Global clinical technology company Wolters Kluwer Health Extend its integration with the electronic health company (DSE) Epic To allow customers of the Uptodate company and their patients to access the content of patient education directly within the EHR DSE and the Portal of MyChart patients.
“If you are a Uptodate corporate client, which means that you have access to our full range of professional content for clinical decision aid, we end this loop on this harmonization offer, and we say that you cannot really do the clinical game and the professional part without the patient Kluwer Health, says Mobile.
Wolters Kluwer released his Uptodate business suite in Himss24 In Orlando, Florida, last year. The offer is structured to provide major health care systems and plans with tools for clinical decision -making assistance based on evidence with actual information as well as navigation assistance on medical guidelines.
Thanks to the expanded integration with EPIC, customers of the UPTODATE business suite can provide patients with complete resources from the Wolters patient education library directly thanks to the EPIC clinical reference tool.
The library contains educational material on more than 7,000 subjects and will be available in many languages.
Clinicians can access tools, print or send them via their favorite patient education workflow tools. In turn, patients will have 24/7 access to the full library via their mychart portal.
“If a patient has an application on his phone, he will be there, and it will be available at any time,” said Frey. “Patients really play a different role in their care. And there is all this theme of one approach centered on the patient.”
In addition, health care systems will have access to analysis data on the type of material that patients display and in the languages they read the equipment.
“(The analyzes are) offering health administrators unprecedented information on how clinicians and patients use patient education content,” said Frey.
“We will also launch an Analytics dashboard, which will display use by different methods and help you, as a administrator, to understand where and how the content is used, and this will ultimately give them visibility on opportunities to fill the gaps.”
Patient education equipment will be provided to customers of the Uptodate company using EPIC DSE at no additional cost.
Frey says that several customers already use the tool, while others are assigned to commissioning. However, Frey says that an opportunity exists to extend access to patient ED equipment beyond the EPIC platform.
“Epic is the largest, of an imprint, of our customers from afar. In the end, the objective of the strategy is to have patient education equipment, the vast library and all languages are omnipresent, regardless of the type of workflow tool.
In addition, she relayed that Wolters Kluwer Health plans how to work with ambient documentation companies.
“How pleasant would be if an ambient tool included the conversation, you know, say that the doctor speaks to the patient of hypertension. What is the kindness of automatically suggesting the right education equipment of the patient to send and reduce part of this administrative work for the clinician. So, it is somewhat ambition beyond the initial launch,” said Frey.
