Aiken Regional Medical Center Selects Digisonics Cardiovascular Information System

Aiken Regional Medical Center in Aiken S.C., will implement the Digisonics CVIS for PACS and structured reporting of their echo and cardiac/vascular catheterization studies.

Houston, TX, December 11, 2014 --(PR.com)-- Aiken Regional Medical Center in Aiken, S.C. has selected the Digisonics Cardiovascular Information System (CVIS) for their echo and cardiac/vascular catheterization studies. The Digisonics CVIS provides the hospital’s clinicians with the ability to quickly review images and create structured reports for their cardiovascular studies. WebView, an easy-to-use universal viewer application, will allow users to quickly access their patient images and reports from HTML5 capable web browsers and a variety of operating systems and devices including iPads, tablets and Macs.

The Digisonics Cardiovascular Information System will significantly streamline Aiken Regional Medical Center’s cardiac catheterization structured reporting workflow. A HemoLink interface will connect the hospital’s GE MacLab hemodynamics system to the Digisonics CVIS, autopopulating demographics, hemodynamic measurements, medications and other data directly into the study. Users will also have access to cardiac catheterization image analysis and quantitation capabilities via seamless integration of the Digisonics CVIS with Medis QAngio XA. A single click launches the Medis advanced cath image analysis software directly from the Digisonics workstation and the results of the analysis performed are saved back into the study for a fully integrated workflow.

The facility will also implement the Digisonics Search Package, a comprehensive, user-configurable search engine. This powerful tool allows the facility to quickly set up search criteria to extract clinical information for use in research, compile statistics required for accreditation and generate management reports to target areas for productivity and efficiency.

Aiken Regional Medical Center will seamlessly integrate their Cerner EMR with the Digisonics CVIS via HL7 interfaces for Orders In and Results Out. A DigiLink add-on to the HL7 Results Out interface provides their clinicians with access to PDFs of the finalized cardiovascular reports within their EMR. The hospital will also utilize Digisonics DigiConnect, a new application allowing users to launch any 3rd party systems (such as EMR/HIS, PACS or ECG management software) directly from the Digisonics cardiovascular information system workstation. Users benefit from the convenience of a single sign-on as user credentials and patient information are passed directly to the 3rd party systems.

Integration with Aiken Regional Medical Center’s GE and Philips ultrasound machines will autopopulate the patient demographics and measurements directly into the Digisonics structured report, reducing manual entry time and eliminating the potential for entry errors. DICOM Modality Worklist will automate transfer of patient demographics to the facility’s imaging modalities, creating a list of scheduled patient studies and significantly reducing manual data entry time. Legacy images will be migrated and forwarded to Aiken Regional Medical Center’s vendor neutral archive. Access of archived images will be via Digisonics DICOM Query & Retrieve with Prefetch module.

As a result of implementing the Digisonics CVIS, Aiken Regional Medical Center will enjoy a seamless digital workflow with improved efficiency, greater reporting accuracy and faster report turnaround times.
