Healthdyne Information Enterprises, Inc. (the "Registrant") hereby
incorporates by reference into this registration statement the
following documents:
(a) The Registrants's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal
year ended December 31, 1995;
(b) All other reports filed by the Registrant pursuant to Sections
13(a) or 15(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the
"1934 Act"), since the end of the fiscal year covered by the annual
report referred to in (a) above; and
(c) The description of the Registrant's Common Stock, par value

Rights associated with the Common Stock, as contained in the
Registrant's Registration Statements on Form 8-A filed pursuant to
Section 12(g) of the 1934 Act, including in each case any amendments
or reports filed for the purpose of updating such descriptions.
All documents filed subsequent to the date of this registration
statement by the undersigned Registrant pursuant to Sections 13(a), 13(c), 14
and 15(d) of the 1934 Act prior to the filing of a post-effective amendment
hereto which indicates that all shares of Common Stock offered hereby have been
sold or which deregisters any shares of such Common Stock then remaining
unsold, shall also be deemed to be incorporated by reference in this
registration statement and to be a part hereof from their respective dates of
filing. Any statement contained in a document incorporated or deemed to be
incorporated by reference herein shall be deemed to be modified or superseded
for purposes of this registration statement to the extent that a statement
contained herein, or in any other subsequently filed document that also is or
is deemed to be incorporated by reference herein, modifies or supersedes such
statement. Any statement contained in this registration statement shall be
deemed to be modified or superseded to the extent that a statement contained in
a subsequently filed document which is or is deemed to be incorporated by
reference herein modifies or supersedes such statement. Any statement so
modified or superseded shall not be deemed, except as so modified or
superseded, to constitute a part of this registration statement.
ITEM 4. DESCRIPTION OF SECURITIES.
Not applicable.
ITEM 5. INTERESTS OF NAMED EXPERTS AND COUNSEL.
The legality of the shares offered hereby is being passed upon for the
Registrant by Troutman Sanders LLP, Atlanta, Georgia. Carl E. Sanders, a
partner at Troutman
II-2
<PAGE> 3
Sanders LLP, is a director of the Registrant and the beneficial owner of 92,500
shares of the Common Stock of the Registrant as of May 31, 1996.
ITEM 6. INDEMNIFICATION OF DIRECTORS AND OFFICERS.
Under the Georgia Business Corporation Code, the Registrant has broad
powers to indemnify its directors and officers against liabilities they may
incur in such capacities, including liabilities under the Securities Act. The
Registrant's By-Laws provide that the Registrant will indemnify its directors
and officers to the fullest extent permitted by law.
In addition, the Registrant's Articles of Incorporation, as amended,
provide that, pursuant to Georgia law, its directors shall not be liable for
monetary damages for breach of the directors' fiduciary duty of care to the
Registrant and its shareholders. This provision in the Articles of
Incorporation does not eliminate the duty of care, and in appropriate
circumstances equitable remedies such as injunctive 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 Registrant for appropriations of business opportunities
of the Registrant, acts or omissions involving international misconduct or a
knowing violation 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 provision also does not
affect a director's responsibilities under any other law, such as the federal
securities laws or state or federal environmental laws.
At present, there is no pending litigation or proceeding involving a
director or officer of the Registrant as to which indemnification is being
sought nor is the Registrant aware of any threatened litigation that may result
in claims for indemnification by any officer or director.
ITEM 7. EXEMPTION FROM REGISTRATION CLAIMED.
Not applicable.

