Cardiovascular IT Solutions Optimize Clinical Workflows

March 4, 2010 – During ACC 2010, cardiovascular IT solutions from Siemens will be shown to help optimize clinical workflows through integration of imaging and information, and are designed to make healthcare faster, better and more cost-effective.

With syngo Dynamics, Siemens’ multimodality image viewing and archiving system, knowledge-driven tools are clinically derived and include clinical decision support options and evidence-based structured reporting. syngo Dynamics version 9.0 introduces new administrative tools to enhance the clinical experience, supports additional reductions in report turnaround time, offers real time display of key performance indicators (KPIs), and more.

Siemens will also showcase its knowledge-driven healthcare data-mining tool, Soarian Quality Measures, which supports healthcare providers’ goals to streamline their quality improvement process by automating chart abstraction and helping expedite the submission of quality measures, as defined by the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS) and The Joint Commission. For cardiologists, Soarian Quality Measures automatically abstracts and presents the relevant evidence from the two heart related CMS topics: acute myocardial infarction and heart failure.

Also being displayed is Siemens’ latest imaging software for multimodality reading of clinical cases, syngo.via, which places special focus on reading efficiency through automated case preparation and structured case navigation across multiple specialties, including cardiology.
