NIH deploys Eclipsys Sunrise Surgical Manager

The National Institutes of Health (NIH) will implement Eclipsys Corp.'s Sunrise Surgical Manager to provide clinical support for clinicians as they perform mission-critical surgical procedures.     
   
The selection of Eclipsys' OR-based system follows the implementation and activation in August of the company's Sunrise Clinical Manager's order entry, clinical documentation and customized pharmacy dispensing systems at NIH's Clinical Center.
   
Sunrise Surgical Manager integrates the surgery department with the healthcare organization and provides clinical decision support for clinicians throughout the surgical processes. Real-time access to the patient record and automated scheduling tools streamline scheduling. Productivity-enhancing features include administrative support, perioperative screening, case documentation for nursing and anesthesia, physiological monitor connectivity, perioperative workflow management, clinical data repository access, nursing support and knowledge-based orders.
