Wolters Kluwer Clinical Effectiveness - sharing thought leadership across healthcare segments.

The standardization of quality care can be achieved through a consistent source of evidence-based information. This consistency can also create operational efficiency and capacity through a reduction in medication errors and readmissions.

Every patient deserves the best healthcare - no matter where they are in their journey. Simultaneously, every healthcare professional strives to deliver the best possible care to their patients that are backed by solid evidence. In this webinar we will discuss how UpToDate®, Lexicomp® and Medi-Span clinical can help you achieve better quality care, increase patient safety, and deliver efficient healthcare services.

Standardization of quality care

Clinicians need more support than ever. To support increasingly busy clinicians, we’ve created a new generation in clinical decision support—UpToDate® Advanced. This solution helps clinicians to make faster, safe decisions by providing an extra level of expert guidance amidst uncertainty or complex cases.

We developed UpToDate Advanced to address clinician knowledge gaps, which we identified by analysing search data from UpToDate-used in over half of NHS acute Trusts.

Evidence-based decision trees guide users through critical decision points in each topic pathway. These features follow clinician logic and seek to help clinicians consider all factors before recording decisions in the EPR. Guides to abnormal test results, for example, provide clinicians actionable recommendations when the next steps are unclear after diagnostic testing.
 
Take a look at UpToDate Advanced in our demo.

Presenters:
- Dr. Steve Jackson, Chief Medical Information Officer & Consultant in Diabetes and Endocrinology, University Hospitals of Leicester NHS Trust
- Cheryl Trigg, Senior Sales Manager, UK & Ireland, Clinical Effectiveness, Wolters Kluwer
- Rebecca Ryan, International Product Marketing Manager, Clinical Effectiveness, Wolters Kluwer

Live Webinar: Improve patient safety with drug screening in the EMR

In this webinar we will discuss how evidence-based clinical decision support tools like UpToDate and Lexicomp can help hospitals meet accreditation standards.

From quality directors to nurses and heads of departments, everyone in a hospital is responsible for meeting high quality standards that ensure delivery of safe, patient centred care.

Customer success lead Marwa Salem will show how UpToDate and Lexicomp content maps to JCI quality standards and explain why hospitals should be using clinical decision support to drive adherence to clinical guidelines and standardise care practices. 

We will hear from Mediclinic Dubai’s patient safety officer Jim Salvador and unit manager Maggie Gargan about how Lexicomp was used in the JCI reaccreditation process to meet medication management standards and reduce errors.

How CDS resources help to maintain JCI and quality standards

Webinar Preview: Every October, the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS) publishes an update to the Star Ratings for Medicare Part C & D plans. This update serves as an annual “check-up” on how well the Medicare program is working to improve quality of care for the millions of enrollees in the program. During this webinar, the speakers will review the medication-related quality measures in the Star Ratings, specific performance trends, and measures that may become Display measures or new Star Rating measures for future calendar years. Additionally, participants will hear about updates to Pharmacy Quality Alliance (PQA)-endorsed measures included in Part D quality programs and highlights on new measure concepts in PQA’s development pipeline.

Stop Variations in Care – Align Clinical Decisions

Join Eric Henry, Clinical Content Specialist focused on the domestic drug file with Clinical Effectiveness at Wolters Kluwer, Heath, in a 45-minute live webinar to discuss:

•The potential impact of biosimilars at this tipping point in the pharmaceutical industry

•Prescription workflow best practices for small and large molecule biosimilars
•Issues raised by retrospective naming and products without suffixes

The RxPerts Academy from Wolters Kluwer wants to help you better understand the impact of biosimilar naming conventions. Despite their potential to save the U.S. healthcare system billions of dollars, the widespread adoption of biosimilars has been slow, due to complexities in approving, naming, standardizing, and reporting on these new products.
