Zynx Health Announces "Clinical Improvement Through Evidence" Award - Margaret Kelly - 05-08-2015
Zynx Health Announces “Clinical Improvement Through Evidence” AwardRecognizing Nurses for Clinical Decision Support Use Excellence
Zynx Health has promoted the use of CDS for nearlytwo decades, advocating the consistent use of evidence-based clinical content when many questioned the concept for being “cookbook medicine.” CDS provides healthcare professionals with relevant knowledge at appropriate times during their workflow, empowering them to make better decisions and enhance the patient’s health. With this award, Zynx Health aspires to recognize nurses who are front-line leaders in demonstrating the impact of evidence-based CDS on patient care.

Grant Campbell, M.S.N., R.N., senior director fornursing strategy and informatics at Zynx Health, explained the company’s motivation for creating the CITE award. “Clinical evidence is proven to have a dramatic impact on nursing practice and by extension both patient and family care, but incorporating this evidence into a busy nurse’s day-to-day workflow requires creativity and dedication,” he said. “That’s why we believe it’s more important now than ever to recognize and reward nurses who are truly realizing the potential of this resource to improve overall care delivery and save lives.”
Carolyn Richardson, M.S.N., M.B.A., R.N.-B.C., ZynxHealth’s regional nursing officer, added, “Every day nurses are making extraordinary contributions to improvingcare through the innovative and proactive use of CDS. The CITE award offers an opportunity to share their accomplishments with their nursing peers and the healthcare community at large. Our hope is that other provider organizations will learn from these dedicated award recipients to adapt CDS more effectively to achieve similar outcomes.”
Applicants can use this link to submit nominations. The deadline to submit is 5p.m. EDT on Monday, June 15. Zynx Healthwill announce the winners the week of July 20.
