                   HEALTHWATCH, INC. 2000 STOCK OPTION PLAN

                                  Arcticle I.

                           Establishment and Purpose

  1.1 Establishment.  HealthWatch, Inc., a Minnesota Corporation (the
"Company"), hereby establishes a stock option plan for employees and others
providing services to the Company and its Subsidiary Corporations, as described
herein, which shall be known as the "2000 STOCK OPTION PLAN" (the "Plan"). It is
intended that certain of the options issued pursuant to the Plan to employees
may, subject to the Plan being approved by the stockholders of the Company by
May 8, 2001, constitute incentive stock options within the meaning of Section
422 of the Internal Revenue Code and that other options issued pursuant to the
Plan shall constitute nonstatutory options. The Board shall determine which
options are to be incentive stock options and which are to be nonstatutory
options and shall enter into option agreements with recipients accordingly.

  1.2 Purpose.  The purpose of this Plan is to enhance stockholder investment by
attracting, retaining and motivating key employees and consultants of the
Company and its Subsidiary Corporations, and to encourage stock ownership by
such employees and consultants by providing them with a means to acquire a
proprietary interest in the Company's success.

                                  Article II.

                         Eligibility and Participation

  3.1 Eligibility and Participation.  All Employees are eligible to participate
in this Plan and receive Incentive Stock Options and/or Nonstatutory Options
hereunder. All Consultants are eligible to participate in this Plan and receive
Nonstatutory Options hereunder. Optionees in the Plan shall be selected by the

                                  Article IV.

                                Administration

  4.1 Administration. The Board shall be responsible for administering the Plan.

  The Board is authorized to interpret the Plan; to prescribe, amend, and
rescind rules and regulations relating to the Plan; to provide for conditions
and assurances deemed necessary or advisable to protect the interests of the
Company; and to make all other determinations necessary or advisable for the
administration of the Plan, but only to the extent not contrary to the express
provisions of the Plan. Determinations, interpretations, or other actions made
or taken by the Board, pursuant to the provisions of this Plan, shall be final
and binding and conclusive for all purposes and upon all persons.

  At the discretion of the Board, this Plan may be administered by a Committee
which shall be a committee of at least two directors appointed from time to time
by the Board; provided, however, that with respect to any Options granted to an
individual who is also a Section 16 Insider, the Committee shall consist of
either the entire Board or a committee solely made up of at least two directors
(who need not be members of the Committee with respect to Options granted to any
other individuals) who are Non-Employee Directors, and all authority and
discretion shall be exercised by such Non-Employee Directors, and ail references
herein to the "Committee" means such Non-Employee Directors insofar as any
actions or determinations of the Committee shall relate to or affect Options
made to or held by any Section 16 Insider. In selecting the Committee, the Board
shall also consider the benefits under Section 162(m) of the Code of having a
Committee composed of "outside directors" (as that term is defined in the Code)
for certain grants of Options to highly compensated executives. Such Committee
shall have full power and authority, subject to the limitations of the Plan and
any limitations imposed by the Board, to construe, interpret and administer this
Plan and to make determinations which shall be final, conclusive and binding
upon all persons, including, without limitation, the Company, the stockholders,
the directors and any persons having any interests in any Options which may be
granted under this Plan, and, by resolution or resolutions providing for the
creation and issuance of any such Option, to fix the terms upon which, the time
or times at or within which, and the price or prices at which any such shares
may be purchased from the Company upon the exercise of such Option, which terms,
time or times and price or prices shall, in every case, be set forth or
incorporated by reference in the instrument or instruments evidencing such
Option, and shall be consistent with the provisions of this Plan.

  The Board may from time to time remove members from, or add members to, the
Committee. The Board may terminate the Committee at any time. Vacancies on the
Committee, howsoever caused, shall be filled by the Board. The Committee shall
select one of its members as Chairman, and shall hold meetings at such times and
places as the Chairman may determine. A majority of the Committee at which a
quorum is present, or acts reduced to or approved in writing by all of the
members of the Committee, shall be the valid acts of the Committee. A quorum
shall consist of two-thirds (2/3) of the

                                       3
<PAGE>

members of the Committee.

