CVIS Clinical Advantages

CVIS Removes Silos of Patient Information

Data collected during the diagnosis and treatment of cardiovascular disease often spans multiple departments or facilities. Charting the progress of cardiovascular disease requires numerous tests, many of which are performed multiple times on the same patient. Quick access to that data for evaluation and comparison is of significant clinical value.

A highly integrated cardiovascular information system (CVIS) that includes imaging, structured reporting, ECG management and hemodynamic monitoring can provide you with several benefits, such as:

• A single database containing the complete cardiac electronic medical record (EMR)
• One time point of care data entry
• Availability of data to all system modules without the need for interfaces
• Patient-centric workflow

Provide Easier Access to Patient Data

Just as important as data collection is the availability and dissemination of the cardiac patient's health information, regardless of where it was captured.

A CVIS containing a patient-centric cardiac electronic medical record helps manage patient information throughout the care process, further improving the quality of care and patient safety by simplifying the flow of information, reducing errors and enhancing accuracy and outcomes.

Patient history, images, waveforms, reports and other important patient information helps you make confident decisions regarding patient care. Faster reporting capabilities also leads to quicker diagnoses and treatment. Armed with this complete data, you can make optimal, confident patient care decisions - right at the point of care.

CVIS Improves Patient Management

The need for improved quality, patient safety and efficiency in clinical care delivery is constantly increasing. As cardiovascular disease reaches epidemic proportions, your team is managing more patients than ever before. In addition, continuing advancements in diagnostic tools and techniques has lead to rapid growth in the volume of patient data.

A CVIS can help you improve the quality and safety of patient care by:

• Enhancing the continuity of patient care
• Improving communication between providers
• Tracking results and best practices
• Providing clinical correlation between various tests and exams

IT That Supports Hospital Goals

Providing quality healthcare and wellness promotion to the community is a vital function of any hospital. Making the commitment to IT technology sends a message to your community that you are dedicated to providing the best possible healthcare to your patients.

With information more readily available throughout the enterprise, along with a reduction in manual tasks, exams take less time. Patient wait times may also decrease, leading to a more enjoyable patient experience.
