Baylor developed several custom components for Allscripts Sunrise Clinical Manager. The enhancements were designed to improve the adoption and use of computerized physician order entry and the use of electronic physician documentation. Among Baylor's notable customizations to the Allscripts EHR was a custom physician documentation tool, called NoteBuilder, which Allscripts says allows the 3,200 physicians within the Baylor network to create notes quickly and accurately with minimal wasted effort.
