Andover, MA (PRWEB) September 24, 2013 -- National Decision Support Company (NDSC) has entered into an agreement with TransformativeMed, a publisher of EMR-connected smart health apps, to provide seamless integration of ACR Select into Cerner Millennium as part of it’s Smart Medicine portfolio. ACR Select’s clinical content provides structured reasons for radiology procedures at the point-of-order and guides clinicians to the most appropriate imaging orders based on American College of Radiology (ACR) Appropriateness Criteria®.
TransformativeMed’s integration capability enables physicians to utilize the ACR Select decision support content within their existing PowerChart ordering workflow. “Integration of imaging guidelines at the point-of-order, directly within the EMR workflow is a cornerstone to improving the quality of imaging orders,” said Bob Cooke, VP of Marketing, NDSC. “TransformativeMed’s solution provides an optimal experience with our content and Cerner’s EMR.”
TransformativeMed has been successfully providing best-in-class healthcare apps for years. “We enable better care by connecting innovative and impactful solutions to the clinical data and workflow that is otherwise locked inside the EMR. We are excited to offer the ability for Cerner users to access ACR Select,” said David Stone, CEO of TransformativeMed.
TransformativeMed will leverage the company’s extensive experience with Cerner’s Application Programming Interfaces (API’s) to provide the best-possible decision support workflow for physicians, including integrated analytics, in order to maximize the impact of ACR Select content. “We are pleased to be working with TransformativeMed,” said Michael Mardini, CEO, NDSC. “This new relationship allows us to continue our world-changing mission of delivering ‘smart medicine’ through broad access to ‘national standard’ imaging guidelines.”
