 1996.

Shareholder Rights Plan

On October 20, 1995, the Company's Board of Directors declared a dividend
distribution of one purchase right for each share of the Company's common stock
outstanding as of October 30, 1995. If a person or group acquires beneficial
ownership of 15% or more of the Company's outstanding common stock or announces
a tender offer or exchange that would result in the acquisition of a beneficial
ownership right of 20% or more of the Company's outstanding common stock, the
rights detach from the common stock and are distributed to shareholders as
separate securities. Each right entitles its holder to purchase one
one-hundredth of a share (a unit) of Series A Cumulative Preferred Stock, at a
purchase price of $50 per unit. The rights, which do not have voting power,
expire on October 23, 2005 unless previously distributed and may be redeemed by
the Company in whole at a price of $.01 per right at any time before and within
10 days after their distribution. If the Company is acquired in a merger or
other business combination transaction, or 50% of its assets or earnings power
are sold at any time after the rights become exercisable, the rights entitle a
holder to buy a number of common shares of the acquiring company having a market
value of twice the exercise price of the right. If a person acquires 20% of the
Company's common stock or if a 15% or larger holder merges with the Company and
the common stock is not changed or exchanged in such merger, or engages in
self-dealing transactions with the Company, each right not owned by such holder
becomes exercisable for the number of common shares of the Company having a
market value of twice the exercise price of the right.

9. EMPLOYEE BENEFIT PLAN

The Company and HCI each maintain a 401(k) defined contribution plan for
the benefit of their employees. The Company's obligation for contributions under
its 401(k) plan is limited to the lesser of (i) one-half of each participant's
contribution but not more than 2.5% of the participant's base salary or (ii) 20%
of the Company's pretax earnings before consideration of this contribution.
Discretionary Company contributions are allowed under this plan. The HCI plan
provides for HCI contributions equal to one-half of each participant's
contribution up to 3% of the participant's base salary. Contributions to the
plans included in the consolidated statements of operations for the period from
June 15, 1994 to December 31, 1994, for the year ended December 31, 1995, and
for the six months ended June 30, 1995 and 1996 were approximately $-0-, $81,
$48 and $47, respectively.

10. FAIR VALUE OF FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS

Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 107, Disclosure about Fair
Value of Financial Instruments, requires that the Company disclose estimated
fair values for its financial instruments. Fair value estimates, methods, and
assumptions are set forth below for the Company's financial instruments.

(A) CASH AND CASH EQUIVALENTS

The carrying amount approximates fair value because of the short maturity
of these instruments.

(B) LONG-TERM DEBT

The Company estimates that the carrying amount of the Company's long-term
debt approximates the fair value based on the current rates offered to the
Company for debt of the same remaining maturities.

Rental expense for operating leases (except those with lease terms of a
month or less that were not renewed) for the period from June 15, 1994 to
December 31, 1994, for the year ended December 31, 1995, and for the six months
ended June 30, 1995 and 1996 was $37, $362, $136 and $260, respectively.

HIE had committed to make loans up to $4,000 to CHS with such loans being
convertible into a 64% ownership interest in CHS between October 21, 1996 and
December 31, 2005. On December 4, 1995, Massey Burch Capital Corp. ("Massey
Burch") agreed to invest in CHS by acquiring one-half of HIE's rights and
obligations under HIE's commitment. Under this agreement, Massey Burch will make
loans to CHS until the later of December 31, 1996 or such time as Massey Burch
has loaned $1.3 million to CHS. At that point, HIE and Massey Burch will make
loans to CHS on an equal basis until HIE and Massey Burch have each loaned a
total of $2 million to CHS, each loan convertible into a 32% ownership interest
in CHS between October 21, 1996 and June 30, 2004. Loans by HIE to CHS totaled
$495 at December 31, 1994 and $1,300 at December 31, 1995 and June 30, 1996. The
loans bear interest at 8%, payable annually, and are secured by CHS' accounts
receivable, contract rights, equipment, inventory and intellectual property
rights, and a pledge by the CHS shareholders of their shares of CHS common
stock. The losses of CHS are netted against the notes receivable from CHS in the
accompanying consolidated balance sheets and are shown as losses of affiliate in
the accompanying consolidated statements of operations (see note 13).

