ITEM 5:  OTHER EVENTS


	On March 25, 1997, the Company entered into an Agreement and Plan of 
Merger ("Agreement") with PHAMIS, Inc. ("PHAMIS"), a provider of acute 
care clinical and hospital-based information solutions.  The merger, which 
has been approved by the Board of Directors of each company, is subject to 
regulatory and shareholder approval.  The Agreement provides for the 
stockholders of PHAMIS to receive .73 shares of the Company's Common Stock 
for each share of PHAMIS Common Stock, subject to adjustment within a 
range of .68 to .80 shares of IDX Common Stock, based on an average market
price per share of IDX.  Approximately 6.1 million shares of Common Stock 
of PHAMIS are outstanding and subject to the exchange.  Management expects 
that the merger, if consummated, will be accounted for under the pooling of 
interests method.
