Zynx Health is the leader in clinical order sets and decision support rules. In this podcast interview, Zynx CEO Dr. Scott Weingarten and I discuss how the rollout of the ARRA/HITECH stimulus program and the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act are reshaping health care providers and creating new opportunities for decision support companies. We touch on the following topics:

  • The connection between Accountable Care Organizations (ACOs), meaningful use, and clinical decision support
  • The complexities of clinical integration among a wide variety of affiliates
  • Progress that hospitals and physicians are making toward Stage 1 of meaningful use requirements
  • What Zynx is doing to facilitate meaningful use and ACO development
  • The degree to which order sets are evidence based (versus experience based)
  • How providers calculate return on investment and clinical impact of order sets and decision support tools
