Medical information provider Wolters Kluwer Health (WK Health), US, has launched ProVation Order Sets, powered by UpToDate Decision Support, an innovative order set development solution that combines ProVation Medical's technology platform with UpToDate's premier clinical decision support content. ProVation Order Sets streamlines the delivery of standardised care for improved patient safety, outcomes, clinician performance and regulatory compliance.
An actionable, customisable order set authoring and management solution, ProVation Order Sets enables hospitals to put evidence-based healthcare into practice by establishing and maintaining standards of care. It helps improve patient care by providing easy access to a comprehensive repository of evidence; reduces costs related to medication errors and increases patient safety through built-in standardisation at the point of care; aids implementation of evidence-based practice across medical specialties; and provides a solid return on investment by simplifying the order set review and approval process.
The newly unveiled ProVation Order Sets offers automatic linking to evidence-based content from UpToDate, a clinical decision support tool covering more than 7,700 topics in 14 medical specialties. UpToDate includes more than 79,000 pages of text, graphics, links to Medline abstracts, more than 260,000 references and a drug database. Content is continuously reviewed and updated by physician editors and authors.
ProVation Order Sets also utilises Wolters Kluwer Health's Ovid platform to provide one-click access to all web-based journal information to which a medical facility subscribes. This enables delivery of highly specific content in the context of clinician workflow, whether clinicians are developing order sets or utilizing them at the patient bedside.
