MINNEAPOLIS – Wolters Kluwer Health, a leading global provider of information for healthcare professionals and students, announced today that Akron General Medical Center has selected ProVation MD software for cardiology procedure documentation and coding. The software will be used to document and code catheterization procedures at Akron General’s Heart and Vascular Center.
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 allows clinicians to 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.
“Technology is becoming increasingly important in the practice of medicine, and Akron General uses it every day to improve patient care,” said Dr. Robert Schweikert, chief of Cardiology at Akron General Medical Center. “By providing cardiologists with electronic health records that shorten the documentation process and cut down on administrative costs and delays, we free them to spend more time where they prefer to be: with their patients.”
Akron General Heart & Vascular Center provides the most advanced level of cardiovascular prevention,
education, research and care to the residents of Northeast Ohio and beyond. It is Summit County’s only
Accredited Chest Pain Center, and its Primary Stroke Center has the Gold Seal of Approval™ from the Joint Commission on Accreditation of Healthcare Organizations.
“The award-winning Heart & Vascular Center at Akron General is a leader in the delivery of cardiac care,” said Arvind Subramanian, CEO, Wolters Kluwer Health Clinical Solutions and ProVation Medical. “Their selection of ProVation MD cardiology software is validation that our multi-specialty documentation and coding solution is aligned with the key enterprise initiatives of hospitals, health systems and ASCs across the country.”
