Wolters Kluwer Health launches ProVation Order Sets with decision
support
23 April 2009
Wolters Kluwer Health has launched ProVation Order Sets, powered by
UpToDate Decision Support, an innovative order set development solution
that combines ProVation Medical’s award-winning technology platform with
UpToDate’s premier clinical decision support content.
ProVation Order Sets, powered by UpToDate Decision Support,
streamlines the delivery of standardized care for improved patient
safety, outcomes, clinician performance and regulatory compliance.
“ProVation Order Sets, powered by UpToDate Decision Support, offers a
depth and breadth of clinical information that is unmatched in the
industry, including direct access to UpToDate’s superior evidence-based
topic reviews, the resource of choice for more than 360,000 physicians,”
said Arvind Subramanian, President and CEO, Wolters Kluwer Health
Clinical Solutions.
“By marrying ProVation Medical’s leading edge technology and
intuitive functionality with UpToDate’s world-class medical content,
ProVation Order Sets delivers what other order set solutions cannot —
guaranteed physician adoption as well as streamlined workflow
integration and measurable return on investment.”
An actionable, customizable order set authoring and management
solution, ProVation Order Sets enables hospitals to put evidence-based
healthcare into practice by establishing and maintaining standards of
care.
It helps improve patient care by providing easy access to a
comprehensive repository of evidence; reduces costs related to
medication errors and increases patient safety through built-in
standardization at the point of care; aids implementation of
evidence-based practice across medical specialties; and provides a solid
return on investment by simplifying the order set review and approval
process.
The ProVation Order Sets offers automatic linking to evidence-based
content from UpToDate, a clinical decision support tool covering more
than 7,700 topics in 14 medical specialties. UpToDate includes more than
79,000 pages of text, graphics, links to Medline abstracts, more than
260,000 references and a drug database. Content is continuously reviewed
and updated by physician editors and authors.
“Lack of physician satisfaction and adoption is one of the greatest
risks of any clinical IT investment,” said Subramanian. “ProVation
products enjoy a 95% clinician adoption rate, and UpToDate is instantly
recognized and embraced by hundreds of thousands of physician users.
"We are also adding Nursing Care Plans to support nurses with the
actionable evidence they need in their daily workflow and care processes
to effectively enhance practice, improve patient safety and demonstrate
compliance with credentialing and regulatory standards. Together, these
factors ensure high clinician adoption and satisfaction rates for
ProVation Order Sets.”
To help facilities achieve the highest possible degree of automation,
ProVation Order Sets features vendor-neutral mapping and export
capabilities that allow it to be integrated into any facility or vendor
EMR in just three steps.
ProVation Order Sets also utilizes Wolters Kluwer Health’s Ovid
platform to provide one-click access to all web-based journal
information to which a medical facility subscribes. This enables
delivery of highly specific content in the context of clinician
workflow, whether clinicians are developing order sets or utilizing them
at the patient bedside.
