Zynx Health Clients Surpass 50,000 Mark in Order Sets and Plans of Care

Posted on: Tuesday, 26 August 2008, 09:01 CDT

Zynx Health, the leader in evidence-based healthcare, announced that its more than 1,400 clients nationwide have collectively built upwards of 50,000 unique order sets and interdisciplinary plans of care.

Zynx's hospital clients use ZynxOrder(TM) to customize and maintain evidence-based order sets, and ZynxCare(TM) to customize and maintain interdisciplinary plans of care and bring evidence-based knowledge to clinical teams at the point of decision making. Zynx physicians, nurses, and allied health professionals develop and update more than 900 templates for order sets and plans of care according to a timely, rigorous analysis of the peer-reviewed literature, performance measures, and regulatory guidelines.

"Having the largest client base in the industry creates an ideal environment for collaboration," said Scott Weingarten, MD, MPH, president and chief executive officer of Zynx. "With more than 50,000 order sets and interdisciplinary plans of care, our clients have created a vast repository of collective wisdom. We are dedicated to providing our clients with the opportunity to benefit from one another's experience as they seek to improve the quality, safety, and efficiency of care."

Guided in great part by client feedback, the Zynx content team is currently at work on several initiatives to facilitate integration with vendor systems and to support rapid customization of order sets and plans of care. Zynx clients use AuthorSpace(TM), an online content management tool, to streamline the development process and reach rapid consensus on best practices. Once customized, order sets and plans of care can be deployed into the clinical workflow in either a paper-based format or through export into a clinical information system.
