Hello, diverdave!
Thank you for your patience in waiting for my answer!
I have found quite a number of references pertaining to the use of
Trendstar in hospital settings. Some of the information was obtained
through unusual references, such as job postings. Though I have
included all the references I have found thus far, please be mindful
that some hospitals may have switched systems, especially if the
references are older. I am sure there are many more hospitals using
Trendstar than those I have found online, but I hope this list
provides a good start!

"Baptist Health Systems was one of five hospitals nationwide to
receive the 2002 Pathfinder Award from McKesson, a leading provider of
supply, information and care management products and services designed
to reduce costs and improve quality across healthcare."
"Baptist was given the award in the Strategic Management category for
its use of McKesson’s Decision Support products in a system-wide
strategic planning effort. Approximately two years ago, Baptist
initiated a comprehensive evaluation of its operations and began
developing a strategy to increase inpatient admissions, ambulatory
services, improve financial performance and boost patient
satisfaction. Using Trendstar, a decision support system, Baptist
evaluated and monitored its product lines, reviewed historic trends
and developed performance measurement tools to monitor future growth
and product line profitability."

Trendstar:
To assist in the provision and development of Casemix information the
Area implemented TRENDSTAR, an information system that integrates both
the clinical and financial feeder systems that exist within the
hospital, into one database. This provides a comprehensive and
cohesive Casemix information data base that can be made available to
the widest possible platform of users across a wide range of
disciplines. It is a system that is designed to assist with
management issues.
The implementation of TRENDSTAR within SEH originated from a decision
made by the NSW Information Systems Steering Committee (ISSC) on the
16th December, 1993. The objectives of acquiring such a system were:
to provide an effective management tool for the Area and hospitals
to facilitate the effective allocation of resources from Area to
hospitals, enhance the service planning process, and enable
accountability of health professionals for the utilization of health
resources
and to assist with the development of quality improvement programs.
In June 1994, the TRENDSTAR Clinical Costing/Decision Support System
was selected as the preferred system for NSW Health.
The Area commenced the implementation of TRENDSTAR in September 1995
with a 6 month project at St George Hospital. TRENDSTAR was then
rolled out to the remaining six acute care facilities over the next
three years, culminating in an Area wide TRENDSTAR network in June
1998.
