Increasing project visibility & accelerating time to impact

Lourdes Casao, Director of the Education Department for CHA Hollywood Presbyterian Medical Center, shared: “We are investing in Ovid across our content and technology-based workflows, to support the education department as well as assisting in the rollout of Shared Governance throughout the medical center. The Shared Governance rollout is a collaboration between our caregivers and leadership to improve patient care, streamline the work environment, and ensure the most accurate, up-to-date information is available to the care teams – Ovid Synthesis is a key element in this initiative.”

In addition to critical workflow tools, Ovid Synthesis Clinical Evidence Manager offers executive and project-level dashboards for real-time visibility into research and evidence practice across an organization. Hospitals, health systems, and educational institutions can now track ongoing research to avoid project duplication and ensure the resulting clinical practice improvements are based on the latest medical evidence and can be implemented into practice efficiently.

Impacting evidence-based practices

In addition to Sentara and HPMC, the University of Alabama at Birmingham (UAB) and other institutions have also started to leverage Ovid Synthesis Clinical Evidence Manager to expedite dissemination of critical information across organizations.

“Healthcare organizations are under pressure to improve clinical quality with increasingly limited resources, making standardized research tools that shorten the cycle between the identification of clinical problems and the execution of evidence-based solutions business-critical,” said Vikram Savkar, Senior Vice President & General Manager, Medicine Segment, Health Learning, Research & Practice business at Wolters Kluwer Health. “We’re proud to offer leading organizations, such as HPMC, UAB and Sentara Healthcare, the tools they need to make good on their commitments to optimizing care quality.”
