ProVation® Medical, part of Wolters Kluwer Health, announced that Piedmont Gastroenterology Specialists has selected ProVation MD and ProVation MultiCaregiver software for physician and nursing procedure documentation and coding.

ProVation® MD software for multi-specialty procedure documentation and coding replaces dictation/transcription and streamlines the coding and billing process. Driven by deep medical content, ProVation MD allows clinicians to quickly and completely document medical procedures and apply the appropriate CPT and ICD codes, as well as CCI edits. ProVation MultiCaregiver software delivers multispecialty perioperative documentation, streamlining workflow by intelligently reusing data at various points while automatically retrieving data from multiple IT systems.
