Medicat selects Wolters Kluwer clinical content and terminology management solutions to enhance functionality in its Patient Health Management offering -

The Health division of Wolters Kluwer, a global provider of information and point of care solutions for the healthcare industry, has announced that Medicat has chosen its suite of clinical content and terminology management solutions to enhance functionality in its Patient Health Management offering. Specifically, the comprehensive health solution for colleges and universities will now feature the Workflow Enhancing Search offering from Health Language® and the Integrated Patient Education solution.

Through the Integrated Patient Education solution, providers using Medicat gain access to more than 6,000 education leaflets in up to 19 languages to share with patients. Developed using the background and deep industry experience of Wolters Kluwer with trusted clinical content from UpToDate ®, the Integrated Patient Education solution provides the latest information and industry evidence on over 3,100 adult and pediatric medications and more than 3,500 diseases, conditions, natural products, discharge instructions, and healthy living topics.

The Health Language Enterprise Terminology Platform enhances search functionality, enabling providers using Medicat to look up and record problems and diagnoses through a comprehensive library of commonly used synonyms. Familiar terms are then mapped to industry terminology standards, such as ICD-10 and SNOMED CT ®, effectively resolving the disconnect between billing and administrative standards, Meaningful Use requirements, and the clinician's preferred way of documenting clinical care.
