Zynx Health and eClinicalWorks announced a partnership to provide Zynx AmbulatoryCare order sets to eClinicalWorks clients

Zynx Health, the leader in evidence-based healthcare, and eClinicalWorks, a market leader in ambulatory clinical systems, announced a partnership to provide Zynx AmbulatoryCareTM order sets to eClinicalWorks clients. The evidence-based content will provide an out-of-the-box solution to help eClinicalWorks clients improve quality of care and succeed in performance measure programs.

“We have a long-standing relationship with both eClinicalWorks and Zynx, making this partnership especially exciting for us,” said Dr. Richard Lopes, senior vice president of clinical transformation for Sisters of Charity of Leavenworth Health System. “Having the order sets that Zynx provides available directly through the eClinicalWorks EMR is in line with the goal of our ambulatory electronic health records initiative, which is to enhance care delivery and improve access to care and health information.”

Through this partnership, Zynx order sets were built directly into the eClinicalWorks EMR, and are available for immediate use by eClinicalWorks clients. This integration greatly reduces the time and resources needed to build and maintain order sets, and will help ensure that clinicians are providing care in line with the latest evidence and performance measures. Under the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act (ARRA), providers will be reimbursed for demonstrating “meaningful use” of an EMR system.

“The new features in eClinicalWorks Version 8 made order sets a key part of clinical workflow,” said Scott Weingarten, MD, MPH, president and CEO of Zynx. “The fully integrated library of order sets from Zynx will help eClinicalWorks clients take advantage of this new EHR functionality. Evidence-based clinical decision support, such as order sets, is becoming increasingly important as physician practices work to demonstrate ‘meaningful use’ of EHRs.”

“eClinicalWorks offers its customers the latest technologies to help improve patient care, through both its solutions and its partners,” said Girish Kumar Navani, CEO and co-founder of eClinicalWorks. “Using Zynx with our EMR/PM system will offer providers additional resources in line with the latest performance measures.”

Zynx Health’s outpatient order sets cover more than 100 topics, with a focus on improving chronic disease management, health maintenance, and acute care. Zynx clinicians use a transparent, rigorous, reproducible methodology to create content, and to provide quarterly updates as the evidence changes.
