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).

Time to think about how C-PACS/CVIS fit into hospital-wide EHR

A review of this month's Journal of the American Medical Informatics Association indicates the pervasive use of informatics systems in healthcare, as well as the niche challenges. As cardiology departments refine their cardiology PACS and cardiovascular information systems (CVIS), and integrate them into the larger hospital-wide EMR/EHR, they would be wise to note potential problem areas with informatics implementation and their solutions.
