Zynx Health, the leader in evidence-based healthcare, announced that a number of its clients have earned high rankings in a recent study conducted by the Network for Regional Healthcare Improvement (NRHI), an organization that accelerates improvement in the financial and clinical value of healthcare delivery in the United States.
The study, published in The Joint Commission Journal on Quality and Patient Safety, aimed to examine how quality differs in the most commonly measured clinical areas for health systems. More than half of the 50 top-ranked health systems license either ZynxOrder(TM), a solution used to customize and update evidence-based order sets, or ZynxCare(TM), a solution which allows users to customize and maintain interdisciplinary plans of care and bring evidence-based knowledge to clinical teams at the point of decision making.
Zynx wishes to extend special congratulations to Alegent Health, a ZynxOrder and ZynxCare client that achieved the #1 ranking in this highly competitive group. The Omaha, Nebraska-based health system has been named among the “25 Top Connected Healthcare Facilities” by Health Imaging & IT magazine, and is considered one of the most technologically advanced health systems in the nation. Guided by its strategic plan, “The Quality Revolution,” Alegent Health has sought to improve its overall quality of care and enrich the patient experience, with Zynx evidence-based decision support as a key component of this initiative.
“Alegent Health’s #1 ranking in quality is proof of an enduring commitment to patient safety and the practice of evidence-based healthcare,” said David Rhew, MD, vice president of content and client services for Zynx. “Zynx Health is proud to be the content provider of evidence-based order sets and interdisciplinary plans of care for Alegent Health.”
“This outstanding achievement reflects a commitment to the highest standard of patient care in the industry from everyone at Alegent,” said Wayne Sensor, chief executive officer of Alegent Health. “Three years ago, we set out to revolutionize patient care by openly reporting our quality scores and costs, and by partnering with Zynx to integrate evidence-based care throughout our organization. As a result, we found that our quality scores soared and patients were placed at the center of all we do. These results make it clear that we are living by our commitment.”
