Hawthorn Medical Associates selects ProVation software for Multi-specialty ASC Documentation
MINNEAPOLIS, MN –March 19, 2008 –Wolters Kluwer Health, a leading global provider of information for healthcare professionals and students, announced today that Hawthorn Medical Associates has selected ProVation® Medical software for multi-specialty nursing and physician procedure documentation and coding. The software will be installed at a brand new surgery center opening in April 2008, and will be used to document Gastroenterological, General Surgery, Orthopedic, Otolaryngological, and Urologic procedures.
ProVation® MD software for multi-specialty procedure documentation and coding compliance replaces dictation/transcription and streamlines the coding and billing process. Driven by deep medical content, ProVation MD allows clinicians to quickly and completely document medical procedures and apply the appropriate CPT and ICD codes, as well as CCI edits. ProVation MultiCaregiver software delivers multispecialty perioperative documentation, streamlining workflow by intelligently reusing data at various points while automatically retrieving data from multiple IT systems.
Hawthorn Medical is the largest multi-specialty medical group practice in greater New Bedford, MA, and will soon complete construction on a 29,629 square-foot addition to its main medical building. The addition will house the new Ambulatory Surgery Center, offices and exam rooms.
“The tremendous growth Hawthorn Medical has experienced in our more than 35 years in existence has led to the exciting new expansion of our current facility and the construction of a new surgery center,” said Carol A. Fox, NP, Ambulatory Surgery Center Manager, Hawthorn Medical Associates. “Using ProVation software in place of dictation and paper charting will allow us to streamline administrative processes and keep up with growing demand for services while maintaining the quality of patient care.”
“It is always exciting when a new surgery center opens its doors,” said Arvind Subramanian, President & CEO, Wolters Kluwer Health, Clinical Solutions. “By selecting the ProVation software platform for patient documentation, Hawthorn Medical Associates will start off on the right foot by eliminating transcription, printing and paper storage fees and simplifying workflow.”