  Where the Committee has been created by the Board, references herein to
actions to be taken by the Board shall be deemed to refer to the Committee as
well, except where limited by this Plan or by the Board.

  The Board shall have all of the enumerated powers of the Committee, but shall
not be limited to such powers. No member of the Board or the Committee shall be
liable for any action or determination made in good faith with respect to the
Plan or any Option granted under it.

                                  Article V.

                           Stock Subject to the Plan

  5.1 Number.  The total number of shares of Stock hereby made available and
reserved for issuance under the Plan shall be 2,000,000 shares. The number of
shares of Stock available for issuance hereunder shall automatically be subject
to increase (but not decrease) on January 1 of each year beginning January 1,
2001, to an amount equal to:

       (i)  twenty percent of the total number of fully-diluted shares of Stock
  of the Company (assuming the conversion of all outstanding preferred stock,
  and the exercise of all vested and unvested options, warrants and other
  convertible securities, whether or not such options, warrants or other
  convertible securities are then subject to being exercised) as of December 31
  of the immediately preceding year (subject to adjustment under Section 5.3);

              less

       (ii) as of December 31 of the immediately preceding year, the sum of (x)
  with respect to the 1989 Stock Option Plan, the 1993 Stock Option Plan and
  1995 Stock Option Plan, (A) the number of shares as to which options were
  outstanding on such date under such plans, (B) the number of shares previously
  issued upon the exercise of options granted under such plans, and (C) the
  number of shares as to which options remain available to be granted on such
  date under such plans, plus (y) with respect to the 1995 Stock Grant and
  Salary Deferral Plan, the number of shares of restricted or unrestricted stock
  that have been granted as of such date under such plan, plus the number of
  shares of such stock that remain available to be granted on such date under
  such plan;

provided, however, that no adjustment shall be made if it would result in a
reduction in the number of shares of Stock that were available for issuance
under this Plan immediately prior to such adjustment. Any or all shares of Stock
subject to the Plan may be issued in any combination of Incentive Stock Options
or Nonstatutory Options, and the amount of Stock subject to the Plan may be
increased from time to time in accordance with Article XII hereof.
Notwithstanding the above, the total number of shares of Stock issuable pursuant
to Incentive Stock Options may not be increased to more than 2,000,000 (other
than pursuant to anti-dilution adjustments provided in Section 5.3) without
stockholder approval. The aggregate number of shares of Stock available under
this Plan shall be subject to adjustment as provided in Section 5.3. The total
number of shares of Stock may be authorized but unissued shares of Stock, or
shares acquired by purchase as directed by the Board from time to time in its
discretion, to be used for issuance upon exercise of Options granted hereunder.

  If Options are issued in respect of options to acquire stock of any entity
acquired, by merger or otherwise, by the Company (or any subsidiary of the
Company), to the extent that such issuance shall not be inconsistent with the
terms, limitations and conditions of Section 422 of the Code or Rule 16b-3 under
the Exchange Act, the aggregate number of shares of Stock for which Options may
be granted hereunder shall automatically be increased by the number of shares
subject to the Options so issued; provided, however, that the aggregate number
of shares of Stock for which Options may be granted hereunder shall
automatically be decreased by the number of shares covered by any unexercised
portion of an Option so issued that has terminated for any reason, and the
shares subject to any such unexercised portion may not be optioned to any other
person.

  5.2 Unused Stock.  If an Option shall expire or terminate for any reason
without having been exercised in full, the

                                       4
<PAGE>

unpurchased shares of Stock subject thereto shall (unless the Plan shall have
terminated) become available for other Options under the Plan.

  5.3 Adjustment in Capitalization.  In the event of any change in the
outstanding shares of Stock by reason of a stock dividend or split,
recapitalization, reclassification, or other similar corporate change, the
aggregate number of shares of Stock set forth in Section 5.1 shall be
appropriately adjusted by the Board, whose determination shall be conclusive;
provided, however, that fractional shares shall be rounded to the nearest whole
share. In any such case, the number and kind of shares that are subject to any
Option (including any Option outstanding after termination of employment) and
the option price per share shall be proportionately and appropriately adjusted
without any change in the aggregate option price to be paid therefor upon
exercise of the Option.

