Information services provider Wolters Kluwer Health (WK Health), US, has announced that Centra Health has selected its ProVation Medical software for cardiology procedure documentation and coding in its cardiac catheterisation labs.
ProVation software replaces dictation/transcription and streamlines the coding and billing process. 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, and then applies the appropriate reimbursement codes to drive compliance and revenue recovery. It interfaces with cardiovascular nursing, imaging and measurement systems to complete the electronic documentation process and free busy cardiologists and technologists from time-consuming dictation.
Located in Lynchburg, Va., Centra is a non-profit regional healthcare system providing comprehensive health services to the residents of central and southwest Virginia through three acute care hospitals - Lynchburg General, Virginia Baptist and Southside Community. Centra also includes residential and outpatient mental health facilities, home health and hospice programmes, and mammography, sleep disorders, wound care and hyperbaric medicine centers.
