Cardiovascular Information System

Patient records impact every aspect of cardiology operations, from quality of care, patient satisfaction and workflow efficiency to reimbursement management.

Clinical records are critical to everyone involved in patient care. The case team preparing for a cardiac intervention has a vital need for single point of access to a complete set of timely clinical information in advance of the case. The clinic and inpatient service physician requires access to the same set of timely clinical information in order to manage the patient’s case most effectively. The practice or referring clinical staff would like timely reference to results to optimize their care of patients. This strongly suggests that all cardiovascular clinical records need to be stored in one logical location and be accessible by any person with an authorized need to know from anywhere at any time.

HeartSuite CVIS provides this single point of access to the patient’s complete set of cardiovascular clinical records – the patient’s current status as well as historical cardiovascular care events and their results. The unique value for those persons providing patient care is that they have access to the current state of patient care along with all results from previous cardiac events through one screen. This means all relevant patient data is available at their "finger tips"; the data is always available and time involved in pulling past records is dramatically reduced.
