North American healthcare providers and their patients will benefit from improved clinical decision making and triage thanks to a partnership announced today between Healthwise, Inc., and Capita Healthcare Decisions. The partnership will support the delivery of health content and patient education solutions across North America.
Healthwise, a trusted resource for up-to-date, evidence-based information, is a non-profit organisation that partners with hospitals and health systems, health plans, care management companies, and health websites to empower patients and achieve better health outcomes.
Capita Healthcare Decisions’ Salus Universal solution is a powerful patient engagement and relationship platform that manages patient encounters and presents content in a modern, user-friendly way so that clinicians can make efficient and effective assessments. Salus Universal is now integrated with Healthwise solutions to help inform clinical decision making, patient education and information delivery, patient outreach and clinical triage; ultimately enabling healthcare providers to better meet the needs of patients.
Together, Healthwise and Capita Healthcare Decisions will offer consistent, accurate and timely information to healthcare professionals across North America.
Tracey Francis, Managing Director, Capita Healthcare Decisions, said: “Our partnership with Healthwise represents a very exciting opportunity to help healthcare systems in North America serve patients by providing the right information with an appealing and simple user experience. We look forward to working with Healthwise and improving health outcomes.”
