Item 4.  Changes in Registrant's Certifying Accountant
         ---------------------------------------------

          NDCHealth Corporation announced in our Current Report on Form 8-K
filed March 27, 2002 that our Board of Directors and its Audit Committee had
decided to no longer engage Arthur Andersen LLP as our independent public
accountant and that we were conducting a review to select a new independent
public accountant to complete our fiscal 2002 audit.

          Following a thorough evaluation process, and on the recommendation of
its Audit Committee, the Board of Directors has appointed Ernst & Young LLP as
our independent public accountants.

          During our two most recent fiscal years and through the date of this
Form 8-K, we did not consult Ernst & Young with respect to the application of
accounting principles to a specified transaction, either completed or proposed,
or the type of audit opinion that might be rendered on our consolidated
financial statements, or any other matters or reportable events listed in Items
304(a)(2)(i) and (ii) of Regulation S-K.
