10 Requirements for a Multi-Modality ECG Management System

Posted by Russ DeRemer on March 23, 2016 at 3:30 PM

As you seek to achieve interoperability, the many diagnostic test results performed in a Cardiology or Cardiopulmonary Department need to find their way into the hospital’s EHR. Simply importing a PDF test result to an ECG Management System fails to take advantage of the many benefits available when managing 12-lead ECG data and other diagnostic test results. If you are looking for a multi-modality ECG management system, please consider these factors:

  1. modality_circle_toEHR.pngSupport 12-lead ECG data from cardiographs, defibrillators, and bedside patient monitoring coming from multiple vendors.
  2. Manage the following modalities: Holter, stress test, PFT, event monitoring, patient-monitoring, pacemaker follow-up, ICD management, cardiac rehab, sleep studies, ambulatory blood pressure, EEG, and more
  3. With network access, allow physicians to view, edit, confirm, and digitally sign all diagnostic tests results using a standard web browser.
  4. Management and research reporting available for all modalities. 
  5. Accept diagnostic test results from any vendor that shares its data and formats.  
  6. Receive waveforms and additional digital data such as XML or HL7 exports from devices to support editable reports and structured reporting, i.e., support interoperability. 
  7. Connect to the EHR with HL7 interfaces including ADT, Orders, Results, and Billing messaging.
  8. Provide enhanced bi-directional communication including modality worklists via DICOM, XML, and other worklist formats.
  9. Workflow requirements, including email notification, faxing, network printing, and generating billing messages are supported for all modalities. 
  10. Single-click access from CVIS system to ECG Management System using Web API.

Upgrading or implementing a new ECG Management System in your hospital is a significant investment of dollars and time. Maximize the return from this effort: Manage many types of diagnostic test results, share one set of HL7 interfaces across multiple modalities, and move towards meaningful use.
