Visitors to the Wolters Kluwer exhibit can learn how to overcome interoperability barriers to deliver the actionable, evidence-based knowledge clinicians need to improve care outcomes in today’s value-based healthcare environment.
“HIMSS provides the perfect backdrop to display the technologies that unlock the power of information to drive delivery of cost-effective, high-quality care,” said Diana Nole, CEO of Wolters Kluwer Health. “Our suite of solutions addresses some of provider and payer organizations’ highest priorities, including identifying and resolving variability in patient care and unnecessary expenditures, and enabling evaluation of clinical practices and quality across the enterprise — all of which lead to improved clinical decisions for higher quality care and enhanced patient outcomes.”
Wolters Kluwer will feature four distinct solution areas spanning the care continuum, including:
