| HeartSuite CVIS allows you to spend more time with your patients and less time on paperwork. CVIS also allows you to access patient information from anywhere. |
HeartSuite VERICIS® for Cardiac Cath is designed to address the clinical and administrative challenges you face in today’s health care environment. By creating a complete digital record of images and reports for the cath lab patient, HeartSuite VERICIS can be a significant factor in helping you optimize departmental workflow, improve productivity, overcome staffing shortages, increase referrals, and control costs.
With HeartSuite VERICIS for Cardiac Cath, you can:
- Eliminate film and paper-based processes
- Reduce time-consuming and redundant tasks, including cine film handling, data entry, archiving and transcription
- Streamline access to patient studies and reports
- Decrease report turnaround time
- Provide better service to referring physicians and patients
- Integrate all cardiovascular data on a single information management system
Here’s how:
Prior to the exam—everything in the right place
The HeartSuite VERICIS system begins improving productivity well before the patient arrives in the department. By integrating with HeartSuite CVIS or directly to your Hospital Information System (HIS) and networks across your enterprise, HeartSuite VERICIS is able to:
- Create a worklist of pending exams
- Automatically pre-fetch the patient’s previous multi-modality studies
- Provide access to patient data from physician offices, including history, lab reports, and medications
Excellent image quality—from flat panel and conventional labs
We have great experience when it comes to optimizing the display of angiographic images. From the Video Plus™ line of digital imaging systems, to early work as a technology partner with the developers of today’s flat panel labs, we have been a leader in cath lab imaging. Leveraging this experience, HeartSuite VERICIS for Cardiac Cath is able to:
- Connect to any new or existing cath lab
- Provide the ideal connectivity solution—direct DICOM, DICOM gateway or video capture—based upon the output capabilities of your existing lab(s)
- Properly process the variable pixel matrices from today’s flat panel labs for optimized image presentation
Reviewing studies—sophisticated tools right at hand
When images are automatically transferred to the server during the exam, they can be seen immediately at HeartSuite VERICIS cardiac workstations throughout the department. A physician can literally begin reviewing images—with in-lab image quality—before the patient is off the table. HeartSuite VERICIS workstations are among the best in the industry, providing:
- Superior image display on ultra-bright, diagnostic-quality single or dual monitors
- An array of sophisticated image enhancement and measurement tools including calipers, real-time edge enhancement, interpolated pan and zoom, annotation and more
- Export of de-identified still-frame and dynamic images for presentations and teaching files
- User-friendly operation, with an intuitive graphical user interface and our RATT™ Dynamic Review Control
- Integrated software packages for automatic QCA and LVA analysis and DSA image enhancement
- Instant access to multi-modality studies and reports—including studies from radiology PACS
Generate and distribute reports—before the patient leaves recovery
HeartSuite VERICIS reduces report turnaround time and provides immediate access to results from anywhere. It eliminates dictation, transcription and paper-based reporting and its associated delays, errors and costs by:
- Combining image review and reporting into a single session at one workstation
- Pre-populating reports with demographic, procedural, hemodynamic and quantitative data from HeartSuite Hemodynamics and other hemodynamic systems
- Providing a comprehensive knowledge base of findings that minimizes typing and creates more consistent and complete reports
Communication and data accessibility—better service to all internal and external customers
HeartSuite VERICIS streamlines and improves communication—within your lab, with other hospital departments and with referring physicians by:
- Enabling real-time expert consultations, even with off-site physicians
- Providing secure Web access to studies and reports from virtually any PC
- Automating distribution of reports to referring physicians and the hospital information system
- Enabling inclusion of images and anatomical diagrams in reports
The knowledge to improve clinical and economic outcomes
All patient information in HeartSuite VERICIS clinical reports—from demographics and history to images and hemodynamic data—flows into a common database.
In addition to generating your patients’ individual digital records, this powerful database can be mined for clinical outcomes analysis, disease management, and operational assessment.
As an American College of Cardiology certified vendor, we simplify your lab’s participation in the ACC National Cardiovascular Data Registry (ACC-NCDR CathPCI) with our HeartSuite VERICIS ACC-NCDR CathPCI export module. As physicians document their findings with VERICIS Clinical Reporting, the elements necessary for registry submissions are automatically collected, making it easier than ever before to benchmark your lab’s performance.
