Thomson Reuters and Iatric Systems, Inc have collaborated to offer content from the Micromedex CareNotes® System integrated into the Iatric Systems Patient Discharge Module.

Hospitals use CareNotes, one of the Micromedex clinical evidence solutions from Thomson Reuters, to provide patients with educational information about all aspects of their care and health.

Iatric Systems customers can now access CareNotes content within the Patient Discharge Module allowing doctors, nurses, pharmacists and other healthcare professionals to quickly deliver important clinical discharge instructions to patients.

This solution enables healthcare providers to meet criteria outlined in the U.S. government’s Meaningful Use objectives, which require eligible healthcare professionals and hospitals to provide patients with electronic care information, including discharge instructions.

The new offering creates a fully integrated module that combines personalized post-discharge instructions and medication monitoring with the most trusted patient education content available to help clinicians provide patients with customized materials about their conditions, medications, treatments, and follow-up care.
