Kona Surgery Center Selects ProVation® Medical Software for Procedure Documentation & Coding,
Patient Charting
MINNEAPOLIS, MN -February 25, 2010- Wolters Kluwer Health, a leading global provider of information for healthcare professionals and students, announced today that Kona Surgery Center has selected its ProVation® MD software for procedure documentation and coding, and its ProVation® EHR electronic health record and patient charting solution. Deployment of the ProVation Medical software solutions enables the newly opened multi-specialty ASC to immediately realize the productivity, compliance and cost benefits associated with operating in a near-paperless environment.
ProVation EHR is an electronic health record designed for busy, cost-conscious Ambulatory Surgery Centers (ASCs). It offers robust electronic documentation and document imaging for all elements of the patient encounter, from past records to procedure documentation to follow-up care. With ProVation EHR, ASCs have affordable access to a single, patient-centric documentation system that eliminates printing and chart storage costs and streamlines workflow. ProVation MD, available for the full range of ASC specialties, replaces dictation and transcription and allows physicians to efficiently document procedures at the point of care. ProVation software produces complete, coding-ready and image-enhanced procedure notes that result in greater efficiency, increased profitability and clinician satisfaction.
Kona Surgery Center, a partnership between the hospital, Hawaii Pacific Health and several West Hawaii physicians, started taking patients in late January, after receiving its state license Jan. 21. Kona ASC is a state-of-the-art, 3-suite multi-specialty surgery center focused on gastroenterology, podiatry, general surgery, plastic surgery, orthopedics, dental surgery and ophthalmology.
"Kona Surgery Center is committed to achieving and exceeding the highest standards in all services it provides to the Kailuah-Kona community," said Arvind Subramanian, CEO, Wolters Kluwer Health Clinical Solutions division. "We are pleased that they have selected ProVation software as part of the ASC's state-of-the art offerings to provide patients with the highest quality, safest care and enable physicians and its staff to function at peak productivity levels while keeping costs low."
