Eclipsys Corporation announces the multiple superior outcomes its client organizations are achieving

To support healthcare organizations in making the appropriate technology decisions to maximize federal stimulus dollar opportunity, Eclipsys Corporation, The Outcomes Company, announced the multiple superior outcomes its client organizations are achieving today. With a client base that leads the industry in adoption of computerized physician order entry ( CPOE ), outperforms peers in composite performance across all Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS) Quality Measures and clinical information systems that dominate the Magnet Recognition Program® hospitals, Eclipsys offers an industry-differentiating ability to support healthcare providers in meeting the expected “meaningful use” objectives of the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act (ARRA). In addition, the company’s analytics technology provides a solid foundation to meet the expected more stringent and outcomes-focused ARRA requirements in 2013 and 2015.

A Client Base Ranked No. 1 in Meeting Composite CMS Quality Measures; Dominates Magnet Hospitals

In conducting a competitive analysis study of CMS Core Measures performance, data identified Eclipsys clients as ranking No. 1 in composite performance across all CMS Quality Measures. The study, which was based on publicly available data from HIMSS Analytics and the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services Hospital Compare site, also identified that Eclipsys clients ranked No. 1 in adherence to surgery CMS criteria, while statistically tying in adherence to heart failure, acute myocardial infarction (AMI) and pneumonia.

Industry CPOE Adoption Leadership

A key provision of ARRA is that healthcare organizations must drive the use of information technology to improve patient health status — not just demonstrate its existence or specific functionality. According to the KLAS CPOE Digest 2009: Meaningful Use and Physician Adoption report, deep adoption is pivotal to the overarching success of an electronic medical record (EMR) implementation. The same KLAS report concludes that Eclipsys leads the industry in total physicians live on CPOE and percentage of its client base using the system. Eclipsys also continues to have the highest physician satisfaction from clients who use its system, and on average, highly customizable ordering capabilities allow a physician to order faster than any other CPOE solution on the market.

ARRA Requirement to Use Clinical Data in More Meaningful Ways

Along with the existing rise in pay-for-performance and changes in reimbursements, ARRA is expected to require healthcare organizations to use patient data to drive insight and intelligence about how systems and practice patterns are affecting care quality and outcomes. With the addition of the Sunrise Clinical Analytics business intelligence solution to what is slated to be Eclipsys’ ARRA 2011 Certified EHR (electronic health record) Technology, Eclipsys plans to offer hospitals unparalleled capabilities to meet increasingly complex quality reporting requirements. Sunrise Clinical Analytics intelligently extracts and transforms data at the right time from Eclipsys’ Sunrise Clinical Manager electronic health record solution to automate quality reporting. Ease of access to information is delivered without disruption to clinical workflows. The analytics system is designed to support organizations in effectively tracking and measuring clinical performance and identifying how clinician adoption impacts patient outcomes and clinical costs.
