Patient Flow

From the moment a patient arrives at the hospital to the point of discharge and beyond, Sunrise Patient Flow™ gives hospitals total management and visibility of patients’ movements throughout the enterprise. Hospital management can easily identify bottlenecks and operational constraints and better coordinate resources to optimize hospital patient flow.

Exclusively endorsed by the American Hospital Association for bed management and patient throughput solutions, Sunrise Patient Flow is an enterprise performance system that addresses each of the critical components of hospital patient flow. The solution provides enterprise-wide transparency and control over the flow process: from a patient’s arrival in the ED or admissions, to patient placement and care delivery throughout hospital departments, to well-coordinated discharge planning and fast bed turnover. Real-time business process management and intelligent performance reporting enable managers to make instant adjustments and decisions to optimize flow and facilitate continuous system improvement.

Increasing accountability through communication and workflow

Sunrise Patient Flow is the only patient flow solution on the market that incorporates real-time electronic communications and automated workflow coupled with clinical and operational visibility in a single system. The solution works seamlessly with the hospital’s admissions/discharge/transfer (ADT) and clinical information solutions, including the Sunrise Clinical Manager™ and other vendors’ enterprise health information systems.

Therefore, each person involved in the hospital patient flow process, from clinicians and bed managers to housekeepers and transport, knows exactly what is happening and what must happen next. The solution helps to expedite administrative and clinical tasks more efficiently and accurately for faster turnaround and more optimized resources.

The Sunrise Patient Flow platform leverages the latest Microsoft .NET, WPF, and SQL Server technologies to facilitate rapid and flexible client deployments as well as significant usability advantages. The patient flow solutions are part of Eclipsys’ Enterprise Performance Management™ solution suite.
