Deaconess Health System joined Indiana Lieutenant Governor
Suzanne Crouch, Evansville Mayor Lloyd Winnecke, state lawmakers and health
care leaders on Monday to announce the successful integration of INSPECT into
the hospital’s electronic health records (EHR). The integration is the first of
its kind in the state utilizing Appriss Health’s PMP Gateway to shorten the
data search time from minutes to seconds, creating a quick and efficient
process for prescribers during every patient encounter. “At Deaconess, we are
committed to the prevention of prescription drug misuse and abuse in our
patient population,” said Dr. Gina Huhnke, Director Medical Affairs and
Emergency Medicine at Deaconess. “Integrating INSPECT information into daily
workflow ensures prescribers at Deaconess will more often, and more easily,
access this valuable prescription monitoring data to make better informed
clinical decisions to better ensure patient safety. We look forward to working
with the State of Indiana and Appriss Health on these important efforts.”
