Healthcare information provider Wolters Kluwer has announced that NextGen Healthcare will integrate ProVation® Clinic Note into NextGen Now™, the company's new cloud-based electronic health record (EHR) platform.
ProVation Clinic Note comprises more than 8,000 evidence-based and pre-coded templates and accompanying metadata that enable content presented to the clinician to change based on the patient's age, gender, reason for visit, clinical venue and physician specialty. The addition of ProVation Clinic Note to NextGen Now provides users of the cloud-based ambulatory EHR platform access to 'smart documentation' that is integrated with key components of the patient's electronic record. It also features clinical decision support (CDS) rules to enhance delivery of evidence-based care.
Designed for integration by EHR vendors into physician documentation modules, Clinic Note enables smart documentation through rules and tagging that drive clinicians to the most appropriate and efficient documentation and order set content for the patient. It also integrates with other components of the EHR including the Problem List and Medication List, and drives smart coding including E&M, ICD-9, ICD-10, SNOMED CT, LOINC and RxNorm.
NextGen Healthcare will also integrate the ambulatory order set templates from ProVation Order Sets into NextGen Now to provide CDS rules and care protocols that help clinicians deliver evidence-based care. ProVation Order Sets improves patient outcomes and quality of care by providing evidence-based order set templates developed with the editors of UpToDate®, the clinical decision support resource of choice for more than 1 million users worldwide.
