Summa Health System Selects ProVation Software for Cardiology Procedure Documentation and Coding Compliance

MINNEAPOLIS--(Business Wire)--
Wolters Kluwer Health, a leading global provider of information for healthcare
professionals and students, announced today that Summa Health System has
selected ProVation MD software for Cardiology procedure documentation and
coding. Summa Health will use the software to document and code catheterization
cases at its three cardiac catheterization labs at Summa Akron City Hospital.

ProVation MD software for procedure documentation and coding compliance replaces
dictation/transcription and streamlines the coding and billing process. Unlike
Cardiovascular Information Systems (CVIS), which collect patient measurements
and administrative data, ProVation MD lets clinicians quickly and completely
document medical procedures at the point of care, then applies the appropriate
reimbursement codes to drive compliance and revenue recovery. ProVation MD
interfaces with cardiovascular nursing, imaging and measurement systems to
complete the electronic documentation process and free busy cardiologists and
technologists from time-consuming dictation.

Serving more than 1.3 million people across 14 hospital and medical center
locations, Summa Health System is one of the largest organized delivery systems
in Ohio. Consistently ranked as one of the best healthcare providers in the
country, Summa excels in heart, emergency, women`s health, stroke, orthopedics,
cancer and geriatric services and has been recognized by the Joint Commission
and U.S. News & World Report.

"We are pleased that such a reputable organization as Summa Health System has
chosen to implement our software solutions," said Arvind Subramanian, CEO,
Wolters Kluwer Health Clinical Solutions and ProVation Medical.

"Summa Health System is committed to providing patients with the highest quality
cardiac care," he continued. "This means not only using the most advanced
clinical techniques, but also employing software like ProVation MD, which
streamlines the documentation workflow for cardiologists and drives revenue
recovery through complete, compliant coding."
