Wolters Kluwer Health, a leading global provider of information for healthcare professionals and students, announced today that Creighton University Medical Center has selected ProVation® MD software for Cardiology procedure documentation and coding. The software will be used to document and code catheterization cases at The Cardiac Center of Creighton University.
ProVation® MD software for procedure documentation and coding compliance replaces dictation/transcription and streamlines the coding and billing process. Unlike Cardiovascular Information Systems (CVIS), which collect patient measurements and administrative data, ProVation MD lets clinicians quickly and completely document medical procedures at the point of care, then applies the appropriate reimbursement codes to drive compliance and revenue recovery. ProVation MD interfaces with cardiovascular nursing, imaging and measurement systems to complete the electronic documentation process and free busy cardiologists and technologists from time-consuming dictation.
The Cardiac Center of Creighton University is a 60,000-square-foot facility dedicated to cardiovascular teaching, research and the care of patients with or at high risk of having heart disease. It is the hub from which 21 cardiologists, 13 cardiology fellows, 1 pharmacy fellow and a support staff of more than 200 work and provide care to a large surrounding community.
“The Cardiac Center of Creighton University is unique in that it is the only freestanding facility of its kind that is fully dedicated to advancing cardiovascular care through education, research and practice,” said Arvind Subramanian, CEO, Wolters Kluwer Health Clinical Solutions division. “We are extremely pleased that they have chosen ProVation MD Cardiology software to streamline the documentation and coding of cardiac procedures.”
