Altera Digital Health Makes Sunrise 25.1 Generally Available to Hospitals and Health Systems

Nearly 700 new features and enhancements to drive financial and clinical improvements

NIAGARA FALLS, N.Y.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Altera Digital Health, a global health IT leader, today announced the general availability of Sunrise™ 25.1, the latest release of its complete electronic health record (EHR) system for mid-size hospitals and health systems. Designed in close collaboration with clients, Sunrise 25.1 introduces nearly 700 updates and new features that sharpen financial and ambulatory workflows, streamline navigation, minimize the cognitive load for users and make critical information accessible at the point of care.

While hospital margins improved in 2024, healthcare organizations continue to grapple with competitive labor market conditions, increasing costs and a rise in bad debt and charity care. Sunrise 25.1 addresses these realities by embedding best-practice workflows and flexible configuration tools that support revenue integrity, clinical productivity and enterprise-wide efficiency. For example, the Sunrise™ Financial Manager module contains a billing hub that consolidates billing requests, claims and self-pay into three easily accessible tabs that streamline workflows for staff members across the revenue cycle.

Sunrise 25.1 also represents a significant uplift in clinical workflow satisfaction and efficiency for clients. Within Sunrise™ Ambulatory Care, enhanced patient management features include a unified list for appointments and walk-ins, easy location viewing, enhanced visual cues and clinical assignments, and new mini-views that enable users to toggle between patients with a single click. On the acute side, users can enter, view and maintain orders at the patient level and enter queries without exact search term requirements. Additionally, Sunrise™ Mobile’s new, intuitive icons and modernized user interface enable clinicians to use the system more seamlessly so they can focus more on patient care.

“This release brings meaningful advancements to the front lines of care and operations, delivering tools that help teams move faster, work smarter and make strides where it matters most to them,” said Shanna DeLeo, SVP of Development for Sunrise, Altera Digital Health. “Sunrise 25.1 is a direct result of listening to our clients and a commitment to continuous progress. I am incredibly proud of the Sunrise team for delivering on our promise to keep elevating healthcare for clinicians, staff members and the patients they serve.”
