Summa Health System to implement ProVation MD software

Oct 6 2009

Wolters Kluwer Health, a leading global provider of information for healthcare professionals and students, announced today that Summa Health System has selected ProVation® MD software for Cardiology procedure documentation and coding. Summa Health will use the software to document and code catheterization cases at its three cardiac catheterization labs at Summa Akron City Hospital.

ProVation® MD software for procedure documentation and coding compliance replaces dictation/transcription and streamlines the coding and billing process. Unlike Cardiovascular Information Systems (CVIS), which collect patient measurements and administrative data, ProVation MD lets clinicians quickly and completely document medical procedures at the point of care, then applies the appropriate reimbursement codes to drive compliance and revenue recovery. ProVation MD interfaces with cardiovascular nursing, imaging and measurement systems to complete the electronic documentation process and free busy cardiologists and technologists from time-consuming dictation.

Serving more than 1.3 million people across 14 hospital and medical center locations, Summa Health System is one of the largest organized delivery systems in Ohio. Consistently ranked as one of the best healthcare providers in the country, Summa excels in heart, emergency, women’s health, stroke, orthopedics, cancer and geriatric services and has been recognized by the Joint Commission and U.S. News & World Report.

“We are pleased that such a reputable organization as Summa Health System has chosen to implement our software solutions,” said Arvind Subramanian, CEO, Wolters Kluwer Health Clinical Solutions and ProVation Medical.

“Summa Health System is committed to providing patients with the highest quality cardiac care,” he continued. “This means not only using the most advanced clinical techniques, but also employing software like ProVation MD, which streamlines the documentation workflow for cardiologists and drives revenue recovery through complete, compliant coding.”
