Eclipsys acute care EMR retains its No. 2 ranking in KLAS awards

Published on December 24, 2009 at 4:50 AM · No Comments

Eclipsys Corporation®, (NASDAQ:ECLP), The Outcomes Company®, today announced that the company’s focus on delivering an enterprise portfolio of high-quality health information software solutions is reflected in the findings of the 2009 “Top 20 Best in KLAS Award: Software and Professional Services” report (2009 Top 20 Best in KLAS Awards report). With a national spotlight on adoption of electronic medical records (EMRs), Eclipsys’ acute care EMR repeated its No. 2 ranking in its category, while the company’s integrated pharmacy solution debuted in the No. 4 spot within its segment. In addition, for the fourth straight year, Eclipsys’ integrated performance management solution, Sunrise EPSi™, received top honors in the Decision Support-Business market segment with a “Best in KLAS” award, and its Budgeting software was named a category leader for the third straight year.

“Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations.”

“We are honored to continue to be named number one by our clients as reported by KLAS," said Tim Rutledge, Eclipsys’ senior vice president of Enterprise Performance Management. “We remain focused on providing healthcare organizations with effective and efficient tools to build in best practices and help them in achieving their business goals. It is abundantly gratifying to continue to grow in market share while attaining distinguished client satisfaction awards.”

Company’s Enterprise Portfolio Reflected in Software Solution Rankings

Findings of the KLAS report also state that:

  • Eclipsys’ Sunrise Clinical ManagerTM once again ranked No. 2 in the Acute Care EMR market segment. In 2008, Eclipsys moved up to the second spot in this category. According to the KLAS CPOE Digest 2009: Meaningful Use and Physician Adoption report, deep adoption is pivotal to the overarching success of an EMR implementation. The same KLAS report concludes that Eclipsys leads the industry in total physicians live on computerized physician order entry (CPOE) and percentage of its client base using the system.
  • Eclipsys’ pharmacy solution, Sunrise Pharmacy™, which was introduced to the market only three years ago, debuted with a No. 4 ranking in its category. With the second highest percentage among the eight vendors qualified to be ranked in the pharmacy segment, 89 percent of Eclipsys clients would buy the integrated pharmacy solution again.
  • Eclipsys Sunrise Patient Financials™ saw the biggest year-over-year increase among fully-rated products in the Patient Accounting segment.

“Our software solution rankings reflect our company’s growth and maturity into a leading enterprise vendor of healthcare information technology,” said Jay Deady, Eclipsys’ executive vice president of Client Solutions. “Eclipsys offers a truly integrated clinical system, along with the highest CPOE adoption by physicians. Those distinctions, in combination with our second place EMR and a client base that outperforms the industry in composite performance across all CMS Quality Measures are clear proof points of our differentiating ability to help support providers in meeting the expected “meaningful use” objectives of the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act (ARRA) of 2009.”
