Springhill Medical Center Achieves HIMSS EMRAM Stage 7
(Thomson Reuters ONE) -
Allscripts Sunrise(TM) Helps Earn Highest Level of Electronic Medical Record
(EMR) Adoption
CHICAGO, Feb. 5, 2015 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Allscripts (Nasdaq:MDRX) client
Springhill Medical Center (Mobile, Ala., U.S.A.) used the Allscripts Sunrise
platform to achieve Stage 7, the highest level attainable, on the HIMSS
Analytics EMR Adoption Model(SM) (EMRAM).
The HIMSS Analytics EMR Adoption Model is a methodology that measures progress
and cumulative capabilities of EMR systems within hospitals. There are eight
stages (0-7) in the HIMSS Analytics EMR Adoption Model, and Stage 7 represents
the most advanced patient record environment. Currently, only 6.2% of hospitals
in the HIMSS Analytics® Database have currently reached Stage 7.
"Springhill Medical Center has done an excellent job of creating the culture of
expectation around the use of its EMR. It is extremely paper free on its nursing
units as well as in the intensive areas of emergency department and the ICU. It
has no "charts" on the units; all documentation is electronic," Executive Vice
President, HIMSS Analytics John P. Hoyt, FACHE, FHIMSS said. "This is a great
example that demonstrates that a stand-alone hospital in a competitive market
can indeed implement a complete EMR and have strong satisfaction from the
medical staff, nursing staff and patients, as its data clearly shows."
Hospitals that achieve Stage 7 on the HIMSS Analytics EMR Adoption Model have
demonstrated sophisticated capabilities such as a complete EMR, Continuity of
Care Document (CCD) transactions to share data, data warehousing and data
continuity with emergency and ambulatory care. The Allscripts suite of
applications provided the foundation for Springhill Medical Center to achieve
the Stage 7 designation.
Springhill Medical Center partnered with Allscripts, the first certified
educator of HIMSS Analytics EMR Adoption Model, to prepare for this
accomplishment. During a mock evaluation in the third quarter of 2014,
Allscripts helped Springhill identify a few small steps that needed to be taken
to reach Stage 7. The flexibility and comprehensive nature of the Allscripts
Sunrise solution helped Springhill meet this goal within six months.
"We've got a great team using Allscripts Sunrise, which is a flexible, powerful
acute solution," Springhill Medical Center President and Chief Executive Officer
Jeff St. Clair said. "These are the critical components in our work to
continuously improve the quality of patient care.
Springhill Medical Center first implemented the Allscripts Sunrise solution in
2004. It also uses Allscripts Managed IT Services, outsourcing its entire
information technology department. The partnership between Allscripts and
Springhill Medical Center earned Outsourcing Center's Best Outsourcing
Partnership award for the past three years.
"Springhill Medical Center is exemplary in its use of technology to drive
continuously improving patient outcomes," Allscripts President and Chief
Executive Officer Paul M. Black said. "Receiving this endorsement is a testament
to the quality of care Springhill provides."
