Stanson enterprise decision support coming to Adventist Health

In other implementations, Singing River selects Mediscribes as its dictation and transcription vendor.


Here is Health Data Management’s weekly roundup of new health IT contract wins and go-lives:

Florida-based Adventist Heath, with 46 hospitals across nine states, is expanding use of clinical decision support products from Stanson Health into an enterprisewide offering to clinicians. New components include a library of well-curated clinical interventions to aid clinicians in choosing medication and lab tests, imaging decision support that does not require indication entry or re-entry of data from the electronic health record, and data analytics. “Our providers have responded really well to Stanson’s clinical decision support because it uses patient-specific clinical data from the chart to make recommendations,” says Shelly Nash, MD, chief medical information officer for ambulatory solutions. “It presents to them in their workflow as a helpful, actionable ‘nudge’ and we’ve seen great follow rates and adherence to the guidance.”



Singing River Health System on the Mississippi Gulf Coast, comprising Singing River Hospital and Ocean Springs Hospital, has picked Mediscribes as its new cloud-hosted dictation and transcription vendor. Affiliated community medical clinics also will get the software. Deep Learning and Natural Language Processing technology puts operational data in the hands of clinicians to help identify patients at risk, patterns in disease and treatment outcomes. The delivery system has one of the largest emergency departments in the state, serving more than 100,000 patients annually.
