NOA Supports Eclipsys Sunrise™ CPR System Activation at Johns Hopkins Hospital for Psychiatric Services
April, 2005 – NOA’s Cynthia Herold, MT (ASCP) of NEGLEY, OTT & ASSOCIATES, INC. participated in supporting a go-live activation for the Eclipsys Sunrise Clinical Manager™ CPR system at the John Hopkins Hospital in Baltimore, Maryland. 

Subsequent to achieving advanced configuration certification from Eclipsys Corporation on the Sunrise Clinical Manager CPR system, NOA was engaged to participate in the go-live support as a sub-contracting consultant resource under the Eclipsys Corporation. The primary scope of the go-live activation was for deploying the following areas of automation:

  • Physician on-line order entry in patient care areas for psychiatric services

  • Nursing electronic (on-line) order review

  • Medication Administration Record (MAR) documentation

  • Automation of pharmacy department processes

  • Automation of lab order communication

Congratulations to John Hopkins and Eclipsys for a successful activation and continued success at demonstrating quality of care through leveraging advanced clinical integration of information via automation with a CPR system. 

NEGLEY, OTT & ASSOCIATES, INC. is a clinical systems consulting company with certification on multiple CPR systems and is rapidly moving forward towards aligning with the Eclipsys Corporation®, (NASDAQ: ECLP), The Outcomes Company®, as a business partner for implementation consulting and support with the SunriseXA clinical system product line.  The business partner agreement between NOA and Eclipsys represents a strategic initiative which will leverage NOA’s clinical system expertise in improving care delivery workflow processes by using best demonstrated practices.

 

“The sub-contracting engagement at John Hopkins Hospital is an example of how NOA and Eclipsys are leveraging our combined strengths and expertise for the benefit of the customers and ultimately benefiting the patients receiving care.  This has been another positive step towards the alignment of NOA with Eclipsys for delivering best demonstrated-practices expertise to the implementation process for the Eclipsys SunriseXA product line.”
