Cielo MedSolutions Releases First Embeddable Web Service for Clinician Prompts

Clinical care reminders driven by evidence-based guidelines can now be integrated into electronic medical record, provider portal, and other healthcare IT systems

Ann Arbor, MI (PRWEB / PRWEB) November 12, 2008 -- Cielo MedSolutions, a provider of healthcare software and web applications, today announced the addition of Web services to its Cielo Clinic™ clinical quality management system software-as-a-service (SaaS) offering. The new Web services capability is already in beta test in a multi-site, multi-specialty clinical environment.

The addition of Web services to Cielo Clinic will enable third-party software partners with applications such as electronic medical records (EMR) or provider portals to integrate Cielo's clinical decision support functionality into their application's native graphical user interface. By doing so, a third-party application can be enhanced with clinical prompt-and-remind functionality driven by Cielo Clinic's proprietary rules engine that is based on the latest in evidence-based medicine care guidelines. Clinicians using this feature will be prompted at the point-of-care regarding each patient's then-current care needs from a chronic disease management perspective.

"Many of our customers tell us they'd like to integrate our clinical prompt-and-remind solutions with other healthcare IT applications," noted Christopher King, senior vice president of product and operations. “Cielo really focused on collaborating with complementary application vendors. Now, providers and health systems can preserve their investment in EMR and other health IT solutions, while at the same time leveraging a state-of-the-art chronic disease management system."
