Surgery

Sunrise Surgery™ from Eclipsys, powered by Surgical Information Systems (SIS), is a comprehensive perioperative information system that manages a hospital’s operating room (OR) from end-to-end, from smart scheduling to clinical documentation to financial administration, supply management and analytics reporting.

Designed to work seamlessly with a hospital’s Sunrise Clinical Manager™ clinical information solution or as a standalone system, Sunrise Surgery allows clinicians to build a complete perioperative record as part of the integrated electronic health record system (EHR). The system captures nursing assessments, anesthesia record, medications given during surgery, monitor feeds, vital signs, and post-surgery data such as recovery scores, criteria-based discharges, and pain-score calculations. The entire care team from across the enterprise can access and use this data to improve care as the patient progresses through the health system care delivery process.

Perioperative Care: A High-Profile Part of the Hospital

A perioperative department on average generates around 70% of a hospital’s revenue. It is a high-profile center of care that faces added scrutiny. From ensuring cases start on time, to meeting Surgical Care Improvement Project (SCIP) initiatives, to delivering a proper charge, Sunrise Surgery helps OR departments meet the high standards of operational efficiency and safety, and improve patient care outcomes.

The system’s scheduling tools provide full visibility into room and equipment availability, clinicians’ schedules and individual patient needs, allowing department administrative staff to coordinate the availability of high-demand equipment in a few clicks, without endless phone calls. Sunrise Surgery additionally automates surgery charge capture with a sophisticated, rules-based charging tool that analyzes and recovers lost or missed charges, further freeing administrative staff from manual tracking.

Other features of Sunrise Surgery include:

• Perioperative nurse documentation that provides customizable screens for charting patient status and case metrics as part of the patient’s electronic health record. The documentation tool supports Perioperative Nursing Data Sets from the Association of Perioperative Registered Nurses (AORN).
• An anesthesia information system that provides real-time device interfacing with approximately 250 different kinds of devices, automatically recording and displaying data from the devices in customizable views. The system lets anesthesiologists quickly assess and document a patient’s condition, review procedures and record consent.
• Perioperative analytics capture cumulative and discreet data that helps departments examine outcomes against perioperative and surgical standards and by procedure and surgeon looking for opportunities to improve.
• Inventory control helps OR departments keep tabs on surgical material supply, reduce the amount of wasted supplies and document materials used for reimbursement.
• SIS Trax, a tissue and implant tracking system, enables organizations to track, tissues and implants from acquisition to implantation. Flexible enough to accommodate the key information needed to ensure a safe and effective use.
