Meet Meaningful Use With the Healthwise Solution

MU Requirement	The Healthwise Solution
For Hospitals and Eligible Professionals (EPs)
Patient-specific information Use certified EHR technology to identify, deliver, and record patient-specific health information appropriate for that clinical encounter	Healthwise works with many EHR vendors to successfully integrate our patient instructions. We make it easy for you to deliver patient-specific health education. More than 2,500 patient instructions cover more specific episodes of care than anyone. Each patient instruction is directly mapped to specific topics in our extensive online health encyclopedia. We provide a standards-based message that you can use to automatically record the patient-specific education materials in the encounter record.
Electronic health information Provide patients with access to an electronic copy of their health information, including test results, medication lists, discharge summaries, information on procedures, and more	Healthwise worked with early adopters who pioneered sharing medical data electronically with patients. While access to medical records was beneficial to patients, a potential problem was discovered: increases in phone calls and non-reimbursable visits from patients who don't understand the medical terminology and their test results. Healthwise developed contextually aware health content that can be automatically mapped to a patient's health data, specific to every care episode. We use diagnostic and procedure codes, keywords, and information entered by clinicians to match content to the patient's needs. As a result, patients have easy access to the health content they need to answer their basic questions.
For Hospitals
Discharge instructions Provide patients with a copy of care instructions at the time of discharge, upon request	Most discharge instructions are confusing and full of medical jargon, at least from the patient's point of view. Healthwise® Ix® Patient Instructions are different. They're written in clear, plain language. They're designed to fit within discharge instructions to support patient understanding and reduce basic questions and unnecessary readmits. They tell the patient what to do at home and when to call a doctor. They are consistent with our health content across your enterprise, from the EMR, the PHR, or your website providing a standard of care for patient education.
For EPs
Clinical summaries Provide clinical summaries for each office visit	Adding Healthwise Ix Patient Instructions will enhance your clinical or after-visit summaries. They explain what a patient needs to do after a clinical encounter, including when to call a doctor. They're designed to fit within or attach to clinical summaries, and they're consistent with our heath content across your enterprise. They increase patient satisfaction by making patients more confident in taking care of themselves at home. They will lower your call volume by answering the basic questions that most patients have after a doctor visit.
