Winona Health System is a locally owned and operated nonprofit organization whose primary mission is to meet the lifelong healthcare needs of the Winona, Minnesota, regional community. Currently, Winona has more than 50 physicians in 13 specialties, 925 staff members, and 300 volunteers serve the community’s healthcare needs through Winona Health’s affiliates.
“We chose Zynx because of the access to evidence-based content that can be incorporated directly into the Power Plans as a source of information for our medical staff. The ability to include CMS measures and also the recommendations of other standards groups was also important. The ability to publish the plans for comment by the staff and to use Zynx internal messages and tasks was also helpful in the process. We completed our initial CPOE go-live for our emergency department in September 2007 and have started on the building process for the rest of the hospital by September 2008.”
William Davis, MD, Chief Medical Informatics Officer

"The clinical leadership at Ascension Health, working in concert with our IT colleagues, did a thorough investigation of potential partners for realizing the benefits of evidence based care processes across our ministries. The capacity to create, manage, modify, measure and collaborate on rules, order-sets, and care plans executable in a variety of clinical information delivery solutions was fundamental for us. There was no doubt in our minds that these capabilities, along with the dedication and innovation at Hearst, made our choice of Zynx Health obvious."

“An Evidence-based Medicine Approach to Order Set Development” Mike Gorczynski, DO, Director, Medical Informatics
HealthEast Care System is the largest health care provider in the Twin Cities’ East Metro area. From prevention to cure, HealthEast meets the needs of the community with a blend of traditional medicine and integrative therapies.
"The HealthEast Care System has set as goal to become the benchmark for quality care for the Twin Cities by the year 2010 and has identified evidence-based order sets as one of the key enablers in achieving this goal. We considered internal development of order sets but quickly came to the conclusion that the costs would be prohibitive compared to that of leveraging content from a third-party vendor. After a thorough review of the market we chose Zynx Health as the provider of evidence-based content for our order sets based on a number of factors that set them apart from the field: 1) Sheer number of order sets provided and conditions covered; 2) inclusion of nursing plans of care associated with their order sets, an element deemed as key to achieving HealthEast’s 2010 quality goals; and 3) the inclusion of an online order set development tool (AuthorSpace), also seen as key to our goal of rapid-cycle order set development and review."
Brian D. Patty, MD, FAAEM, Chief Medical Informatics Officer

Methodist Health System is the oldest, not-for-profit healthcare system in Nebraska and Southwestern Iowa. It was created in 1982 by Methodist Hospital leaders as a health network to better meet the needs of the people they served.
"Our hospital began using the Zynx tools to build physician order sets a couple of years ago. The content has always been outstanding, but we also needed a tool to facilitate physician collaboration in building the order sets. Now with the AuthorSpace functionality, we don't have to ask our physicians to physically attend a series of meetings and we have an easy way to catalogue and maintain our order sets. Zynx's product development team has been very responsive to our needs."
Mike Kroeger, MD, Director of Medical Informatics
