Eclipsys integrates patient portal with Microsoft's consumer health platform

Healthcare IT developer Eclipsys will integrate its Sunrise Patient Portal with HealthVault, Microsoft's newly-launched consumer health platform.

HealthVault enables an environment of online services for people to privately store and share their health information, according to Boca Raton, Fla.-based Eclipsys.