ITEM 9. UNDERTAKINGS.
(a) Rule 415 offerings. The undersigned Registrant hereby
undertakes:
(1) To file, during any period in which offers or sales
are being made, a post-effective amendment to this
registration statement:
(i) To include any prospectus required by Section
10(a)(3) of the Securities Act of 1933;
(ii) To reflect in the prospectus any facts or
events arising after the effective date of the
registration statement (or the most recent
post-effective amendment thereof) which, individually
or in the aggregate, represent a fundamental change
in the information set forth in the registration
statement. Notwithstanding the foregoing, any
increase or decrease in volume of securities offered
(if the total dollar value of securities offered
would not exceed that which was registered) and any
deviation from the low or high and of the estimated
maximum offering range may be reflected in the form
of prospectus filed with the Commission pursuant to
Rule 424(b) if, in the aggregate, the changes in
volume and price represent no more than 20 percent
change in the maximum aggregate offering price set
forth in the "Calculation of Registration Fee" table
in the effective registration statement.
II-4
<PAGE> 5
(iii) To include any material information with
respect to the plan of distribution not previously
disclosed in the registration statement or any
material change to such information in the
registration statement;
Provided, however, that paragraphs (a)(1)(i) and (a)(1)(ii) do
not apply if the information required to be included in a
post-effective amendment by those paragraphs is contained in
periodic reports filed by the Registrant pursuant to Section
13 or Section 15(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934
that are incorporated by reference in the registration
statement.
(2) That, for the purpose of determining any liability
under the Securities Act of 1933, each such post-effective
amendment shall be deemed to be a new registration statement
relating to the securities offered therein, and the offering
of such securities at that time shall be deemed to be the
initial bona fide offering thereof.
(3) To remove from registration by means of a
post-effective amendment any of the securities being
registered which remain unsold at the termination of the
offering.
(b) Filings incorporating subsequent Exchange Act documents by
reference. The undersigned Registrant hereby undertakes that, for
purposes of determining any liability under the Securities Act of
1933, each filing of the Registrant's annual report pursuant to
Section 13(a) or Section 15(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934
that is incorporated by reference in the registration statement shall
be deemed to be a new registration statement relating to the
securities offered therein, and the offering of such securities at
that time shall be deemed to be the initial bona fide offering
thereof.
(c) Filing of registration statement on Form S-8. Insofar as
indemnification for liabilities arising under the Securities Act of
1933 may be permitted to directors, officers and controlling persons
of the Registrant pursuant to the foregoing provisions, or otherwise,
the Registrant has been advised that in the opinion of the Securities
and Exchange Commission such indemnification is against public policy
as expressed in the Act and is, therefore, unenforceable. In the
event that a claim for indemnification against such liabilities (other
than the payment by the Registrant of expenses incurred or paid by a
director, officer or controlling person of the Registrant in the
successful defense of any action, suit or proceeding) is asserted by
such director, officer or controlling person in connection with the
securities being registered, the Registrant will, unless in the
opinion of its counsel the matter has been settled by controlling
precedent, submit to a court of appropriate jurisdiction the question
whether such indemnification by it is against public policy as
expressed in the Act and will be governed by the final adjudication of
such issue.

Gentlemen:
We have examined a copy of the registration statement on Form S-8
proposed to be filed by Healthdyne Information Enterprises, Inc. (the
"Company"), with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the "Commission"),
relating to the registration pursuant to the provisions of the Securities Act
of 1933, as amended (the "Act"), of 200,000 shares (the "Shares") of the
Company's Common Stock, par value $.01 per share, together with associated
preferred stock purchase rights (the "Common Stock"), reserved for issuance
under the Company's Employee Stock Purchase Plan (the "Plan"). In rendering
this opinion, we have reviewed such documents and made such investigations as
we deemed appropriate.
We are of the opinion that, subject to compliance with the pertinent
provisions of the Act and to compliance with such securities or "Blue Sky" laws
of any jurisdiction as may be applicable, when certificates evidencing the
Shares have been duly executed, countersigned, registered, issued and delivered
in accordance with the terms of the Plan and the respective subscription
agreements thereunder, the Shares will be duly and validly issued and
outstanding, fully paid and non-assessable shares of Common Stock of the
Company.
We are members of the Bar of the State of Georgia. In expressing the
opinions set forth above, we are not passing on the laws of any jurisdiction
other than the laws of the State of Georgia and the Federal law of the United
States of America.
We hereby consent to the filing of this opinion or copies thereof as
an exhibit to the registration statement referred to above.
Very truly yours,
