a 2008 Frost & Sullivan Award for Healthcare Innovation in the North
American Clinical Information Systems market.
Solutions Developed to Help Clients Better
Serve Patients
The award cites Eclipsys for its contributions and
growth in the physician practice management solution market based on

management (PM) solutions, which offer high performance and
affordability for physician practices of varying sizes to adopt and
maintain. With a solutions and services suite developed to help
clients better serve patients and meet business objectives, the
company also received accolades for successful activations and
maintaining high standards on post-sale client support and
professional services.
