A comprehensive EPR platform for the entire continuum of care.
That’s Sunrise.
Why Sunrise?
The challenges facing today’s NHS Trusts are numerous. Today’s organisations are trying to advance healthcare delivery, stay at the forefront of innovation, teach the future of medicine and increase service lines and options improving clinician experience and providing quality, and achieving clinical quality. Your care teams need the right information at the right time, resulting in the right decisions.
Improve outcomes, patient safety, and reach digital maturity - all with a scalable electronic patient record as unique as your organisation.
Altera Sunrise Acute Care clinical wrap is a set of clinical technologies, including a robust electronic patient record (EPR) and services which work with existing Patient Administration Systems (PASs). It offers rapid deployment whilst building a foundation for sustainable digital growth and full clinical transformation. It is a low-risk, NHS-proven solution that helps improve outcomes and advance digital maturity, no matter where a Trust is on its transformation journey.
Helps organisations manage their operational efficiency, identifying and mitigating patient flow problems before they happen—days, weeks or even months in advance. It also stabilises nurse-to-patient staff levels and helps organisations adjust as demand and mix change.
Your clinicians need the right information to provide the best care. That’s why we integrated our Sunrise Surgical Care solution with Provation® iPro. A single patient record from pre-op to post-acute gives your clinicians real-time access to clinical, billing and administrative information – and supports fast, accurate documentation.
Harness your data, and you’ll transform your organisation. Sunrise Clinical Performance Manager gives you the tools to mine clinical data and transform it into actionable information – without complex query-writing skills. Our solution’s rules engines, predictive analytics, advanced data visualisation and customisable key performance indicators (which can be aligned with NHS mandates such as CQUIN) empower decision makers to monitor compliance and drive improvement.
In the dynamic emergency department environment, your clinicians require the right patient information, right away. Sunrise Emergency Care is a comprehensive emergency department information system proven to streamline care transitions and favourably impact clinical and financial outcomes. It supercharges the traditional tracking board with a powerful and intuitive interface, displaying order status at-a-glance, with fewer clicks necessary to access vital tasks and information.
Sunrise Knowledge-Based Medication Administration delivers advanced clinical decision support – with barcode technology – to help your nurses quickly and accurately verify the five rights of medication administration: right medication, right dose, right time, right route and right patient. This solution integrates with your trust’s pharmacy solution for electronic requesting of prescribed medication supplies.
Sunrise Air™ is a clinical application which links to the Altera EPR, providing workflows, patient data and the ability to perform actions all from a mobile device. The Sunrise Air™ app can be used on iOS, Android or Windows devices and uses the same user ID (via the Trust AD) to grant user access. Data available in the core EPR flows seamlessly to the mobile devices and vice-versa, making mobile working a genuine possibility for clinical staff. Users can update flowsheets (such as eOBSs), record the completion of tasks (including medication administration), review results and vital signs in dynamic graphical views and review all clinical documents recorded against the patient. Doctors and prescribers can also place diagnostic orders and prescribe medications, create and save notes to the patient’s record from the mobile app and read and send secure health messages.
Sunrise Surgical Care brings the power of Altera into your operating room. It connects every point, from pre-operative planning, through the perioperative suite, to postoperative care and beyond. Real-time updates keep your entire clinical and operational team in the loop, while everything is tracked on a single, continuous patient record.
Helps organisations manage their operational efficiency, identifying and mitigating patient flow problems before they happen—days, weeks or even months in advance. It also stabilises nurse-to-patient staff levels and helps organisations adjust as demand and mix change.
