Wolters Kluwer Health, a leading global provider of information for healthcare professionals and students, announced today that San Juan Regional Medical Center (SJRMC) has selected its ProVation® MD software for Gastroenterology and Cardiology.

“We are pleased that they have chosen ProVation MD software for both Cardiology and Gastroenterology, which will help them to continue doing in the most cost-effective manner possible.”

ProVation MD for procedure documentation and coding compliance replaces dictation/transcription and streamlines the coding and billing process. ProVation MD for Gastroenterology offers robust electronic documentation and document imaging for all elements of the patient encounter, from past records to procedure documentation to follow-up care. The software leads clinicians through the procedure documentation process quickly and automatically with intuitive navigation and provides tracking and analysis that supports pay for performance, quality indicators and other reporting initiatives.

Unlike Cardiovascular Information Systems (CVIS), which collect patient measurements and administrative data, ProVation MD for Cardiology 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. The software interfaces with cardiovascular nursing, imaging and measurement systems to complete the electronic documentation process and free busy cardiologists and technologists from time-consuming dictation.

Based in Farmington, NM, San Juan Regional Medical Center is a 260-bed community hospital that is Joint Commission accredited and a designated Level 3 trauma center. SJRMC’s endoscopic procedures are state-of-the-art and use the latest in technology to perform a wide range of tests and procedures. Its comprehensive cardiology services integrate a complete range of diagnostic and treatment services, including cardiac and pulmonary rehabilitation, cardiac cath lab, a dedicated cardiac unit and the San Juan Regional Cardiology Clinic.

“San Juan Regional Medical Center strives to provide quality and compassionate care to its patients and their families,” said Arvind Subramanian, CEO, Wolters Kluwer Health Clinical Solutions division. “We are pleased that they have chosen ProVation MD software for both Cardiology and Gastroenterology, which will help them to continue doing in the most cost-effective manner possible.”
