Eclipsys Sunrise Patient Portal to Integrate Microsoft's New HealthVault to Help Healthcare Providers Better Connect with Patients
Eclipsys Solution to Utilize Microsoft's New Consumer Health Platform to Help Healthcare Organizations Deliver More Patient-Centric Care
BOCA RATON, Fla., Oct. 4 / - Eclipsys Corporation®, The Outcomes Company®, (NASDAQ:ECLP), today announced it will integrate Sunrise Patient Portal(TM) with HealthVault, Microsoft's newly launched consumer health platform. HealthVault enables an environment of new online services so people can securely and privately store and share their health information with whomever they choose, putting them in control of information on their health and wellness.
Sunrise Patient Portal enables patient access to information stored within Eclipsys clinical information solutions, such as the electronic medical record and scheduled appointments. Healthcare organizations using Sunrise Patient Portal will be able to interact with patient's using HealthVault as their personal health record.
Sunrise Patient Portal will enable clinicians and staff to securely pull information from HealthVault into the healthcare organization's electronic medical record as shared by the patient, such as an address change or an over- the-counter medication the patient is taking as well as push out suggested clinical pathways and other important information to the patient. Patients with chronic conditions that require long-term monitoring can use Sunrise Patient Portal to record ongoing health indicators, such as blood-glucose levels, pain management or blood pressure. This allows physicians to access information regarding their patients' conditions from their offices or homes.
"We are pleased that Eclipsys is supporting HealthVault within its Sunrise clinical information solutions," said Peter Neupert, corporate vice president, Health Solutions Group, Microsoft Corporation. "As one of the first healthcare information technology companies integrating with HealthVault, Eclipsys has demonstrated an understanding of the types of solutions healthcare organizations need to help them better manage care in today's more patient-centric delivery environment."
Sunrise Patient Portal is integrated with Eclipsys Sunrise Clinical Manager, Sunrise Access Management(TM) and Sunrise Patient Financials(TM) to provide an extensive portal framework that allows healthcare organizations to customize and extend the application through third party web tools and applications.
"Eclipsys is committed to providing the most advanced clinical information solutions on the market, which is why we build our solutions on Microsoft technologies and are eager to embrace new innovations such as HealthVault," said John Gomez, Eclipsys executive vice president, chief technology strategy officer. "As more and more care delivery moves outside the hospital and into the patient's home, it is critical that healthcare organizations provide solutions that make care more accessible and help patients better manage their own health. By incorporating HealthVault into Sunrise Patient Portal, we can provide our clients a modern solution that will help them better connect with their patients to help improve both quality of care delivery and patient satisfaction outcomes."
Eclipsys will discuss this initiative in more detail at the Eclipsys User Network, taking next week place in Orlando, FL from October 7-10.
