Wolters Kluwer Health | ProVation Medical
is a software solution for efficient interdisciplinary care plan creation, customization and maintenance. By offering best-in-class care plans derived from Lippincott Williams & Wilkins, along with embedded links to the latest industry evidence, performance measures and quality indicators, the software provides hospitals with the ability to define and maintain a personalized care plans library. Further, the solution helps drive clinical consensus on standards of care, while adhering to industry-accepted nursing and medical diagnoses, goals and interventions.
“We rely on ProVation to more efficiently manage the process by which we create and maintain evidence-based care plans and order sets based on clinical content our clinicians trust. This integration expands those efficiencies to the delivery of care plans to our multi-disciplinary teams for access at every point in the care process,” said Kay Lytle, Director of Clinical IT Strategy, Duke University Health System. “This collaboration will ultimately help Duke achieve higher levels of quality and patient safety.”
Because ProVation’s platform is built using structured data, the process of importing care plans into Epic is greatly simplified. Care plan problems, interventions, goals, narratives and associated evidence links come across in the import, as do valuable patient education teaching topics. Additionally, the import ensures that only changed items are added to the EMR database versus a complete overwrite of the care plans content. The simple data migration technology streamlines the transfer of content from ProVation to the EMR, ensuring that care plans are consistent and accurate.
Driven by the best available evidence, including , Clin-eguide and Ovid MEDLINE, ProVation Care Plans ensure that interdisciplinary care teams have the information they need to enhance practice and demonstrate compliance with credentialing and standards for Joint Commission and other regulatory bodies. Created in partnership with , the leading international publisher of nursing information, ProVation Care Plans provides access to a wealth of Wolters Kluwer Health content, abstracts and full-text articles.
“This collaboration will enhance the ability of EMR users to take their quality objectives to the next level,” said Mike Haldane, Vice President and General Manager, Clinical Documentation, Wolters Kluwer Health Clinical Solutions. “Integrating ProVation Care Plans with Epic simplifies the development and management process, improving productivity while reducing the risk for error and liability and ultimately increasing bottom line results.”
