Sunrise Community Plus is based on Eclipsys' proven track record of success in clinician adoption and features the ease of use and workflow- enhancing design of Eclipsys systems, particularly order entry and clinical documentation. The suite of Sunrise advanced clinical software within the Sunrise Community Plus package provides clinical decision support at the point of decision making, end-to-end medication management from the physician to the pharmacist and the nurse, plus many other cost-effective clinical and financial workflow solutions tailored to the specific needs of community hospitals. Sunrise Community Plus is designed to help community healthcare organizations reduce costs, increase efficiency and maximize resources and reimbursements just a few months after deployment by utilizing a proven implementation process.
"Eclipsys is proud that United Regional Health Care System has chosen our Sunrise advanced clinical and financial solutions as part of our specialized Sunrise Community Plus program, which has been designed with the specific challenges, needs and resources of community hospitals in mind," said R. Andrew Eckert, Eclipsys president and chief executive officer. "As the foundation of the healthcare organization's hospital information system project, Sunrise Community Plus will connect the enterprise and improve patient care and safety outcomes while enhancing revenue cycle management capabilities."
Expected Improvements
The Eclipsys Sunrise solutions were selected by a multi-disciplinary Information Technology Selection Team at URHCS after literally thousands of hours of evaluating numerous healthcare information systems and vendors.
"Our Information Technology Selection Team chose Eclipsys Sunrise solutions because its advanced clinical documentation system, integrated with a financial package, would provide the fluid, comprehensive system from patient check-in to patient dismissal that we need," said Nancy Townley, RN, MSN, CNAA, executive vice president of Operations. "The new information system will foster more consistent and complete communication among our staff to help them function more efficiently, resulting in enhanced patient safety and improved documentation. In addition, URHCS will benefit from a robust IT environment with fully integrated financial applications, improved reliability of systems, and enhanced flexibility for future IT growth."
Existing clinical and financial systems at URHCS will be replaced by Eclipsys solutions in the areas of admission/discharge/transfer (ADT)/patient registration/patient tracking/master person index (MPI), patient scheduling, patient accounting, computerized physician order entry (CPOE), remote access for physicians, electronic medical record (EMR), clinical decision support, financial decision support, health information management (abstracting, document image management, point-of-service image capture, release of information, deficiency management with chart completion and chart tracking), nursing documentation, emergency department, laboratory and blood bank, radiology, and pharmacy.
New capabilities will also be introduced such as a centralized EMR, interdisciplinary documentation, medication bar-coding and a computerized radiology system. The Eclipsys solutions include a core set of standardized, pre-configured order sets, discharge instructions, templates for clinical documentation, evidence-based clinical practice guidelines and a rules engine with advanced alerts. As a result, the Eclipsys solution helps significantly enhance the quality and safety of patient care, while improving clinician efficiencies so they can spend more time with patients.
Implementation Begins
The three-phase implementation began in January 2006 and will be completed over the next three to five years. The first phase of the project will focus on transformation of the financial management system at URHCS, while phase two will focus on Sunrise core clinical capabilities. The final phase of the project will focus on clinical transformation with the deployment of Sunrise advanced clinicals, as well as supporting content such as Sunrise SKOLAR MD Premium, powered by Wolters Kluwer Health.
"Our investment in Eclipsys advanced clinical solutions is vital to our organization as we prepare for the future of healthcare," Townley said. "This is not only a huge investment in our infrastructure and operations, but also in our patients as we embrace healthcare information technology that raises the bar for excellence in the quality of patient care and clinical outcomes. It's an exciting time for us."
