Eclipsys Corp. announces that Lahey Clinic has signed an agreement to implement a range of Eclipsys Sunrise Enterprise clinical solutions to create an enterprise-wide EMR

Eclipsys Corp. announced that Lahey Clinic, a physician-led, nonprofit healthcare organization, has signed an agreement to implement a range of Eclipsys Sunrise Enterprise clinical solutions to create an enterprise-wide electronic medical record (EMR)

The EMR project involves Lahey Clinic's two acute care medical centers and will establish an interoperable platform to leverage a prior investment in an ambulatory EMR solution for Lahey's outpatient settings. By implementing an integrated inpatient-ambulatory EMR, Lahey Clinic will create a flow of patient information across facilities to support continuity of care and enhanced clinical decision making in the physician office, clinic and hospital care settings.

"We sought a partner that could provide superior clinical solutions, clinical content, and a shared vision for interoperability," said Sandy Kurtz, MD, COO, Lahey Clinic. "Eclipsys demonstrated to us that they would be the best partner to collaborate with us in utilizing technology to support high quality and safe patient care across our campus, as well as enhancing our institution's acclaimed high acuity service areas. In addition, Eclipsys' willingness and technical capability to leverage existing Lahey technology solutions was attractive to us. We look forward to a successful implementation and fully taking advantage of this opportunity for significant clinical and operational benefits."

Lahey Clinic said it will implement Eclipsys' Sunrise Acute Care, Sunrise Pharmacy and Knowledge-Based Charting solutions to establish an EMR with clinical decision support. All of these solutions reside on the Eclipsys XA extended architecture, an open and flexible technology platform that enables healthcare providers to share information securely among disparate systems both inside and outside of the organization. In combination, the new clinical solutions will provide Lahey Clinic clinicians with integrated clinical workflows to help improve clinical outcomes and turnaround time. New tools include e-prescribing and orders reconciliation capabilities, along with a shared enterprise-wide view of the patient's latest administered medications, lab and test results.
