Application modules - VisualCARDIOLOGY

VisualCARDIOLOGY is an electronic medical record and clinical order entry and decision-support module designed for use by physicians and ancillary staff caring for cardiology patients in the CCU and ambulatory care environments.

VisualCARDIOLOGY eliminates manual, paper-based documentation and order entry and gives cardiologists and cardiothoracic surgeons a comprehensive view of their patients’ progress. Each patient record is updated in real-time with laboratory and nursing input so the most current information is always at hand. Charts can never be misplaced and all members of the medical team have concurrent access to the same information.

Diagnosis-based order sets for acute MI, decompensated congestive heart failure, and endocarditis, among others, can be prescribed with just one keystroke. Prescriptions are legible and dosages are calculated on the basis of individual patient parameters. VisualCARDIOLOGY dynamically reviews all prescriptions and suggests alternative courses of therapy based on local practice standards. Physician prescriptions are transmitted directly to the Medication Administration Record, care plan and hospital pharmacy. Cardiac imaging including real-time cardiac cath animation is available on any VisualCARDIOLOGY workstation - including wireless computing tablets by-the-bedside - through the integrated DICOM viewer. Clinical signs, diabetic flow sheets, and input and output data contribute information to system decision-support algorithms which alert the physician before critical situations develop. Continuity of care is assured from admission through discharge and beyond because the information required to care for the patient is always at the fingertips of the healthcare team.
