MINNEAPOLIS – Wolters Kluwer Health, a leading global provider of information for healthcare professionals and students, announced today that Amsurg Corp. has selected ProVation® MD software for surgical procedure documentation and coding, and ProVation® EHR software for electronic health records and patient charting, as one of its preferred solution providers. Currently AmSurg owns a majority interest in 189 Ambulatory Surgery Centers (ASCs) across the nation with revenues in excess of $500 million, and has historically added 10 to 20 new centers each year.