HIE has also committed to make loans to DataView up to a maximum of $2,450
to be repaid in five equal annual installments commencing on August 1, 2005. The
loan balance, which has been eliminated in consolidation in the accompanying
consolidated financial statements, totaled $1,003 at December 31, 1994, $1,949
at December 31, 1995 and $2,073 at June 30, 1996 (see note 13).

12. MAJOR CUSTOMERS

No single customer accounted for more than 10% of the Company's revenue for
1994 and 1995. One customer accounted for approximately 26% of the Company's
revenue for the six months ended June 30, 1996. In addition, one distributor
provided customers to the Company that accounted for approximately 18%, 21% and
12% of the Company's revenue for the year ended December 31, 1995 and for the
six months ended June 30, 1995 and 1996, respectively.

13. EVENTS (UNAUDITED) SUBSEQUENT TO THE DATE OF THE REPORT OF THE INDEPENDENT
AUDITOR

On June 12, 1996, HIE and DataView entered into an agreement (the
"Agreement") providing for a restructuring of the relationship between the
parties effective as of April 1, 1996. The Agreement provides, among other
things, for (i) a modification of the existing funding agreement between the
parties to limit the Company's lending commitment to DataView to a maximum of
$2,042 (the balance due under such funding agreement as of March 31, 1996); (ii)
the repayment by DataView of certain advances totaling at least $93 made by HIE
subsequent to December 31, 1995; (iii) a reduction in HIE's equity interest in
DataView from the current 61.5% to 19.5% through a stock repurchase by DataView
financed by HIE under a $1,061 fully-reserved promissory note; (iv) certain
rights for HIE to use DataView's clinical image management technology in HIE's
service business as well as nonexclusive product distribution rights; and (v) a
reduction in HIE's representation on the DataView Board of Directors and a
termination of HIE's executive management responsibilities with respect to
DataView. Accordingly, subsequent to March 31, 1996, DataView's financial
position, results of operations and cash flows are no longer consolidated with
HIE.

On July 30, 1996, the Company and Massey Burch entered into an agreement in
principle which contemplates the purchase by the Company of an option to acquire
Massey Burch's investment in CHS. Each of the Company and Massey Burch currently
holds less than 1% of the common stock of CHS and an 8% convertible debenture
which is convertible into 32% of the CHS common stock on a fully diluted basis.
The option as currently proposed would be exercisable at any time during the
period from December 31, 1996 through June 30, 1997, with the option exercise
price to be payable through the issuance of the greater of 417 shares of the
Company's Common Stock or the equivalent number of shares having a fair market
value of $2,000 at the time the option is exercised. The agreement in principle
contemplates that, as consideration for the grant of this option, the Company
will issue to Massey Burch a warrant to purchase 50 shares of the Company's
common stock at fair market value as of the date of grant. The agreement further
contemplates that Massey Burch will be granted registration rights with respect
to both the shares of common stock underlying the warrant and the shares
issuable upon the Company's exercise of the proposed option. Massey Burch will
continue to be subject to its commitment to fund CHS up to a maximum of $2,000
of which Massey Burch has funded $1,400 as of August 31, 1996. The transactions
contemplated by the agreement in principle are subject to negotiation and
execution of definitive agreements and other customary conditions, as well as
certain rights of first refusal in favor of CHS and other CHS shareholders.
There can be no assurance that definitive agreements will be entered into or,
even if entered into, that the transaction will be consummated as described
above or that the Company would exercise an option to acquire Massey Burch's
interest in CHS.