                             Duration of the Plan

  6.1 Duration of the Plan. The Plan shall be in effect for ten years from the
date of its adoption by the Board. Any Options outstanding at the end of said
period shall remain in effect in accordance with their terms. The Plan shall
terminate before the end of said period, if all Stock subject to it has been
purchased pursuant to the exercise of Options granted under the Plan.

                                 Article VII.

                            Terms of Stock Options

  7.1 Grant of Options. Subject to Section 5.1, Options may be granted to
Employees or Consultants at any time and from time to time as determined by the
Board; provided, however, that Consultants may receive only Nonstatutory
Options, and may not receive Incentive Stock Options. The Board shall have
complete discretion in determining the number of Options granted to each
Optionee. In making such determinations, the Board may take into account the
nature of services rendered by such Employees or Consultants, their present and
potential contributions to the Company and its Subsidiary Corporations, and such
other factors as the Board in its discretion shall deem relevant. The Board also
shall determine whether an Option is to be an Incentive Stock Option or a
Nonstatutory Option.

  The Board is expressly given the authority to issue amended or replacement
Options with respect to shares of Stock subject to an Option previously granted
hereunder. An amended Option amends the terms of an option previously granted
and thereby supersedes the previous Option. A replacement Option is similar to a
new Option granted hereunder except that it provides that it shall be forfeited
to the extent that a previously granted Option is exercised, or except that its
issuance is conditioned upon the termination of a previously granted Option.

  7.2 $100,000 and Section 162(m) Limitations.  Except as provided below, the
Board shall not grant an Incentive Stock Option to, or modify the exercise
provisions of outstanding Incentive Stock Options held by, any person who, at
the time the Incentive Stock Option is granted (or modified), would thereby
receive or hold any Incentive Stock Options of the Company (and any Parent
Corporation or Subsidiary Corporations of the Company), such that the aggregate
Fair Market Value (determined as of the respective dates of grant or
modification of each option) of the Stock with respect to which such Incentive
Stock Options are exercisable for the first time during any calendar year is in
excess of $100,000 (or such other limit as may be prescribed by the Code from
time to time); provided that the foregoing restriction on modification of
outstanding Incentive Stock Options shall not preclude the Board from modifying
an outstanding Incentive Stock Option if, as a result of such modification and
with the consent of the Optionee, such Option no longer constitutes an Incentive
Stock Option; and provided that, if the $100,000 limitation (or such other
limitation prescribed by the Code) described in this Section 7.2 is exceeded,
the Incentive Stock Option, the granting or modification of which resulted in
the exceeding of such limit, shall be treated as an Incentive Stock Option up to
the limitation and the excess shall be treated as a NonStatutory Option. No
individual may be granted, in any twelve-month period, Options under the Plan
which are exercisable with respect to more than 1,000,000 shares of Stock.

  7.3 No Tandem Options.  Where an Option granted under this Plan is intended to
be an Incentive Stock Option, the

                                       5
<PAGE>

Option shall not contain terms pursuant to which the exercise of the Option
would affect the Optionee's right to exercise another option, or vice versa,
such that the Option intended to be an Incentive Stock Option would be deemed a
tandem stock option within the meaning of the regulations under Section 422 of
the Code.

  7.4 Option Agreement; Terms and Conditions to Apply Unless Otherwise
Specified.  As determined by the Board on the date of grant, each Option shall
be evidenced by an Option agreement (the "Option Agreement") that includes the
nontransferability provisions required by Section 10.2 hereof and specifies:
whether the Option is an Incentive Stock Option or a Nonstatutory Option; the
Option price; the duration of the Option; the number of shares of Stock to which
the Option applies; any vesting or exercisability restrictions which the Board
may impose; in the case of an Incentive Stock Option, a provision implementing
the $100,000 Limitation; and any other terms or conditions which the Board may
impose. All such terms and conditions shall be determined by the Board at the
time of grant of the Option.

