Swedish region taps GE for imaging informatics technology

Swedens second largest region, Vstra Gtaland region (VGR), has selected GE Healthcares eHealth Image Exchange platform and Centricity Enterprise Archive to facilitate the exchange of images and reports between physicians and specialists at 17 hospitals.

The Networked EP Lab

New for Heart Rhythm 2011, the Networked EP Lab will prepare electrophysiologists for the future of health information technology (HIT). Visitors will discover new processes and technologies to integrate into the EP Lab to optimize patient safety, outcomes and improve procedural management and outcomes.

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.

Making Your CVIS Work for You

While a cardiovascular information system (CVIS) can help practices achieve meaningful use and improve outcomes, due diligence is required to adopt one.
