Sunrise Portfolio’s Open Architecture to Help Enhance Patient Care in an Integrated Environment

Phoenix Children’s Hospital, ranked as one of U.S. News & World Report’s Best Children’s Hospitals, has made significant new investments in the Allscripts Sunrise product suite.

The addition of Sunrise Financial Manager, Sunrise Ambulatory and Allscripts Community Record will enable Phoenix Children’s to connect its community with an integrated clinical and financial platform. Allscripts open architecture, integration and agility of its solutions, and care coordination are three of the reasons Phoenix Children’s made the expanded commitment to Allscripts.

Chief Medical Information Officer, Dr. Vinay Vaidya, said: “We did not want a garden variety EHR- we wanted an innovative partner to grow with us, one who is interested in focusing on safety, quality and regulatory outcomes specific to the needs of our organization. We found this in Allscripts.”
