Cognitive Medical Systems, a clinical decision support provider, and Motive Medical Intelligence, a clinical workflow software provider, will help the U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs implement clinical decision support over the next year.
Cognitive Medical Systems and Motive Medical Intelligence will work with prime contractor B3 Group to support the VA's Office of Knowledge Based Systems. The Office of Knowledge Based Systems has poured $22 million into the clinical decision support initiative, which will integrate clinical guidelines, computerized alerts and patient dashboards directly into the VA's EHR.
"This contract will help to move the VA and the entire healthcare community towards standardization of clinical content and interoperable systems, thereby reducing costs for payers and increasing healthcare outcomes for patients," said Brad Palmer, founder and COO of B3 Group.