  If not otherwise specified by the Board, the following terms and conditions
shall apply to Options granted under the Plan:

          (a) Term. The duration of the Option shall be ten (10) years from the
  date of grant.

          (b) Exercise of Option. Unless an Option is terminated as provided.
  hereunder, an Optionee may exercise his Option for up to, but not in excess
  of, the amounts of shares subject to the Option specified below, based on the
  Optionee's number of years of continuous service with the Company or a
  Subsidiary Corporation of the Company from the date on which the option is
  granted. In the case of an Optionee who is an Employee, continuous service
  shall mean continuous employment; in the case of an Optionee who is a
  Consultant, continuous service shall mean the continuous provision of
  consulting services. In applying said limitations, the amount of shares, if
  any, previously purchased by the Optionee under the Option shall be counted in
  determining the amount of shares the Optionee can purchase at any time. The
  Optionee may exercise his option in the following amounts:

          (i)   After one year of such continuous services for up to but not in
     excess of thirty-three and one-third percent (33 1/3%) of the shares
     originally subject to the Option;

          (ii)  After two years of such continuous services, for up to but not
     in excess of sixty-six and two-thirds percent (66 2/3%) of the shares
     originally subject to the Option; and

          (iii) At the expiration of the third year of such continuous services
     the Option may be exercised at any time and from time to time within its
     terms in whole or in part, but it shall not be exercisable after the
     expiration of ten (10) years from the date on which it was granted.

  The Board shall be free to specify terms and conditions other than those set
forth above, in its discretion.

  All Option Agreements shall incorporate the provisions of this Plan by
reference, with certain provisions to apply depending upon whether the Option
Agreement applies to an Incentive Stock Option or to a Nonstatutory Option.

  7.5 Option Price.  No Incentive Stock Option granted pursuant to this Plan
shall have an option price that is less than the Fair Market Value of Stock on
the date the Option is granted. Incentive Stock Options granted to Significant
Shareholders shall have an Option price of not less than 110 percent of the Fair
Market Value of Stock on the date of grant. The Option price for Nonstatutory
Options shall be established by the Board and shall not be less than eighty-five
percent (85%) of the Fair Market Value of Stock on the date this Option is
granted.

  7.6 Term of Options.  Each Option shall expire at such time as the Board shall
determine when it is granted, provided however that no Option shall be
exercisable later than the tenth anniversary date of its grant. By its terms, an
Incentive Stock Option granted to a Significant Shareholder shall not be
exercisable after five years from the date of grant.

  7.7 Exercise of Options.  Options granted under the Plan shall be exercisable
at such times and be subject to such restrictions and conditions as the Board
shall in each instance approve, which need not be the same for all Optionees.

                                       6
<PAGE>

  7.8 Payment.  Payment for all shares of Stock shall be made at the time that
an Option, or any part thereof, is exercised, and no shares shall be issued
until full payment therefor has been made. Payment shall be made (i) in cash, or
(ii) if acceptable to the Board, in Stock or in some other form; provided,
however, in the case of an Incentive Stock Option, that said other form of
payment does not prevent the Option from qualifying for treatment as an
"incentive stock option" within the meaning of the Code. Payment may also be
made, in the discretion of the Board, by delivery (including by FAX) to the
Company or its designated agent of an executed irrevocable option exercise form
together with irrevocable instructions to a broker-dealer to sell or margin a
sufficient portion of the shares and deliver the sale or margin loan proceeds
directly to the Company to pay for the exercise price.

                                 Article VIII.

                       Stock and Stockholder Privileges

  8.1 Issuance of Stock Certificates.  As soon as practicable after the receipt
of written notice and payment, the Company shall deliver to the Optionee or to a
nominee of the Optionee a certificate or certificates for the requisite number
of shares of Stock.

  8.2 Privileges of a Stockholder.  An Optionee or any other person entitled to
exercise an Option under this Plan shall not have stockholder privileges with
respect to any Stock covered by the Option until the date of issuance of a stock
certificate for such Stock.

                                  Article IX.

