What is driving this and how is Wolters Kluwer Health Clinical Solutions meeting the decision support needs of its clients?
Clinical decision support improves quality of care and patient safety. Hospitals and EMR vendors both recognize that providing clinicians with current, accurate clinical information at the point of care reduces errors and adverse events and improves outcomes. That, in turn, translates into a cost savings of millions of dollars per year for hospitals. Equally important is the fact that many hospitals now have the technology infrastructure in place to support point-of-care delivery of clinical decision support tools, such as computerized alerts and reminders, clinical guidelines, order sets, diagnostic support, and advanced clinical workflow tools. To address our clients’ needs, Wolters Kluwer Health Clinical Solutions leverages its 200-plus years of medical publishing experience, unmatched breadth and quality of content from more than 4,000 publications, and clinical and technological expertise to deliver end-to-end software solutions and content encompassing the full continuum of care.
