CVIS

Cardiovascular information systems (CVIS) include electronic reporting systems for all aspects of the cardiovascular service line. These health informatics systems often incorporate cardiac PACS and reporting systems for echocardiography, cath lab, cardiac surgery, electrophysiology (EP), ECG and diagnostic testing. Today, these systems are often web-enabled or web-based and integrated tightly with a healthcare system's electronic medical record (EMR).

VIDEO: Getting cardiologist buy-in on artificial intelligence

Ami Bhatt, MD, the American College of Cardiology (ACC) chief innovation officer and adult congenital heart disease cardiologist at Mass General Hospital, discusses how to get physician acceptance to use artificial intelligence (AI). 

The ASNC is one of several medical imaging societies asking Congress to repeal the appropriate use criteria (AUC) criteria mandate. They say it poses issues for clinicians and is becoming outdated by changes in CMS payment systems. The AUC requirements call for documentation using CVMS authorized software in order to show advanced imaging such as nuclear and CT is justified, or else Medicare payments might be withheld.

American Society of Nuclear Cardiology urges Congress to speed prior authorizations, repeal AUC mandate 

Over the past few weeks, members of ASNC’s Health Policy Committee have held meetings with their members of Congress.

The catheter was co-developed with Biosense Webster to perform EP procedures. It also can be used in place of TEE in structural heart procedures to eliminate the need for an interventional echocardiography.  #ACC22

VIDEO: Creating a telecardiology program

Ami Bhatt, MD, the American College of Cardiology (ACC) chief innovation officer, and former director of telecardiology at Mass General Hospital, explains how to create and manage a cardiac telemedicine program.
 

Telecardiology during the COVID-19 pandemic showed cardiologists another way to treat patients

Telecardiology saw a major boost during the COVID-19 pandemic. Many health systems now want to keep it as a permanent treatment option.

KLAS Research released its 2022 Best in KLAS report, which includes cardiovascular information systems and hemodynamic systems. 

An example of the CV Wizard clinical decision support (CDS) software showing a screen designed to help patients better understand their risks and areas they need to work on. It is graphically based to enable patients who have a lower level of literacy better understand their cardiovascular risks, rather than using a long text report.

Clinical decision support may improve cardiac care at low-income community health centers

Evidence shows this technology has the potential to improve care for vulnerable patients with cardiovascular disease.
