The Ann Arbor-based health care business of Thomson Reuters Monday announced it is working with Burlington, Mass.-based HealthGate Data Corp. on a new document lifecycle management application for its medical order set system.
The Thomson Reuters system provides evidence-based order sets with more than 900 titles for 280 medical conditions. For hospitals, the enhanced Order Set Solution will streamline and accelerate order set management and governance -- the creation, review, management and updating of clinical order set content. Hospitals can use the enhanced solution to tailor evidence-based order set content to their own institutional protocols.
The new enhanced system adds capabilities for managing Thomson Reuters Order Set content as well as common document types. By providing versioning controls, alerts, collaboration, and review tools, the enhanced solution will streamline the governance, control, and updating processes necessary for effective order set use, simplifying the management of reviewer feedback and the incorporation of clinical changes, greatly reducing the time and effort required for effective order set management.
"This offering combines the strength of two outstanding products to give hospitals a flexible, intuitive order set management tool," said Thomas Hegelund, executive vice president of the health care business of Thomson Reuters. "We chose HealthGate for its superior document lifecycle management technology and experience with hospitals and healthcare systems."
Thomson Reuters provides more than 3,000 hospitals in the United States with clinical and management decision support.
