ATLANTA, GA, USA - (HealthTech Wire / News) - Eclipsys Corporation® (NASDAQ: ECLP), The Outcomes Company®, today announced the completion of its acquisition of MediNotes, an industry leader in physician practice information solutions. With the transaction finalized, MediNotes is now a wholly owned subsidiary of Eclipsys.

On September 19, 2008, Eclipsys announced a definitive agreement to acquire MediNotes to support its strategy of providing a comprehensive set of solutions that help health systems better connect with physicians, and physicians with their patients. MediNotes’ Web-based practice management and electronic medical record (EMR) solutions are low-cost to implement and maintain, providing health systems with a cost-effective way to improve care coordination and expand relationships with loosely affiliated physicians. Other community health solutions from Eclipsys include Sunrise Ambulatory Care™, for clinics and physician offices tightly affiliated with health systems; and integrated patient and clinician portals.  

“We’re very excited to add MediNotes’ offerings to our community solution portfolio as we can now more-effectively support healthcare enterprises’ community strategy,” said R. Andrew Eckert, Eclipsys president and chief executive officer. “With the EPSi solutions we acquired earlier this year integrated into Eclipsys and already achieving such strong market demand, we can now focus on executing our go-to-market strategy for MediNotes.”

Eclipsys will formally launch the MediNotes solutions and outline its comprehensive community strategy at the Eclipsys User Network™ (EUN™) Annual Outcomes Conference, upcoming October 5-8 in Atlanta.
