W13: OTHER HOSPITAL IFORMATION SYSTEMS

• For the storage and retrieval of Cardiology-centric
  images.

• Communicates with other information systems to
  retrieve orders with the patient demographics and
  other information and subsequently profiles it against
  the images and stored for further distribution, viewing
  or long-term archive.

Cardiology Information Systems

List the relevant information for cardiologists:

1.) Personal (history, physical exam)
2.) Signals (electrocardiograms)
3.) Images (echocardiograms, angiograms, CT, MRI)
4.) Reports from investigations/procedures

AVAILABLE CARDIOLOGY INFORMATION SYSTEM ORIGINATED FROM A MAINFRAME ENVIRONMENT, THE TECHNICAL SPECIFICS OF WHICH WOULD BE CONSIDERED RIDICULOUS IN THE PRESENT DAY SETTING

1970

MODULAR SYSTEMS BECAME A TREND WHICH EMPHASIZED THE USE OF REAL-TIME APPLICATIONS AND MINI COMPUTERS

1980

_________ BECAME A TURNING POINT IN THE CIS EVOLUTION

INTERNET

Cardiology information systems nowadays have unique features that enable __________ and __________.

1.) remote access
2.) easy retrieval

Some CIS have also attempted to integrate with a Radiology Information System to create a _______________ that is capable of more than just storage, particularly involving more administrative processes

Cardiovascular Information System

All data relevant to cardiology is consolidated and managed on a single platform.

Editing, Viewing and Storing Multi-Modal Cardiology Data

Cardiology data anywhere you need it

Remote Access

Ease and consistency in reporting

Visualization and Reporting Capabilities

Offers a more comprehensive view of the patientcare spectrum

EHR Integration

No need to seek multiple departments, CIS consolidates all cardiology data in one system

Ease of access while maintaining data security

This allows doctors to access cardiology data anywhere they go, offering
improved efficiency in their service

Flexibility in the workflow

Allows healthcare professionals to make more informed decisions for the
benefit of their patient

Enhanced Comparability

Tracks Radiology image orders in conjunction with ______ and _________ within a Hospital Information System

1.) PACS
2.) VNA

It is a healthcare technology for short- and long-term storage, retrieval, management, distribution and presentation of images.

PACS

In a health information technology context, it is as medical imaging used by the healthcare professionals that stores images in a standard format and interface, making medical imaging data accessible through different picture archiving and communication systems (PACS).

VNA

3 advantages of RIS:

1.) Better communication with referring doctors
2.) Faster payments
3.) Improved efficiency

6 function of RIS:

1.) Patient management
2.) Scheduling
3.) Patient tracking
4.) Result reporting
5.) Image tracking
6.) Billing
