Healthcare information provider Wolters Kluwer announced that Lakeland Health has selected ProVation® Order Sets, powered by UpToDate® Decision Support, as its clinical content management system. The HIMSS Analytics Stage 7 healthcare organisation and 2014 HIMSS Davies Award winner will leverage ProVation Order Sets to advance CPOE utilisation and facilitate a more rigorous approach to maintaining evidence-based order sets.
Serving patients throughout the southwest region of Michigan, Lakeland Health is a not-for-profit community-owned health system comprising three hospitals, an outpatient surgery center, a regional cancer center, rehabilitation centers, two long-term care residences, home care and hospice services, and 34 affiliate physician practice locations. It is among just 3 percent of hospitals nationwide to achieve Stage 7 of the HIMSS Analytics EMR Adoption ModelSM (EMRAM), the pinnacle goal where paper charts are no longer used for care delivery.
A central component of a healthcare organisation's care quality and core measures improvement strategy, ProVation Order Sets improves patient outcomes and quality of care by providing evidence-based order set templates co-developed with the editors of UpToDate. Customers achieve a return on investment through lower costs of care and the efficiencies of an intelligent clinical content management system. ProVation Order Sets also contains over 11,000 unbreakable links to UpToDate, the resource of choice for more than 1 million users worldwide.
