NOA Supports Eclipsys Sunrise Clinical Manager CPR System Activation at National Institutes of Health
August, 2004 NOA’s Cynthia Herold, MT (ASCP), Jeanie Eckmann, MT (ASCP) and Rod Walker, FACHE, FHFMA, of NEGLEY, OTT & ASSOCIATES, INC. participated in supporting a go-live activation for the Eclipsys Sunrise Clinical Manager CPR system at National Institutes of Health in Bethesda, Maryland. 

Subsequent to achieving advanced configuration certification from Eclipsys Corporation on the Sunrise Clinical Manager advanced clinical information system, NOA was engaged to participate in the go-live support as a sub-contracting consultant resource under Eclipsys.  This go-live encompassed a large scope for installing Sunrise Clinical Manager and included numerous modules for each of the inpatient and ambulatory clinical areas of NIH as follows: 

  • Orders and results

  • CPOE

  • Automated medication administration

  • Clinical documentation

  • Ancillary department processing

The activation was internally named by NIH as CRIS (clinical research information system) and the following statistics help depict the actual scope of the operational impact for NIH:

  • 1 acute care hospital (278 beds)

  • 12 outpatient clinics

  • 9 day hospitals

  • 5,000 employees using the Sunrise Clinical Manager system

  • 65,000 total employees
