                   SMS TO BE ACQUIRED BY SIEMENS CORPORATION

              SHARED MEDICAL SYSTEMS CORPORATION REPORTS RESULTS
                    FOR FIRST QUARTER ENDED MARCH 31, 2000


MALVERN PA -- May 1, 2000 - Siemens Corporation and Shared Medical System
Corporation (SMS) (NYSE: SMS) today announced that they have entered into a
definitive agreement for Siemens Corporation, a subsidiary of Siemens AG, to
acquire SMS.

Under the terms of the agreement, Siemens will make a cash tender offer for all
of the outstanding common stock of SMS at a price of $73 per share. The value of
the deal is approximately $2.1 billion. The transaction was approved by the SMS
Board of Directors. It is subject to certain conditions including, receipt of
regulatory approvals under the Hart-Scott-Rodino Antitrust Improvements Act of
1976 and receipt of approval from German antitrust authorities. The transaction
is expected to be completed before June 30, 2000.

Dr. Erich R. Reinhardt, President, Siemens AG's Medical Engineering Group
commented, "Combining Siemens innovative technology and know-how with SMS'
advanced information systems will enable us to generate greater efficiencies for
healthcare providers around the world. SMS' systems, services and the expertise
of its employees will help us to further our goal of providing complete
solutions for the healthcare industry."

Marvin S. Cadwell, President and CEO, of SMS stated, "This agreement unites SMS
with one of the world's largest and most profitable companies serving the
healthcare marketplace. We are excited about the opportunities that this
presents for our employees and customers and the value it provides to our
shareholders. We share a dedication to providing solutions that improve the
quality and efficiency of healthcare. I believe that this merger will enable us
to better meet the demands of today's dynamic healthcare marketplace."

At the same time, the Company reported total revenues for the first quarter of
$240.6 million, a decrease of 16% compared to $287.1 million for the same period
in 1999. Consolidated service and system fee revenues totaled $222.1 million, a
decrease of 15% compared with $259.8 million for first quarter 1999. Net income
for the first quarter was $2.7 million, compared with $18.3 million in the first
quarter of 1999. Diluted net income per share for the quarter was $.10, compared
with $.68 for the same period in 1999.

Added Marvin S. Cadwell, President and CEO of SMS, "During the quarter, our
earnings were negatively impacted by an industry-wide weakness in new software
sales and a slower than anticipated return in the demand for large-system
implementations following Y2K. We look forward to the opportunities ahead as we
transition to the Siemens organization."
