September 2007 – Phoenix Children’s Hospital (PCH) project team successfully implemented the second activation as part of a four-phased project plan to implement clinical documentation using NOA’s staff augmentation consulting support.  PCH had previously engaged NOA to provide project management and design/configuration support via NOA’s staff-augmentation services.  After a successful initial deployment in an earlier phase of the project, PCH recently brought live additional units to further deploy the automated clinical documentation functionality designed within the Eclipsys Sunrise Clinical Manager system which includes both vital signs and I & O flow sheets.  This second phase of the activations was a big success just like the initial phase due to dedication and product expertise existing amongst both NOA’s staff augmentation resources as well as PCH’s project team and super-users.  NOA’s Jeanie Eckmann, MT (ASCP) was the managing consultant resource on this project while Pelvia Woods, RN, provided additional product expertise for clinical documentation and Clinical Manager’s Sunrise Knowledge-Based Charting™ integrated, interdisciplinary clinical documentation solution.

Over the past year, NOA has worked side by side with the PCH project team in order to provide clinical systems consulting support to Phoenix Children’s Hospital. The engagement involved providing support as a member of the project team in a staff- augmentation capacity in order to facilitate in the transfer of knowledge and best-demonstrated-practices to the hospital’s internal project team.

Congratulations to Phoenix Children’s Hospital and NOA's clinical consultants for yet another successful activation phase that leverages NOA's best-demonstrated-practices with clinical computing using the Eclipsys Sunrise Clinical Manager system.
