New CDS^PLUS from Anvita Health Provides

All Stage One Meaningful Use Quality Measures

For Real-Time Use

Value-add features include path to Meaningful Use Stages 2 and 3, and

Prioritized Active Problem List with Active Medications and Labs

Orlando, FL, HIMSS, Feb. 20, 2011 - Anvita Health today introduced CDS^PLUS™, an advanced real-time clinical decision support solution that includes all 44 meaningful use (MU) clinical quality measures for eligible professionals, and delivers an at-a-glance in-depth view of the patient's current medical profile.

The Anvita Health CDS^PLUS solution, available now, calculates the MU quality measures at a patient level in sub-second time, or on a population basis in minutes to hours, depending on the patient volume and additional analysis criteria.

Key Differentiator: CDS^PLUS Leverages All Available Clinical Data to Generate Actionable Intelligence

The Anvita Health CDS^PLUS solution is superior to other MU analytics solutions due to its ability to use all forms of clinical data, including lab values, medical and pharmacy claims, electronic health record data, and more, to create a truly comprehensive and timely profile of a patient's condition.

Clinical data is translated into the Anvita Health Smart Problem List™. The Smart Problem List goes beyond the MU requirement of an active problem list by providing a corroborated and prioritized list of active diagnoses, list of active medications, and list of current lab values.

In addition to meeting MU clinical decision support criteria, the CDS^PLUS solution also generates MU reports at a patient and population level, with provider-attributed patient results for performance measurement.

"Translating clinical data into actionable health intelligence drives better treatment decisions, and that in turn, drives better quality scores," said Anvita Health Chief Executive Officer Richard Noffsinger.

"Anvita Health has been providing true real-time clinical decision support since 2007. We appreciate and support the need for flexibility with clinical decision support, and as a result, we've built maximum flexibility into CDS^PLUS," he said.

Among the flexible features of the CDS^PLUS solution are:

• Customized rules library: Customers may choose from among the 44 clinical quality measures to use for measurement and reporting
• Supports both CCR and CCD standards to enable data and results echange to and from an EMR, EHR or an HIE network
• May be used in either a cloud-based or locally hosted environment
• Ability to ingest and normalize patient data such as lab results that are expressed in both proprietary and standard code sets
• Compiles an active problem list for a patient as well as current medications
