Health information provider Wolters Kluwer Health, US, has announced that Samaritan Medical Center has selected ProVation Order Sets, powered by UpToDate Decision Support, as the organisation's electronic order set solution. Located in Watertown, New York, Samaritan Medical Center serves as the regional referral centre for northern New York, providing an array of medical, surgical and emergency care services.
ProVation Order Sets is projected as an easily customisable order set authoring and management solution that provides flexible integration into clinical processes to streamline the delivery of standardised care for improved patient safety, outcomes, clinician performance and regulatory compliance. The tool is built upon ProVation Medical's clinician-designed technology platform. One of its primary values is said to be the continuous updates to clinical content and medical evidence, including direct links to UpToDate, which reportedly has 450,000 users worldwide.
A One-Click Updates tool featured by ProVation Order Sets is stated to leverage UpToDate's Practice Changing Updates, which highlights new recommendations that could potentially change usual clinical practice. Enabled by a 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 9,000 topics in 17 medical specialties and includes more than 77,000 pages of text and graphics, more than 328,000 Medline references and a drug database. Content is continuously reviewed and updated by physician editors and authors.
