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.” ​
