Successful Migration Coincides with Sunrise Clinical Manager
Upgrade; Enables Hospital to Focus on Applications While Gaining System
Performance and Predictive IT Expenditures
Eclipsys Corporation® (NASDAQ:ECLP), The Outcomes Company®,
today announced that NewYork-Presbyterian Hospital
(NewYork-Presbyterian), one of the nation’s largest not-for-profit,
non-sectarian hospitals, has successfully migrated a significant portion
of its enterprise-wide information technology (IT) server processing and
storage infrastructure to Eclipsys’ Remote Hosting Services. Coinciding
with the migration of mission-critical applications to the Eclipsys
Technology Solutions Center in New Jersey, NewYork-Presbyterian also
upgraded to the latest version of the Sunrise Clinical Manager™ suite of
solutions in use at the Hospital’s five major medical centers.
“Electing to have a portion of our technology infrastructure hosted
offsite is cost effective and removes the burden of day-to-day
maintenance. This allows us to focus on making improvements to
applications that help our clinicians deliver high quality patient
care,” said Aurelia G. Boyer, senior vice president and chief
information officer, NewYork-Presbyterian Hospital. “Eclipsys has made
this migration seamless and cost-effective.”
High Level of System Availability and Predictive Expenditures
By opting to use Eclipsys’ Remote Hosting Services applications for
systems formerly housed within the Hospital, NewYork Presbyterian also
gains a level of system availability backed by the source of its
software, along with monitoring, reporting, disaster recovery and
response-time warranties for a predictable monthly service fee Remote
hosting is intended to reduce IT infrastructure expenditures and open up
valuable floor space currently occupied by hardware devoted to Eclipsys
within the Hospital’s internal data center.
NewYork-Presbyterian joins a growing number of hospitals that have
elected to outsource the hosting of a portion of their IT infrastructure
to Eclipsys. Currently 40 percent of the Eclipsys’ U.S.-based clients
rely upon its world-class, ISO 9001:2000-certified, 24/7 data center to
provide mission critical application performance, customer support,
security and disaster recovery.
