~ Seamless Integration into Dynamic Health™ Combines Policies and Procedures for Healthcare Professionals ~

IPSWICH, Mass. — October 8, 2019 — EBSCO Information Services (EBSCO) has partnered with MCN Healthcare to seamlessly integrate skills and procedures content from Dynamic Health™ into the MCN platform. Dynamic Health is EBSCO's evidence-based resource designed to help nurses and allied health professionals master critical skills. MCN provides custom policy content, document management software and compliance expertise to healthcare organizations.

With the integration of Dynamic Health procedure content, MCN offers a complete solution to the policy and procedure processes, allowing healthcare organizations to save valuable time, money and resources on creation and upkeep of their digital policy and procedure repository.

Policy and procedure creation, upkeep and management are significant challenges faced by health systems and providers. The ability to access policies in an easy, streamlined manner is a vital step in the healthcare process. This access helps facilities meet state laws and regulations, federal healthcare requirements, Joint Commission and NIAHO standards, CMS and other accreditation requirements.

EBSCO Information Services Chief Nursing Officer Diane Hanson says this relationship reinforces EBSCO’s commitment to supporting evidence-based nursing practice and reducing care variation. “The integration of skills and procedures content into a resource like MCN makes it easy for providers to meet regulatory compliance and shift their focus to providing meaningful patient care.
