February 25 2015 - 10:15AM
Allscripts (Nasdaq:MDRX) client St. Clair Hospital (Mt. Lebanon,
Pa.) received the 2014 HIMSS Enterprise Davies Award for its
success in improving patient outcomes and its financial results
through the use of health information technology.
St. Clair Hospital – an independent, 328-bed facility with
nearly 3,000 physicians and staff – uses the Allscripts Sunrise
platform to help deliver care to more than 500,000 patients in
southwestern Pennsylvania. Since implementation, St. Clair has made
strides in treating its diabetic patient population and has focused
efforts on healthcare infection prevention and administering
pneumonia vaccinations. It has also achieved greater patient flow
in its emergency department, reducing average waiting room time
from 49 to 4 minutes.
"Allscripts Sunrise Acute Care has helped us to provide safe,
high-quality healthcare to our patient population across our main
campus and multiple outpatient centers," St. Clair Hospital Vice
President and Chief Information Officer Richard J. Schaeffer said.
"Our staff used the platform to address the healthcare needs of our
community, and with that focus improved our patients' outcomes and
overall experience. Allscripts has been a valued partner in our
strategy to invest in health information technology to better serve
our patients with effective, innovative methods."
Allscripts Sunrise Acute Care's open, customizable platform
helped St. Clair Hospital to:
- Generate net revenue improvements
- Use innovative bar code administration to prevent more than
1,100 avoidable medication errors per year
- Develop a new Anti-Infective Auto-Scheduling Decision Tree
workflow that ensures that the optimal start time is included for
IV medication orders.
"This prestigious award celebrates St. Clair Hospital's
outstanding achievements in using health information technology to
improve the care of its patients," Allscripts President and Chief
Executive Officer Paul M. Black said. "The recognition puts a
spotlight on the vision and innovation of the organization's
dedicated physicians and staff."