                     Termination of Employment or Services

  9.1 Death.  Unless provided otherwise for a Nonstatutory Option, if an
Optionee's employment in the case of an Employee, or provision of services as a
Consultant, in the case of a Consultant, terminates by reason of death, the
Option may thereafter be exercised at any time prior to the expiration date of
the Option or within 12 months after the date of such death, whichever period is
the shorter, by the person or persons entitled to do so under the Optionee's
will or, if the Optionee shall fail to make a testamentary disposition of an
Option or shall die intestate, the Optionee's legal representative or
representatives. The Option shall be exercisable only to the extent that such
Option was exercisable as of the date of death.

  9.2 Termination Other Than For Cause Or Due to Death.  Unless provided
otherwise for a Nonstatutory Option, in the event of an Optionee's termination
of employment, in the case of an Employee, or termination of the provision of
services as a Consultant, in the case of a Consultant, other than by reason of
death, the Optionee may exercise such portion of his Option as was exercisable
by him at the date of such termination (the "Termination Date") at any time
within three (3) months of the Termination Date; provided, however, that where
the Optionee is an Employee or Consultant, and is terminated due to disability
within the meaning of Code (S)422, he may exercise such portion of his option as
was exercisable by him on his Termination Date within one year of his
Termination Date. In any event, the Option cannot be exercised after the
expiration of the term of the Option. Options not exercised within the
applicable period specified above shall terminate.

  In the case of an Employee, a change of duties or position within the Company
or an assignment of employment in a Subsidiary Corporation or Parent Corporation
of the Company, if any, or from such a corporation to the Company, shall not be
considered a termination of employment for purposes of this Plan. The Option
Agreements may contain such provisions as the Board shall approve with reference
to the effect of approved leaves of absence upon termination of employment.

  9.3 Termination for Cause.  Unless provided otherwise for a Nonstatutory
Option, in the event of an Optionee's termination of employment, in the case of
an Employee, or termination of the provision of services as a Consultant, in the
case of a Consultant, which termination is by the Company or a Subsidiary
Corporation for cause, any Option or Options held by him under the Plan, to the
extent not exercised before such termination, shall forthwith terminate.

                                       7

                                  Article X.

                              Rights of Optionees

  10.1 Service.  Nothing in this Plan shall interfere with or limit in any way
the right of the Company or a Subsidiary Corporation to terminate any Employee's
employment, or any Consultant's services, at any time, nor confer upon any
Employee any right to continue in the employ of the Company or a Subsidiary
Corporation, or upon any Consultant any right to continue to provide services to
the Company or a Subsidiary Corporation.

  10.2 Nontransferability.  All Options granted under this Plan shall be
nontransferable by the Optionee, other than by will or the laws of descent and
distribution, and shall be exercisable during the Optionee's lifetime only by
the Optionee.

                                  Article XI.

               Optionee-Employee's Transfer or Leave of Absence

  11.1 Optionee-Employee's Transfer or Leave of Absence.  For Plan purposes:

        (a) A transfer of an Optionee who is an Employee from the Company to
Subsidiary Corporation or Parent Corporation, or from one such corporation to
another, or

        (b) a leave of absence for such an Optionee (i) which is duly authorized
in writing by the Company or a Subsidiary Corporation, and (ii) if the Optionee
holds an Incentive Stock Option, which qualifies under the applicable
regulations under the Code which apply in the case of Incentive Stock Options,
shall not be deemed a termination of employment. However, under no circumstances
may an Optionee exercise an Option during any leave of absence, unless
authorized by the Board.

                                 Article XII.

             Amendment, Modification, and Termination of the Plan

  12.1 Amendment, Modification, and Termination of the Plan.  The Board may at
any time terminate, and from time to time may amend or modify the Plan,
provided, however, that no amendment, modification, or termination of the Plan
shall in any manner adversely affect any outstanding Option under the Plan
without the consent of the Optionee holding the Option. Notwithstanding the
foregoing, however, the Board (unless its actions are approved or ratified by
the stockholders of the Company within twelve months of the date that the Board
amends the Plan) may not amend the Plan to:

        (a) increase the total number of shares of Stock issuable pursuant to
     Incentive Stock Options under the Plan, except as contemplated in Section
     5.3; or

        (b) change the class of employees eligible to receive Incentive Stock
     Options that may participate in the Plan.

