A unified Cardiology ecosystem
AGFA HealthCare’s Enterprise Imaging for Cardiology delivers a consolidated imaging ecosystem that speeds up image acquisition and retrieval, and enhances the delivery of patient care.
Across specialties and modalities, it improves the cardiologist’s work experience, by offering web-based image viewing and access, powerful advanced analysis applications, structured reporting, flexible workflows and collaboration tools – all in a single workspace.
Task-driven workflow
The rules-based workflow organizes and prioritizes work around tasks, so that the right specialists receive the right tasks, steps don’t get overlooked, and staff do not get overloaded. The workflow is driven by logic, not status, while native rules ensure a smooth progression from order to report.
Streamlined reporting
Templates for the different subspecialties make it easy for cardiologists to deliver relevant, well-organized and structured reports and referral letters “out of the box”. They support the department’s quality improvement, accreditation and reimbursement activities.
Teamwork
It’s simple to collaborate with peers and referring physicians through video meetings, chat and share tools, and by granting access to images and reports. The peer-learning workflow makes analyzing, rating and discussing reports part of a culture of teamwork and education.
A true vision of the medical record
Enterprise Imaging for Cardiology integrates bi-directionally with the EMR and cardiovascular information system, exchanging key patient images and data. It offers a vision of the entire medical record, even on mobile devices.
Meaningful and actionable data
With Enterprise Imaging Business Intelligence, departments can track performance, in order to optimize resource allocation and patient care. A variety of dashboards display a range of reports with meaningful and actionable data. Web-based analytics can be collected across all modules.
AGFA HealthCare Enterprise Imaging for Cardiology delivers:
Enterprise Imaging’s web technology facilitates a true “anywhere, anytime” workflow, enabling cardiologists to do their work wherever and whenever they need to, via an internet connection.
Whether in the hospital or at home, they can produce, interpret, collaborate on, and make quality decisions around images, with the same depth of workflow, from any computer or mobile device.
“Today we still have five different systems within our cardiology environment, but the new Enterprise Imaging capabilities will let us consolidate down to one.”
Your unified cardiology ecosystem
“Our cardiologists will have up-to-date technology that lets them see all the images they need in, effectively, a single step. They won’t have to deal with imaging data siloes anymore.”
