As healthcare systems accelerate strategies across the enterprise to unite data, images and workflow, cardiology faces unique challenges. Join us for an in-depth discussion on improving and standardizing workflow, enhancing cardiologist and IT team efficiency, and reducing costs through optimizing IT infrastructure, cloud and AI.
The technologies and tools of the cardiac catheterization lab have evolved in recent years, allowing interventionalists to perform procedures with more precision than ever. Angiographic imaging, meanwhile, has remained relatively consistent—but that is all starting to change.
As coronary CT angiography (CCTA) continues its rapid expansion, scanner vendors are now offering more economical solutions to ensure access to imaging technology beyond premium systems most often only found at flagship hospitals and academic centers. To conquer CCTA’s technical challenges, new technologies and AI are being incorporated into a new scanner to simplify acquisition and consistently improve image quality.
Listen in to this discussion on enhancing efficiency for cardiologists and care teams with an integrated imaging and patient data strategy. Enterprise imaging simplifies IT by consolidating multi-ology images with patient data and providing a single view of all patient information.
Change is on the horizon for cath labs all over the world as more and more interventional cardiologists are starting to use coronary CT angiography to plan and guide PCI procedures. Patients, physicians, catheterization labs and healthcare systems all stand to gain from this growing trend.
Growth seeded the need for a dedicated PCI program at Saratoga Hospital that went live in January along with a complete technology overhaul: cath lab, echo, hemodynamic monitoring and a fully integrated cardiovascular information system. The PCI program, close to 100 interventions later, is considered a jewel of the county. It also is a model for other facilities needing a technology refresh.
Listen to David O. Williams, MD, of Brigham & Women's Hospital and Kalon K.L. Ho, MD, MSc of Beth Israel Deaconess Medical Center as they discuss the role of IT in cardiovascular care in patient management, cost containment, workflow, best practices and reporting.
Join Connie Ryan, Cardiology Resource Manager at Oklahoma State University Medical Center as she shares how OSUMC was successful in enhancing their physicians workflow and in increasing productivity in their echo lab with the GE Healthcare's Centricity Cardio Enterprise Solution (CCE).
