Health Imaging & IT - October 2008 - (Page 22) special section cardiac imaGinG By Lisa Fratt Savvy cardiology departments tap into CVIS to engineer cost-savings, streamline workflow and better patient care Cardiology departments across the United States are positioned at a precipice, staring at an array of challenges: an aging population, epidemics of obesity and diabetes, increased competition and a constant crunch for qualified staff. The situation translates into the need for a new model that enables caregivers to meet the needs of a higher volume of patients in an efficient, cost-effective manner. Yet many departments function in a paper-based silo mode that fails to provide anytime/ anywhere access to patient data. Some cardiology departments have found a solution. Next-generation cardiovascular information systems (CVIS) serve as the cornerstone of a massive re-engineering program characterized by streamlined access to patient images and information. The results include improved patient care, better cost control and the ability to use data to inform decisions about every facet of departmental operations. This month, Health Imaging & IT visits several leading-edge sites to learn more about how CVIS is boosting patient care as well as making economic sense.
