By Elsevier, PRNEMonday, July 18, 2011
GRAND RAPIDS, Michigan, July 19, 2011 -
- CPM and Providence Health & Services
Collaboration Aims to Improve Overall Interdisciplinary Care
and Transform Patient Care Culture
Elsevier / CPM Resource Center (CPM), a leader in developing
clinical decision support tools for healthcare, announced today a
contract with Providence Health & Services, a not-for-profit
health system committed to providing services to communities across
five states - Alaska, California, Montana, Oregon and
Washington - to provide evidence-based clinical content
software.
Providence Health & Services selected CPM as the vendor of
choice for evidence-based interdisciplinary professional practice
workflow support, including clinical documentation, care planning
and clinical practice guidelines for nurses and interdisciplinary
clinicians in order to improve overall patient care and patient
experience. CPM’s evidence-based content seamlessly interfaces with
health information technology platforms.
Providence Health & Services plans to validate and begin
using the CPM clinical content this year to support clinical
scholarship within their organization. CPM’s products will be
delivered within Providence Health & Services’ future acute
care EHR (Electronic Health Record) system, which will begin
rolling out in 2012. The organization’s Clinical Practice
Transformation Team (CPTT) will engage in reviewing and validating
the interdisciplinary content for use in an acute care setting, and
consultants from CPM’s Transformation Services team will also work
with the teams to create consistent practice adoption throughout
all areas.
The adoption of CPM’s products will help Providence Health &
Services to further achieve its organization’s goals, including
maintaining the highest clinical standards possible, reducing
variation in care delivery and empowering clinicians to practice
with the best point-of-care resources. Additionally, the
combination of the EHR platform and CPM’s product will also support
Providence Health & Services’ acute care ministries to achieve
advances in care in order to achieve nursing excellence.
With more than 25 years of experience, CPM embraces the concept
of providing a culture and professional practice framework that
consists of evidence-based clinical care solutions to assist in the
practice transformation of hospitals. Essentially, solutions are
offered to not only help standardize care across the continuum but
provide superior support to point-of-care providers throughout the
transition to ensure seamless adoption by the interdisciplinary
team and that appropriate systems are in place to meet the goals
and objectives of the facility.
