Clinical Documentation

Sunrise Knowledge-Based Charting™ from Eclipsys is an innovative clinical documentation solution that transforms healthcare practice at the point of care by integrating evidence-based knowledge into daily clinical processes. It is a fully integrated component of the Sunrise Clinical Manager™ clinical information solution.

Bringing in more than 190 evidence-based, interdisciplinary clinical practice guidelines (CPGs) developed and maintained by the Clinical Practice Model Resource Center, part of the leading healthcare information publisher Elsevier, Sunrise Knowledge-Based Charting supports nurses and allied health providers in decision-making and assessments as they document each patient encounter. The system evaluates potential changes in patient status, conducting automatic screenings to alert clinicians to conditions that make pressure ulcer risk, venous thromboembolism (VTE), fall risks, tuberculosis (TB) risk, stroke and other complications a possibility.

Driving standardized care, while accommodating individualized approaches

Armed with diagnostic-specific knowledge, clinicians can better coordinate care and make more informed decisions based on identified interventions that have been proven to lead to the best possible patient care outcomes.

Clinicians use standardized documentation integrated with the electronic health record (EHR) to reduce variability of care and support patient safety, but can also capture individualized data in a plan of care that is customized for each patient and is seamlessly integrated into the clinical workflow. Customizable flowsheets, created within the context of a patient’s individual needs, include vital signs, plan of care, assessment and interventions, education and outcome records, and guideline evaluations, driving coordinated care and supporting safe patient hand-offs.

Sunrise Knowledge-Based Charting helps hospitals meet Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS) core measure standards for heart attack, heart failure, pneumonia and surgical, as well as the American Nurses Credentialing Center (ANCC) Magnet Recognition benchmarks and standards for other compliance programs.

Clinical Documentation
The beauty of the practice guidelines is that they quickly remind nurses how much they do know and provide that extra information they may not recall in the moment. And that is so powerful to be able to ease the burden. It helps you feel like you're not alone.
