MINNEAPOLIS--(BUSINESS WIRE)-- Wolters Kluwer Health, a leading global provider of information for healthcare professionals and students, announced today that Essent Healthcare has selected ProVation®Order Sets, powered by UpToDate®Decision Support, as the electronic order set solution for the system’s five hospitals.
Headquartered in Nashville, Tenn., Essent Healthcare owns and operates Merrimack Valley Hospital in Haverhill, Mass., Nashoba Valley Medical Center in Ayer, Mass., Paris Regional Medical Center in Paris, Texas, Sharon Hospital in Sharon, Conn., and Southwest Regional Medical Center in Waynesburg, Penn. All hospitals are accredited by The Joint Commission and collaborate with the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS) on numerous quality initiatives.
ProVation Order Sets, powered by UpToDate Decision Support, is an easily customizable order set authoring and management solution that provides flexible integration into clinical processes to streamline the delivery of standardized care for improved patient safety, outcomes, clinician performance and regulatory compliance. ProVation Order Sets is built upon ProVation Medical’s award-winning, clinician-designed technology platform. One of its primary values is the continuous updates to clinical content and medical evidence, including direct links to UpToDate, the resource of choice for more than 400,000 clinicians worldwide.
Central to this capability is the One Click Updates tool, which leverages UpToDate’s Practice Changing Updates, which highlights new recommendations that could potentially change usual clinical practice. Enabled by a unique, structured approach to data management, One Click Updates alerts end users to evidence that may trigger the need to modify particular order sets. It then enables users to review recommended updates and apply them in a single step across multiple order sets.
UpToDate covers more than 8,300 topics in 17 medical specialties and includes more than 97,000 pages of text and graphics, as well as links to Medline abstracts, more than 385,000 references and a drug database. Content is continuously reviewed and updated by physician editors and authors.
In addition to integrated links to UpToDate and other trusted sources of medical evidence, ProVation Order Sets offers the flexibility to link additional clinical resources based upon client needs and preferences. Further, to help facilities achieve the highest possible degree of automation, ProVation Order Sets features vendor-neutral mapping and export capabilities that allow for flexible integration into any facility or vendor EMR or CPOE system.
“Essent Healthcare is committed to providing high-quality patient care across the nation as evidenced by its numerous awards and recognitions,” said Arvind Subramanian, President and CEO, Wolters Kluwer Health Clinical Solutions. “We are pleased that it has chosen ProVation Order Sets, powered by UpToDate Decision Support, to further this mission by providing clinicians with accurate, current and relevant decision support at the point of care in each of its hospitals.”
