Eclipsys to Debut Sunrise Enterprise at HIMSS08

Eclipsys Corporation® (NASDAQ:ECLP), The Outcomes Company®, will be joined by clients and partners at the Healthcare Information Management and Systems Society Annual Conference & Exposition, HIMSS08 (booth #2063) in debuting Sunrise Enterprise™, a suite of solutions that help healthcare organizations improve clinical, financial and operational outcomes. Eclipsys will also be demonstrating its support for and integration with Microsoft® HealthVault™, a free Web-based platform that enables patients to collect, store and share health information with hospitals and physicians to help increase efficiency, reduce errors, and improve care. Sunrise Enterprise includes release 5.0 of Sunrise Clinical Manager™ and Sunrise Access Manager™, which is now available on the Eclipsys XA™ extended architecture. With Sunrise Enterprise, healthcare organizations have more flexibility than ever before to drive outcome improvements the moment a patient enters the enterprise, before the care encounter begins. Healthcare organizations can also use Sunrise Enterprise to better manage the business of healthcare and help improve financial performance by delivering cleaner claims, reducing days in accounts receivable, increasing cash flow and enhancing patient services. "Two key success factors in improving clinical and financial outcomes are the ability to integrate operations across the entire healthcare enterprise and the ability to drive high levels of physician adoption,” said R. Andrew Eckert, Eclipsys president and chief executive officer. "This year again, our HIMSS08 presence will focus heavily on our clients and the exceptional outcomes they have achieved using our Sunrise Enterprise solutions.” Integrating Clinical and Financial Operations Eclipsys will also demonstrate how Sunrise Access Manager helps healthcare organizations to integrate clinical and financial operations. The enhanced registration and scheduling capabilities of Sunrise Enterprise provide specific insurance functionality to generate and receive scheduling transactions for easier integration with other systems, new booking sequences, advanced conflict checking and improved workflow with registration. The solution also includes eligibility checking to verify coverage and benefits before care is delivered, along with smoother navigation, integration with third-party master patient indexes and generation of billing codes from registration data. Enterprise Order Reconciliation Helps Make Medication Process Safer With the Joint Commission focus on medication reconciliation as a National Patient Safety Goal to reduce preventable medication errors, Sunrise Enterprise enables healthcare providers to go beyond medication reconciliation to improve patient safety throughout the care process. The new orders reconciliation capability allows caregivers to reconcile all orders related to the patient’s care at all handoffs between caregivers and units, as well as at admission and discharge. New Capabilities to Help Provide Exceptional Physician Experience Sunrise Enterprise includes many advanced functions that improve communication between members of the interdisciplinary care team, enhance usability and facilitate more rapid physician adoption and superior outcomes. For example, the solution includes a portal framework for improved communications with clinicians and patients at home and other locations outside of the organization. Sunrise Clinician Portal™, an integrated module of Sunrise Acute Care, allows anytime, anywhere web access to the patient record in an easy-to-use user interface. A physician can review the patient chart and write orders using the same personal preferences available in the hospital view. Sunrise Enterprise also includes clinical documentation that is personalized to the caregiver's role, and designed to reflect how clinicians think and process information, creating greater efficiency and increased clinician satisfaction. "Eclipsys takes pride in our position as the industry leader in physician adoption of clinical information solutions,” said Jay Deady, Eclipsys executive vice president, Client Solutions. "Sunrise Enterprise includes new capabilities that enable organizations to more easily achieve physician engagement, quality and adoption. The best way to move our industry forward is to demonstrate the value of health information technology in driving superior outcomes and physician adoption is essential to accomplishing this goal.” Microsoft HealthVault Integration Sunrise Patient Portal™ enables patients to access their personal health information stored within Eclipsys clinical information solutions and share that information using Microsoft HealthVault. Clinicians and staff can securely pull patient-supplied information shared by the patient from HealthVault into their organization’s electronic medical record and use HealthVault to communicate suggested clinical pathways and other important information back to the patient. Patients with chronic conditions that require long-term monitoring can also use Sunrise Patient Portal to record ongoing health indicators, such as blood-glucose levels, pain management or blood pressure data, and make that data available to providers via HealthVault.