                                 Article XIII.

                      Acquisition, Merger, or Liquidation

  13.1 Acquisition.  In the event that an Acquisition occurs with respect to the
Company, the Company shall have the right, but not the obligation, to cancel
Options outstanding as of the effective date of Acquisition, whether or not such
Options are then exercisable, in return for payment to the Optionees of an
amount equal to a reasonable estimate of an amount (hereinafter the "Spread")
equal to the difference between the net amount per share payable in the
Acquisition, or as a result

                                       8
<PAGE>

of the Acquisition, less the exercise price of the Option. In estimating the
Spread, appropriate adjustments to give effect to the existence of the Options
shall be made, such as deeming the Options to have been exercised, with the
Company receiving the exercise price payable thereunder, and treating the shares
receivable upon exercise of the options as being outstanding in determining the
net amount per share. For purposes of this section, an "Acquisition" shall mean
any transaction in which substantially all of the Company's assets are acquired
or in which a controlling amount of the Company's outstanding shares are
acquired, in each case by a single person or entity or an affiliated group of
persons and/or entities. For purposes of this Section a controlling amount shall
mean more than 50% of the issued and outstanding shares of stock of the Company.
The Company shall have such right regardless of how the Acquisition is
effectuated, whether by direct purchase, through a merger or similar corporate
transaction, or otherwise. In cases where the acquisition consists of the
acquisition of assets of the Company, the net amount per share shall be
calculated on the basis of the net amount receivable with respect to shares upon
a distribution and liquidation by the Company after giving effect to expenses
and charges, including but not limited to taxes, payable by the Company before
the liquidation can be completed.

  Where the Company does not exercise its right under this Section 13.1 the
remaining provisions of this Article XIII shall apply, to the extent applicable.

  13.2 Merger or Consolidation.  Subject to any required action by the
stockholders, if the Company shall be the surviving corporation in any merger or
consolidation, any Option granted hereunder shall pertain to and apply to the
securities to which a holder of the number of shares of Stock subject to the
Option would have been entitled in such merger or consolidation.

  13.3 Other Transactions.  A dissolution or a liquidation of the Company or a
merger and consolidation in which the Company is not the surviving corporation
shall cause every Option outstanding hereunder to terminate as of the effective
date of such dissolution, liquidation, merger or consolidation. However, the
Optionee either (i) shall be offered a firm commitment whereby the resulting or
surviving corporation in a merger or consolidation will tender to the Optionee
an option (the "Substitute Option") to purchase its shares on terms and
conditions both as to number of shares and otherwise, which will substantially
preserve to the Optionee the rights and benefits of the Option outstanding
hereunder granted by the Company, or (ii) shall have the right immediately prior
to such dissolution, liquidation, merger, or consolidation to exercise any
unexercised Options whether or not then exercisable, subject to the provisions
of this Plan. The Board shall have absolute and uncontrolled discretion to
determine whether the Optionee has been offered a firm commitment and whether
the tendered Substitute Option will substantially preserve to the Optionee the
rights and benefits of the Option outstanding hereunder. In any event, any
Substitute Option for an Incentive Stock Option shall comply with the
requirements of Code Section 424(a).

                                 Article XIV.

                            Securities Registration

  14.1 Securities Registration.  In the event that the Company shall deem it
necessary or desirable to register under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended,
or any other applicable statute, any Options or any Stock with respect to which
an Option may be or shall have been granted or exercised, or to qualify any such
Options or Stock under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, or any other
statute, then the Optionee shall cooperate with the Company and take such action
as is necessary to permit registration or qualification of such Options or
Stock.

  Unless the Company has determined that the following representation is
unnecessary, each person exercising an Option under the Plan may be required by
the Company, as a condition to the issuance of the shares pursuant to exercise
of the Option, to make a representation in writing (a) that he is acquiring such
shares for his own account for investment and not with a view to, or for sale in
connection with, the distribution of any part thereof, (b) that before any
transfer in connection with the resale of such shares, he will obtain the
written opinion of counsel for the Company, or other counsel acceptable to the
Company, that such shares may be transferred. The Company may also require that
the certificates representing such shares contain legends reflecting the
foregoing.

