As recently as eight months ago, cardiologists sitting down to work with medical images at Novant Health had plenty of choices on where and how to go about that part of their jobs.

The term cardiovascular information systems (CVIS) and cardiovascular picture and archive systems (CPACS) are often used interchangeably. CPACS is a commodity and a true CVIS is an asset that supports management, marketing, decision making and clinical excellence of the cardiovascular service line.

In February and March 2020, the inevitable happened: COVID-19 came to the United States, hitting the country’s healthcare system like a 10-pound sledgehammer. 

A new survey from Cardiovascular Business examines the attitudes and priorities of leaders in cardiology and other specialties, shining light on how patient care may evolve in the years ahead.

The Cardiovascular Business team embarked on this survey to gain a deeper understanding of the current state of cardiovascular health, the role CVIS plays and the goals cardiovascular leaders have established for the next few years.
