Healthcare information provider Wolters Kluwer has announced the integration of its clinical decision support (CDS) resource with the electronic health record (EHR) solution from MV, a Brazilian market leader in health management systems. UpToDate®, used by over 1 million doctors in more than 170 countries, can now be embedded in SOUL MV®, an innovative EHR solution with SBIS-CFM certification from the Sociedade Brasileira de Informática em Saúde (SBIS, the Brazilian Healthcare Informatics Society) and the Conselho Federal de Medicina (CFM, the Federal Council of Medicine). The integration simplifies and streamlines the clinical workflow within health institutions so doctors can focus on providing the best quality care for their patients.
Integrating UpToDate into the EHR provides health professionals with one-button access to more than 10,500 clinical topics across 22 specialties. Embedding UpToDate in SOUL MV reduces lost productivity by eliminating multiple log-ins and toggling between several windows. With CDS available seamlessly within the patient's health record, doctors find it easier to locate answers to the critical clinical questions they have related to their patient's care. The patented Search In Your Own Language capability permits search queries to be performed in Portuguese. This integration capability is available immediately in SOUL MV (version 02.052).
Wolters Kluwer offers UpToDate integration with leading EHR solutions around the world as a complement to enterprise-wide mobile access on smartphones and tablets. However, the integration with MV is the first specific to the Brazilian market.
UpToDate is an evidence-based, physician-authored clinical decision support resource which clinicians trust to make the right point-of-care decisions. UpToDate's more than 6,000 world-renowned physician authors, editors and peer reviewers use a rigorous editorial process to synthesize the most recent medical information into trusted, evidence-based recommendations that are proven to improve patient care and quality. More than 60 research studies confirm the widespread usage and association of UpToDate with quality metrics such as improved patient care and hospital performance, including reduced length of stay, adverse complications and mortality.
The EHR, which is one of the solutions in the SOUL MV platform, offers efficiency, agility, precision and security to meet the needs of healthcare information management. SOUL MV brings together clinical and healthcare administrative information for all aspects of patient care, simplifying data management and making the day-to-day work of doctors, nurses and other health professionals easier. The advanced EHR also enables powerful reporting and statistical analysis of clinical information, ensuring clear access to critical insights. Complying with the standards set by the Sociedade Brasileira de Informática em Saúde (SBIS) and the Conselho Federal de Medicina (CFM), the MV EHR is 100% integrated in the areas of medical supplies, financial, administrative, clinical care and executive management.