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
DECEMBER 31, 1992, 1993, AND 1994

1. ORGANIZATION AND NATURE OF BUSINESS:

Healthcare Communications, Inc. (HCI or the "Company") was established as a
Texas corporation in 1991. The Company develops integration software which
enables different computer systems to communicate and transmit information as
one integrated system. To date, the Company has marketed its products primarily
to the healthcare industry. Revenue is earned from sales of software licenses
and fees from related implementation, maintenance, and training.

2. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES:

Cash And Cash Equivalents

Cash and cash equivalents consist of cash and short-term investments with
original maturities of three months or less.

Short-term investments potentially expose the Company to concentrations of
credit risk, as defined by Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (SFAS)
No. 105, "Disclosure of Information about Financial Instruments with
Off-Balance-Sheet Risk and Financial Instruments with Concentrations of Credit
Risk." The Company's short-term investments are made in creditworthy companies
as defined by management. In management's opinion, these investments do not
generate significant credit risk to the Company.

Other Assets

Other assets consist primarily of purchased software which is amortized
over periods approximating three to five years on the straight-line method.

Accrued Liabilities

Accrued liabilities consist of the following:

<TABLE>
<CAPTION>
1993 1994
-------- --------
<S> <C> <C>
Accrued payroll and payroll related costs...................... $ 39,662 $ 59,000
Accrued royalties.............................................. 74,314 --
Other accrued liabilities...................................... 73,695 102,865
-------- --------
$187,671 $161,865
======== ========
</TABLE>

Revenue

The Company's basic software product is designed so that it can be
installed without modification and generally HCI is contracted by the customer
to assist with the installation. Therefore, revenue from software license sales
is recognized upon execution of a binding commitment from the purchaser and
shipment of the software. Any special modifications performed by HCI for its
customers are billed separately with related revenue recognized as the work is
performed.

Installation fees are charged to customers to assist in the installation of
software sold. Such fees are recognized as revenue on a progress-to-completion
method.

Annual maintenance fees are charged to customers for ongoing support as
well as generic product modifications and updates. Such fees are recognized
ratably over the term of the maintenance contract. Customers are granted the
first 90 days of support without charge; however, costs associated with this
activity are immaterial.

F-23
<PAGE> 80

HEALTHCARE COMMUNICATIONS, INC.

3. LONG-TERM DEBT:

Under a financing agreement with International Business Machines
Corporation (IBM) consummated in December 1992, the Company, among other things,
committed to modify its HCI-LINK software product to operate on certain
identified IBM hardware and software systems and to market and support such

4. STOCKHOLDERS' EQUITY:

On June 15, 1994, HCI and a shareholder entered into an agreement under
which HCI was granted a call to purchase all, but not less than all, of the HCI
shares held by the shareholder (approximately 16% of total outstanding shares at
that date) for a total cost of $2,192,000. Of this amount, $1,650,000 was paid
when the call was exercised on October 27, 1994, with additional amounts due and
other provisions of the agreement as follows:

- HCI purchased the call for $35,000.

- The net amount ($156,681) of receivables from the shareholder less a
$50,000 note payable to the shareholder, was canceled.

- HCI committed to pay the shareholder 20% of gross revenue received from
its sales territory identified as Europe/Middle East until a total of
$400,000 has been paid to the shareholder. A minimum of $25,000 is due on
the first day of every third month beginning February 1, 1995. After
$400,000 has been paid to the shareholder, HCI will pay the shareholder 4%
of gross revenue from the Europe/Middle East territory until December 31,
1997.

- Certain software source code licensing rights were granted to HCI by the
shareholder for a royalty paid to the shareholder amounting to 12% of
gross revenue received by HCI from the sale, transfer, or other use of
those rights.

- The shareholder will receive commissions ranging from 3% to 7% of gross
revenue received by HCI from certain identified customers.

