Wolters Kluwer Health, a leading global provider of information for healthcare professionals and students, announced today that Ozarks Medical Center has selected ProVation® Order Sets, powered by UpToDate® Decision Support, as the hospital's electronic order set solution.
“We are pleased that they have selected ProVation Order Sets, powered by UpToDate, to further this mission and provide clinicians with comprehensive decision support at the point of care.”
Located in West Plains, Mo., the 114-bed Ozarks Medical Center is a not-for-profit medical center serving an 11-county area in south central Missouri and north central Arkansas. Ozarks Medical Center is Joint Commission accredited and provides a wide range of inpatient and outpatient services.
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 users 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, more than 385,000 Medline 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 allows for flexible integration into any facility or vendor EMR or CPOE system.
"Ozarks Medical Center is dedicated to providing high-quality healthcare through the use of technology, new services and equipment, and the recruitment of high-quality healthcare leaders," said Arvind Subramanian, President and CEO, Wolters Kluwer Health Clinical Solutions. "We are pleased that they have selected ProVation Order Sets, powered by UpToDate, to further this mission and provide clinicians with comprehensive decision support at the point of care."
