Trinity Mother Frances Health System Selects ProVation MD and RN Software for Gastroenterology Procedure Documentation and Coding Compliance.

MINNEAPOLIS -- ProVation(R) Medical announced today that Trinity Mother Frances Health System has selected its ProVation MD and RN software for physician and nursing procedure documentation and coding compliance. The Health System will use the software at its Digestive Disease Center in Tyler, TX.

ProVation(R) MD software for multi-specialty procedure documentation and coding compliance replaces the current dictation/transcription approach and streamlines the coding and billing process. Driven by deep medical content, ProVation MD allows clinicians to quickly and completely document medical procedures and apply the appropriate CPT and ICD codes, as well as CCI edits. ProVation RN software for nursing documentation provides complete nursing notes configurable to the unique reporting needs of each medical facility.

In April 2005, Mother Frances Hospital was named one of the nation's top performance improvement leader (PIL) hospitals by Solucient, a leading provider of strategic business and clinical information for the health care industry. Its Digestive Disease Center is one of the most technologically advanced in its region, with more than 100 years of combined physician experience and the region's only GI facility with photodynamic therapy technology.

"Our management and employees have worked extremely hard to elevate patient care and efficiency at Mother Frances Hospital to meet and exceed national performance improvement standards," said John Moore, public information officer, Trinity Mother Frances Health System. "We have done so in part by embracing technological advancements - like ProVation software - which reduce administrative steps and streamline workflows, allowing us to focus more valuable time and resources on the delivery of patient care."
