Fully qualified as a CDSM by the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services, MedCurrent's OrderWise guides ordering providers through clinical decision pathways to help them seamlessly order the right diagnostic imaging tests for their patients. In the U.S., OrderWise incorporates diagnostic imaging guidelines from Intermountain Healthcare (IH), the National Comprehensive Cancer Network (NCCN), and the American College of Cardiology (ACC) Foundation?all qualified provider-led entities.

"This partnership means that CMS Imaging customers now have access to a qualified clinical decision support solution that enables more appropriate care while meeting the regulatory requirements", said John Adziovsky, CEO of MedCurrent. "We're very excited to be working with CMS Imaging as their proven track record in the medical imaging space and dedication to customer service is a key driver to ensuring that customers are successful in their CDS journey."