                                  Article XV.

                                       9
<PAGE>

                                Tax Withholding

  15.1 Tax Withholding.  Whenever shares of Stock are to be issued in
satisfaction of Options exercised under this Plan, the Company shall have the
power to require the recipient of the Stock to remit to the Company an amount
sufficient to satisfy federal, state, and local withholding tax requirements.

                                 Article XVI.

                                Indemnification

  16.1 Indemnification.  To the extent permitted by law, each person who is or
shall have been a member of the Board shall be indemnified and held harmless by
the Company against and from any loss, cost, liability, or expense that may be
imposed upon or reasonably incurred by him in connection with or resulting from
any claim, action, suit, or proceeding to which he may be a party or in which he
may be involved by reason of any action taken or failure to act under the Plan
and against and from any and all amounts paid by him in settlement thereof, with
the Company's approval, or paid by him in satisfaction of judgment in any such
action, suit, or proceeding against him, provided he shall give the Company an
opportunity, at its own expense, to handle and defend the same before he
undertakes to handle and defend it on his own behalf. The foregoing right of
indemnification shall not be exclusive of any other rights of indemnification to
which such persons may be entitled under the Company's articles of incorporation
or bylaws, as a matter of law, or otherwise, or any power that the Company or
any Subsidiary Corporation may have to indemnify them or hold them harmless.

                                 Article XVII.

                              Requirements of Law

  17.1 Requirements of Law.  The granting of Options and the issuance of shares
of Stock upon the exercise of an Option shall be subject to all applicable laws,
rules, and regulations, and to such approvals by any governmental agencies or
national securities exchanges as may be required.

  17.2 Governing Law.  The Plan, and all agreements hereunder, shall be
construed in accordance with and governed by the laws of the State of Georgia.

  17.3 Section 16 Compliance.  With respect to Section 16 Insiders and "highly
compensated" persons under Section 162(m) of the Code, transactions under this
Plan are intended to comply with all applicable conditions of Rule 16b-3 or its
successors under the Exchange Act and with Section 162(m) of the Code. To the
extent any provision of the Plan or action by the Board fails to so comply, it
shall be deemed void to the extent permitted by law and deemed advisable by the
Board. In addition, if necessary to comply with Rule 16b-3 with respect to any
grant of an Option hereunder, and in addition to any other vesting or holding
period specified hereunder or in an applicable Option Agreement, any Section 16
Insider acquiring an Option shall be required to hold either the Option or the
underlying shares of Stock obtained upon exercise of the Option for a minimum of
six months.

                                Article XVIII.

                            Effective Date of Plan

  18.1 Effective Date.  The Plan shall be effective on May 8, 2000, the
effective date of its adoption by the Board.

                                 Article XIX.

                             Compliance with Code

                                       10
<PAGE>

  19.1 Compliance with Code.  Incentive Stock Options granted hereunder are
intended to qualify as "incentive stock options" under Code (S) 422. If any
provision of this Plan is susceptible to more than one interpretation, such
interpretation shall be given thereto as is consistent with Incentive Stock
Options granted under this Plan being treated as "incentive stock options" under
the Code. In the event that the stockholders of the Company do not approve the
Plan by May 8, 2001, all Options granted pursuant to the Plan shall be deemed to
be Nonstatutory Options.

                                  Article XX.

                       No Obligation to Exercise Option.

  20.1 No Obligation to Exercise. The granting of an Option shall impose no
obligation upon the holder thereof to exercise such Option.

                                                                   Exhibit 10.11

                               AMENDMENT TO THE
                               ----------------
                       BUSINESS COLLABORATION AGREEMENT
                       --------------------------------

     This AMENDMENT TO THE BUSINESS COLLABORATION AGREEMENT ("Amendment"), dated
as of September 20, 2000 is made and entered into by and among (i) Halis, Inc.
("HALIS"), a Georgia corporation and (ii) HealthWatch, Inc. ("HealthWatch"), a
Minnesota corporation.

