NEGLEY, OTT & ASSOCIATES, INC. is a clinical systems consulting company with certification on multiple CPR systems and is rapidly moving forward towards aligning with Eclipsys Corporation, (NASDAQ: ECLP) as a business partner for implementation consulting and support with the Sunrise Clinical Manager 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.

NOA was formed in 1992 by IS professionals with a desire to provide hospital information system and clinical professionals with best demonstrated practices in conjunction with implementing clinical software systems that focus on patient care.  The issues, personalities, opportunities, challenges and solutions required by clinical system implementations require the ability to meld sensitivity to clinical processes with the realities of computing and patient care delivery.  To date, NOA has provided services to over 60 hospitals installing clinical systems using an approach that stresses both outcomes and knowledge transfer. Supporting so many users, both during and after their installation, gives NOA the opportunity to understand the issues that make clinical systems work, and those that don't.
