Wolters Kluwer Health, a leading global provider of information for healthcare professionals and students, today unveiled Medi-Span® Clinical, a robust clinical decision support (CDS) platform that delivers the functionality, interoperability and medication-related CDS necessary to advance the practice of evidence-based medicine and to achieve meaningful use of health IT.
“In developing Medi-Span Clinical, we listened to the needs and concerns of both EMR vendors and clinician users. This enabled us to deliver an advanced medication decision support platform that is easy to implement and use, and that eliminates many of the interoperability challenges plaguing other drug compendia”

For EMR vendors, Medi-Span Clinical delivers CCHIT-compliant medication-related clinical decision support and enables client organizations to meet multiple criteria for meaningful use, as currently defined. Medi-Span Clinical is comprised of a suite of Application Programming Interfaces (API) that allows health information system vendors to utilize Medi-Span content, terminology mappings and featured functionality in a manner that seamlessly integrates into new and existing EHR applications. Utilization of APIs allows development efforts to focus on the application rather than the underlying data structure.
Medi-Span Clinical was developed architecturally to adapt easily to a continuously evolving certification environment, with a flexible platform that can grow and expand to meet future criteria with minimal impact to customers.
