TORONTO (PRWEB) July 22, 2019
MedCurrent Corporation, a leader in
radiology clinical decision support (CDS) solutions, today announced a partnership with
CMS Imaging Inc., a premier healthcare solutions provider based out of South Carolina
specializing in the sales and service of diagnostic medical imaging equipment. This
partnership will see CMS Imaging distribute MedCurrent's OrderWise® clinical decision
support platform as part of its comprehensive catalogue of health informatics
solutions.
Starting January 1, 2020, ordering professionals across the US will be
required to consult CDS when ordering advanced diagnostic imaging (MR, CT, NM, PET) for
Medicare outpatients as initially set forth in the Protecting Access to Medicare Act
(PAMA, 2014). To meet the requirements of this mandate, only qualified CDS mechanisms
(CDSMs) and Appropriate Use Criteria (AUC) developed by qualified provider-led entities
(qPLEs) may be used.
Fully qualified as a CDSM by the Centers for Medicare &
Medicaid Services, MedCurrent's OrderWise guides ordering providers through clinical
decision pathways to help them seamlessly order the right diagnostic imaging tests for
their patients. In the U.S., OrderWise incorporates diagnostic imaging guidelines from
Intermountain Healthcare (IH), the National Comprehensive Cancer Network (NCCN), and the
American College of Cardiology (ACC) Foundation—all qualified provider-led
entities.
"This partnership means that CMS Imaging customers now have access to a
qualified clinical decision support solution that enables more appropriate care while
meeting the regulatory requirements", said John Adziovsky, CEO of MedCurrent. “We’re
very excited to be working with CMS Imaging as their proven track record in the medical
imaging space and dedication to customer service is a key driver to ensuring that
customers are successful in their CDS journey.”
“At CMS Imaging we pride
ourselves on providing our customers with comprehensive and best-in-class solutions.
OrderWise by MedCurrent provides our physicians with an organized and efficient solution
to improve the quality of care of their patients by ordering the correct imaging
procedures,” said Tom Pompeii, Vice President of Sales at CMS Imaging.

the Gaylord Rockies Resort in Aurora, Colorado. Please visit MedCurrent at booth #306 or
