Case Study: Phoenix Children’s Hospital improves clinical efficiency and safety with Altera Digital Health’s Sunrise EHR custom tabs

Keeping Tabs on Success Optimizing Sunrise™ EHR

Phoenix Children's Hospital sought to optimize its patient care by making crucial clinical data housed in its Altera Digital Health Sunrise™ EHR more accessible and actionable for its clinicians. The challenge was that important patient information was siloed across different parts of the EHR system, causing clinicians to spend excessive time searching for data instead of analyzing it to make decisions.

Altera Digital Health developed a series of custom tabs within the Sunrise EHR, including SmartChart, Insights, Venous Map, and Custom Communications. These tabs consolidated disparate data into single-view dashboards and enabled secure communication, giving providers a quick, comprehensive view of a patient's status. The solution significantly increased efficiency and safety, with specific dashboards being used on over 90% of days, demonstrating high adoption and allowing clinicians to devote more time to patient care.
