MINNEAPOLIS — ProVation Medical(R), Inc. announced today that Tucson Orthopaedic Surgery Center has chosen its ProVation(R) MD procedure documentation and coding compliance software for use in both Orthopaedic and Pain Management cases.

ProVation(R) MD software for multi-specialty procedure documentation and coding compliance replaces the inefficient dictation/transcription approach 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.

Specializing in foot and ankle, hand and arthroscopic surgeries, as well as pain management, Tucson Orthopaedic Surgery Center performs more than 5,000 procedures on an annual basis. The state-of-the-art facility, with four fully equipped and staffed operating rooms, is located on the campus of Tucson Medical Center. The surgery center is jointly owned by Tucson Orthopaedic Institute and Tucson Medical Center.

“We are committed to the development of tools and refinement of techniques that allow us to deliver the best care possible to our patients,” said Stuart Katz, Administrator, Tucson Orthopaedic Surgery Center. “We have also embraced technological solutions like the ProVation software, which establishes efficient, streamlined workflows and ensures that procedure documentation is complete and coding is compliant.”

“For any medical facility, the ability to perform efficiently, code compliantly and charge accurately for specialty procedures is critical to success,” said Mark Wagner, Chief Executive Officer, ProVation Medical, Inc. “Tucson Orthopaedic Surgery Center’s selection of ProVation MD confirms that our software plays an integral role not only for hospitals and teaching facilities, but for the rapidly growing number of U.S. Ambulatory Surgery Centers.”
