Holy Spirit Health System Successfully Activates Eclipsys Sunrise Clinical Essentials in Just Ten Months

Posted on: Monday, 25 February 2008, 18:00 CST

Eclipsys Corporation(R), (NASDAQ:ECLP), The Outcomes Company(R), today announced that Holy Spirit Health System, a 332-bed system located in Camp Hill, PA, successfully activated Eclipsys Sunrise Clinical Essentials in just ten months. In addition to completing the project under budget, Holy Spirit Health System took advantage of Sunrise Clinical Essentials preconfigured software and pre-defined implementation methodology to complete the activation ahead of schedule.

Sunrise Clinical Essentials connects Holy Spirit Health System's clinicians involved in a patient's care, providing each team member with an up-to-date electronic health record. This helps Holy Spirit Health System's clinicians make informed, timely decisions and deliver integrated care throughout the course of the patient's care.

"Our rapid implementation of Sunrise Clinical Essentials allowed us to quickly deploy tools to our clinicians to help them provide more efficient care, while also leveling the playing field with our regional competition more quickly than we imagined," said Edith Dees, chief information officer, Holy Spirit Health System. "The implementation went very smoothly and Eclipsys professional services provided tremendous support throughout the project, as we met all of our goals on time and under budget."

Sunrise Clinical Essentials is remote hosted by Eclipsys enabling Holy Spirit Health System to fully meet its information technology needs and complements its state-of-the-art infrastructure.

"Holy Spirit Health System's organizational commitment to this project and exceptional team were critical to helping us get Sunrise Clinical Essentials up and running so quickly," said Jay Deady, Eclipsys executive vice president of Client Solutions at Eclipsys. "As we begin to aggressively market the solution, we look forward to leveraging our success with this prescriptive delivery approach to help other hospitals achieve similar results with Sunrise Clinical Essentials."

With the activation of Sunrise Clinical Essentials completed, Holy Spirit Health System is focused on documenting how the system can help them achieve measurable outcome improvements.

For a demonstration of how Sunrise Clinical Essentials helps healthcare organizations achieve rapid time to value, please visit Eclipsys (booth #2063) at the Healthcare Information Management and Systems Society Annual Conference & Exposition, HIMSS08, taking place from February 24-28 at Orlando's Orange County Convention Center.
