Zynx Health Partners with McKesson to Optimize Order Set Deployment

Los Angeles, June 22, 2015 - Zynx Health announced today the release of an exclusive integration between ZynxOrder® and Paragon® Hospital Information System release 13 from McKesson that makes order set management easy through automated content synchronization. This intuitive solution eliminates common integration challenges including time-consuming file-based uploads. 

Hospitals and health systems using both solutions can now optimize their order set build and maintenance in ZynxOrder and then immediately export the order set content directly to Paragon with the click of a button. This streamlined process alleviates the excessive time and resource strains normally associated with the multiple steps and manual file uploads required by traditional content-integration methods.

A common challenge the industry has faced with order set deployment is lack of integration with electronic health records.  While customers find value in evidence-based order sets, the duplication and resource constraints related to traditional content guidance solutions lead to suboptimal functionality and usability.

ZynxOrder editing and collaboration tools such as AuthorSpace® and ViewSpace® simplify usability and expedite deployment of order sets through defined workflows that enable clinicians to provide feedback and participate throughout the development process. By integrating ZynxOrder and Paragon, the instant exchange of content between the systems is facilitated in two ways: content built in ZynxOrder can be pushed to Paragon, and Paragon catalog terms can be pushed to ZynxOrder - all with a single click. 

"This first integration between ZynxOrder and Paragon for full interoperability improves productivity and other operational efficiencies by significantly reducing manual input and eliminating duplicate efforts when building and deploying order sets," said Bertina Yen, M.D., M.P.H., executive vice-president of the product group at Zynx Health. "Streamlining this process delivers critical evidence-based content to the point of care faster to help clinicians reduce risk, and decrease decision uncertainty and practice variability."
