Eclipsys Corp. recently announced that Sheppard Pratt Health System, Maryland's largest provider of behavioral health and special education services, will implement Eclipsys Sunrise Clinical Manager and other Sunrise clinical systems. Sheppard Pratt has cited the flexibility of the Eclipsys software as one of the main reasons for the decision.
   
In addition to Sunrise Clinical Manager, an enterprise-wide clinical information system, Sheppard Pratt will implement the solution's rules authoring capability, Physician Solutions, Nursing Care Solutions, Sunrise Remote Access Services, and Sunrise Secure Health Messaging. The software will be remote hosted by the ISO 9001:2000-certified Eclipsys Technology Solutions Center in Mountain Lakes, N.J.
   
The health system will also make use of clinical transformation services provided by the Eclipsys Consulting Group in the implementation of the systems.
