Provena Health Will Implement Misys Solutions To Maintain More Accurate Clinical Data And Enhance Patient Safety
Raleigh, NC - Misys Healthcare Systems , a market leader in healthcare IT, recently announced that Provena Health, a 1,800 physician health system in Illinois and Indiana will utilize Misys products to improve patient safety at the point of care and maintain more accurate data via instant access to electronic medical records. To encourage wide-spread adoption among its affiliated physician group, Alliance Health, and to alleviate costs associated with implementation and support, Provena has agreed to host Misys EMR and Misys Tiger through Provena Saint Joseph Medical Center in Joliet, Ill. As a complement to the clinical capabilities of Misys EMR for physician practices, Provena Health has also purchased Misys Homecare , which will be used among its network of home health nurses.
"Automating and deploying clinical and practice management solutions is an important first step in connecting healthcare communities, reducing costs and improving patient care," said R.L. (Vern) Davenport, executive vice president and general manager of Misys Healthcare Systems. "Provena and Alliance Health caregivers are demonstrating a real commitment to improving healthcare in their region and we are very pleased to be their partner of choice."
Provena Health and affiliated Alliance Health physicians and medical executives will use Misys EMR to improve and expedite the care process by having access to patient data at their finger tips, across all care settings. Misys EMR, which integrates with Misys Payerpath capabilities for billing and claims transactions, will allow Southwestern Chicago area physicians to more accurately and efficiently document care delivery and results, a key component of pay for performance initiatives.
"Having more than 20 years experience using Misys clinical tools, I am confident that Misys EMR will provide the platform that our physicians need to improve clinical and practice workflows for optimal patient care," said Lon H. McPherson, M.D., Chief Medical Officer, Provena Saint Joseph Medical Center. "Provena and Alliance Health selected Misys EMR for its comprehensive functionality and seamless integration with practice management and billing solutions in a user-friendly format. Additionally, several of our affiliated physicians already use Misys within their own practices and have experienced the benefits first-hand."
The Misys EMR solution for electronic medical records enables physicians to capture and store patient information through interfaces that support integration with various clinical systems, medical devices, transcription systems and other document repositories. Misys Tiger is an integrated practice management solution that streamlines front and back office workflow for small-to-medium sized physician practices. By integrating seamlessly into a common platform, the two solutions give medical practices numerous benefits that improve access to patient data, generate more accurate billing, insurance claims and reimbursements, and enhance record-keeping and reporting capabilities.
