                   NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
                                 March 31, 1997
                                   (Unaudited)

(1)      Basis of Presentation

The accompanying unaudited interim financial statements of the Company have been
prepared in accordance with generally  accepted  accounting  principles.  In the
opinion of management, these statements reflect all adjustments, consisting only
of  normal  recurring  adjustments,  necessary  for a fair  presentation  of the
Company's financial condition,  results of operations,  changes in stockholders'
equity and cash flows for the periods  presented.  The results of operations for
the period ended March 31, 1997 may not be indicative of the results that may be
expected for the full year ending December 31, 1997. These financial  statements
and notes should be read in conjunction with the financial  statements and notes
included in the audited consolidated financial statements of the Company for the
year ended December 31, 1996 as contained in the Company's Annual Report on Form
10-K for the year ended December 31, 1996 (1934 Act File No. 0-25378).

(2)      Cash Equivalents

As of March 31, 1997, cash equivalents  consist of highly liquid securities with
original maturities of three months or less at the date acquired by the Company.

(3)      New Accounting Standard

In February 1997, the Financial  Accounting  Standards Board issued Statement of
Financial  Accounting  Standards No. 128, "Earnings Per Share," ("SFAS No. 128")
which becomes effective December 15, 1997. Early adoption of SFAS No. 128 is not
permitted.  Under SFAS No. 128, the Company  will be  required to disclose basic
earnings per share (with the principal  difference from current disclosure being
that common stock  equivalents  will not be  considered in the  compilation  for
basic  earnings  per share) and  diluted  earnings per share. The pro forma
computation of earnings per share, under SFAS No. 128 is as follows.

Item 2


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

Three months ended March 31, 1997 compared to three months ended March 31, 1996

Revenue. Revenue for the three months ended March 31, 1997 was $25.7 million, an
increase of $11.5 million or 81% over the three months ended March 31, 1996. The
increase was  primarily the result of a 97% increase in revenue from the sale of
Decision  Support  Systems.  Revenue from the sale of Decision  Support  Systems
represented  91%  of  revenue  for  the  three  months  ended March 31, 1997 and
Syndicated Products represented the remaining 9% of revenue.

The increase in Decision Support Systems revenue was primarily the result of the
Company's  continued  success in  expanding  its customer  relationships  in the
supplier  and  provider  markets,  and as a  result  of the  acquisition  of LBA
Healthcare Management, Inc. ("LBA").

Salaries Wages and Benefits.  Salaries,  wages and benefits  decreased to 42% of
revenue for the three  months ended March 31, 1997 from 47% for the three months
ended March 31, 1996.  The decrease was a result of the continued  leveraging of
the Company's  historical  investments in technology and basic infrastructure as
revenue increased.

Other Operating  Expenses.  Other operating  expenses,  which include occupancy,
travel and marketing expenses,  increased to 24% of revenue for the three months
ended March 31, 1997 from 23% for the three months  ended March 31,  1996.  This
increase  was a result of certain of these  expenses,  primarily  marketing  and
travel, growing at a faster rate than revenue.

Depreciation and Amortization. Depreciation and amortization increased to 18% of
revenue for the three  months ended March 31, 1997 from 16% for the three months
ended March 31, 1996. This increase was a result of the additional  amortization
and depreciation associated with the acquisitions of HealthChex,  Inc., Response
Healthcare Information Management, Inc., and LBA.

Interest  Income and  Expense.  Net  interest  income was  $83,000 for the three
months ended March 31, 1997  compared  with net interest  income of $199,000 for
the three  months  ended March 31,  1996.  This change was the result of a lower
invested balance in 1997.

Income Taxes.  The  Company's  effective tax rate was 39.9% for the three months
ended March 31, 1997  compared  with 39.4% for the three  months ended March 31,
1996. This higher rate was due to an increase in non-deductible goodwill.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

The   Company   maintains   a   $50   million   (subject  to  certain  borrowing
limitations)  revolving  line of credit with First Union  National Bank of North
Carolina  ("First  Union")  for  general  corporate  purposes  including  future
acquisitions  and working capital  requirements.  Borrowings under this line are
collateralized by substantially  all of the Company's assets,  and bear interest
at varying  rates based on an index tied to First  Union's  prime rate or LIBOR.
The Company is  required to pay a  commitment  fee on the average  daily  unused
portion of the  facility at a rate from 0.25% to 0.375% per annum,  depending on
the Company's  debt/cash flow ratio. The credit facility also contains financial
covenants applicable to HCIA, including debt/cash flow ratios and ratios of debt
to capital.  As of March 31, 1997,  the Company was in compliance  with all such
financial  covenants  and had a maximum  borrowing  capacity of $50 million, and
there were no borrowings  outstanding  under the facility.  The credit  facility
reduces to $37.5  million in July 1999,  $25 million in July 2000 and expires on
July 31, 2001.

(1) As of March 31, 1997,  options to purchase  1,554,929 shares of common stock
were  outstanding.  In the  calculation  of primary net income per share,  these
options were included in the average number of common shares  outstanding  using
the treasury stock method based on the average price of the common stock for the
period.

As the price of the  Company's  common  stock as of March 31, 1997 was less than
the average  price for the three  months  ended March 31,  1997,  fully  diluted
earnings per share is not applicable.

(2) In accordance with Accounting Principles Board Opinion No. 15, any reduction
of less than 3% need not be considered dilutive.  Accordingly,  the consolidated
statements of operations  reflect net income per share and the weighted  average
number of shares used in the calculation on a primary basis only.