     WHEREAS, HALIS and HealthWatch have entered into that certain Business
Collaboration Agreement dated as of October 10, 1997 (the Agreement") to provide
both parties with access to the other party's software products; and

     WHEREAS, HALIS and HealthWatch both desire to extend the term of the
Agreement and adjust the royalty fees contained therein.

     THEREFORE, for good and valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency
of which hereby are acknowledged, the parties, intending to be legally bound, do
hereby agree as follows:

     1.   Section 2 of the Agreement shall be deleted in its entirety and
replaced with the following:

     "2.1 HealthWatch License. HALIS grants to HealthWatch a non-exclusive
          -------------------
     right to distribute, market, sub-license, and private label HALIS software
     products. HealthWatch agrees to pay HALIS, a $50,000 per month
     collaboration fee.  HealthWatch will share revenues received from such
     activities on a 60/40 basis, whereby 60% will be allocated to HealthWatch
     and 40% will be allocated to HALIS.  All collaboration fees paid to HALIS
     for the life of this agreement will be cumulated in the form of a credit to
     be applied to the revenue sharing amounts owed to HALIS by HealthWatch.
     Revenue sharing amounts will be determined on a quarterly basis, and any
     amount owed, net of the collaboration fee credits, will be paid to HALIS
     within 30 days after the conclusion of each quarter.  HALIS shall (i)
     provide support to HealthWatch for the HALIS software products and
     reasonable product enhancements as part of product release updates and (ii)
     accept and review input from HealthWatch with regard to reasonable product
     enhancement requests to be included in future product release updates.
     HealthWatch shall have the option to terminate its license granted under
     this Section 2.1 on or after October 1, 2001 upon 90 days prior written
     notice to Halis (provided all net revenue sharing fees are paid and
     current), in which event its obligation to pay the $50,000 monthly
     collaboration fee shall terminate.  Revenue sharing shall continue with
     respect to any sub-license previously granted by HealthWatch under this
     Agreement.  Previously paid collaboration fees shall continue to operate as
     a credit against amounts owed to HALIS.   HALIS shall continue to provide
     support required under this Agreement for all outstanding product licenses
     issued by HealthWatch after such termination.  However, should HealthWatch
     exercise its option to terminate the monthly collaboration fee, HALIS shall
     have the option to terminate its support obligations under this Section 2.1
     in exchange for waiving all unearned future revenue sharing payments due to
     HALIS under this Section 2.1.

     2.2. HALIS License. HealthWatch grants to HALIS a non-exclusive right to
          -------------
     market, distribute, sub-license and private label HealthWatch's information
     technology software. HALIS will share revenues received from such sales or
     sub-licensing of the HealthWatch software technology on a 60/40 basis,
     whereby 60% will be allocated to HALIS and 40% will be allocated to
     HealthWatch. The provisions of the Business Collaboration Agreement
     associated with this paragraph 2.2 will remain in effect for the term of
     the Agreement. All revenue sharing shall be paid to HealthWatch on a
     quarterly basis within 30 days after the conclusion of each quarter.
<PAGE>

     2.3  Set-Offs Permitted.  HealthWatch and HALIS both agree that either
          ------------------
     party shall be permitted to deduct any amounts payable under this Agreement
     and apply such payment to any undisputed amounts due and payable from the
     other party as a result of fees payable under this Agreement, cost sharing
     arrangements between the parties or any other similar arrangements."

     2.   Section 6 of the Agreement shall be deleted in its entirety and
replaced with the following:

     "6.  Term.  The term of this Agreement shall expire on September 20, 2005,
          ----
     and shall be automatically extended for additional one-year terms, unless
     terminated by  one of the parties by giving a written notice to the other
     party ninety days prior to the end of the original term or the additional
     one year renewal terms."

     3.   Except as modified by this Amendment, all terms and conditions of the
Agreement are hereby reaffirmed.

     IN WITNESS WHEREOF, the undersigned have executed this Amendment as of the
effective date mentioned above.

HEALTHWATCH, INC.                   HALIS, INC.
