More Than 2,000 Users Simultaneously Activated on Integrated Suite of Solutions;Milestone Supports Hospitals Goal to Establish an Enterprise-Wide ElectronicHealthcare EnvironmentATLANTA(Business Wire)Eclipsys Corporation (NASDAQ: ECLP), The Outcomes Company, today announcedthat United Regional Health Care System (United Regional) a comprehensivecardiac care facility and Level III trauma center in Wichita Falls, TX, hassuccessfully activated a wide range of Eclipsys clinical solutions. "We had been struggling with separate clinical,pharmacy and other departmental solutions that were at end of life. With theEclipsys solution suite, all our information is now tightly integrated,automated and available in one location." The "big bang" activation was the culmination of months of collaboration amongthe executive team at United Regional, physician champions and the Eclipsysimplementation team. Six hours after legacy systems were deactivated, 100percent of United Regionals nurses and physicians were utilizing the Eclipsyssystem to enter all orders and retrieve results.

In combination, these solutions areproviding unified views of up-to-date clinical data to better coordinate care. "The success was due in large part to the dedication of theEclipsys activation team, the United Regional implementation team, as well asthe unwavering support from our executive team who championed it from beginningto end." As part of its ongoing initiative to give all clinicians real-time access to thesame up-to-date patient information, United Regional will use Sunrise Acute Carefor all orders and results, patient task lists, as well as an electronicmedication administration record (eMAR) that provides an overall snapshot ofmedications administered throughout the continuum of care. United Regional alsowill use Sunrise Acute Cares computerized physician order entry (CPOE) solutionin its ED, with plans to extend it throughout the enterprise. With Sunrise Emergency Care, nurses and other caregivers in emergency rooms areable to electronically document care while simultaneously providing inpatientclinicians access to patient information for a seamless and timelier workflow.For ED patients admitted to the hospital, the electronic medical record (EMR)will continue to be expanded with patient data throughout the patientsinpatient stay, enabling caregivers to make more informed care decisions, whileeliminating redundant testing and questioning of the patient and the emergencycare team.