On October 27, 1994, HCI sold 50,680 shares of its common stock to
Healthdyne, Inc. (Healthdyne), an unrelated third-party, for an amount, net of
transaction costs, of $4,179,744. At the same time, Healthdyne purchased
additional stock from existing shareholders to bring its total investment to
65,395 shares, or 43.9% of outstanding common stock at December 31, 1994. On
July 1, 1996, and at any time thereafter, Healthdyne will have the option to
acquire additional shares to bring its ownership interest in common stock to
51%. As of December 31, 1997, and any time thereafter, Healthdyne will have the
option to purchase up to 100% of the outstanding common shares then held by any
shareholder other than Healthdyne. The purchase price for Healthdyne's
additional acquisitions of stock would be based on a formula which considers
HCI's revenue growth rate and operating margin percentage.

The agreement between HCI and Healthdyne includes preemptive and piggyback
provisions and the granting of a distributor license to Healthdyne.

5. OPERATING LEASES:

The Company leases its office space, a vehicle, and equipment under
multiple operating leases that expire at various times through the next few
years. The minimum rental payments under these leases total $143,341 in 1995,
$9,595 in 1996, and $12,050 in 1997.

6. FEDERAL INCOME TAXES:

Statement of Financial .Accounting Standards No. 109, "Accounting for
Income Taxes," issued by the Financial Accounting Standards Board, specifies an
asset and liability approach which requires the recognition of deferred tax
assets and liabilities for the expected future tax consequence of events which
have been recognized in the Company's financial statements. The Company adopted
this statement effective January 1, 1992. Under the Statement, the Company
recorded a deferred federal income tax asset as of December 31, 1993, which was
realized during 1994.

Federal income tax expense (benefit) consists of the following:

fully utilized in fiscal year 1994 to reduce the current year tax obligation.

7. RELATED-PARTY TRANSACTIONS:

The Company has made noninterest-bearing advances to a development stage
company related by common ownership. This company was established to develop
software for sale as well as internal use that enables medical providers to
efficiently record and file claims with insurance companies. Such advances
amounted to approximately $306,000 in 1994. In 1995, the direction of the
investee company was modified, personnel changes were made, and certain
shareholders commenced proceedings to obtain title to the software before
commencing revised marketing plans. Alternatively, the shareholders may seek a
buyer of the software. Management of HCI believes that the software is a quality
product which should create enough future revenue to repay in full the advances
made by HCI. Advances in 1995, which have been relatively insignificant, have
been charged to operations.

During 1992, 1993, and 1994, HCI paid expenses to a person employed by its
President, the President is also a member of the board of directors and a
shareholder. The person employed provided necessary medical care for the
President's daughter. The expenses paid by HCI are accumulated in a revolving
note to HCI. The note accrues interest at the lowest acceptable rate under the
Internal Revenue Service Code (5.27% at December 31, 1994). The related
receivable amounted to $41,659 and $66,368 at December 31, 1993 and 1994,
respectively.

During 1993 and 1994, HCI issued 14,672 and 8,327 common shares to certain
employees for no consideration. This resulted in related compensation expense of
approximately $43,000 and $24,500, based upon the average common stock prices
issued to third-party investors during similar time periods.

8. SIGNIFICANT CUSTOMERS:

Certain customers made up a significant portion of revenue for the years
ended 1992, 1993, and 1994. During 1992, the Baptist Medical Centers, Dynapro,
Inc., and Rensimer Associates, LTD accounted for approximately 42%, 15%, and 13%
of net sales, respectively. In 1993, Cook-Ft. Worth Children's Medical Center
and Kaweah Delta District Hospital accounted for approximately 11% and 11% of
net sales. During 1994, Mercy Information Systems accounted for approximately
14% of net sales.

9. CONCENTRATIONS OF CREDIT RISK:

The majority of the Company's sales are to companies in the healthcare
industry. HCI conducts credit evaluations of its customers prior to sale and
maintains an allowance for expected credit losses.
