Eclipsys Sunrise Ambulatory Care

Sunrise Ambulatory Care™ from Eclipsys enables outpatient physicians to more efficiently coordinate care for their patients from setting to setting while streamlining the administrative functions of their practices.

An integral part of a health system’s Sunrise Clinical Manager™ clinical information solution, Sunrise Ambulatory Care shares an electronic health record (EHR) system with the health system’s inpatient enterprise systems. Physicians can more effectively manage the complex medical needs of patients who require ongoing care in multiple care settings, providing the ability to focus on wellness and proactive chronic disease management for improved patient care outcomes.

Intelligent, connected outpatient care

Sunrise Ambulatory Care features customizable, user-friendly documentation templates allowing physicians to quickly and completely document each patient encounter. The system automatically checks orders against a patient’s information in the EHR to ensure accuracy and safety, and validate medical-necessity guidelines from the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid (CMS) — maximizing electronic health record benefits.

Embedded connectivity helps outpatient physicians expand their knowledge and support as they manage their patients’ conditions, while speeding the exchange of information and communication with pharmacies and payers — a key component to achieving meaningful use of EHR. In addition,
e-prescribing, using the Eclipsys Prescription Writer, is integrated with the system’s orders reconciliation, providing a patient’s medication list at admission as well as clinical decision support at discharge.

Sunrise Ambulatory Care also features:

• Clinical decision support, leveraging rich, complex clinical guidelines from leading healthcare content providers, that intelligently compares best practices against real-time patient information to alert physicians and promote consistent standards.
• Wellness & Immunization Manager that triggers reminders for upcoming, due or overdue patient wellness events, such as blood pressure checks and cholesterol screenings, based on CMS recommendations.
• Web-based practice management and medical billing software providing claims submission, eligibility verification, payment posting and denial management.
• Evaluation and management (E&M) coding using an automated tool that recommends codes based on clinical documentation, and allows clinicians to adjust codes based on their professional judgment.
• Secure health messaging allowing physicians to connect with their patients through a secure email and healthcare inbox system and providing support for managing referrals, phone calls and other communication functions.
