Cardiovascular Imaging and Information System Streamlines Workflow While Utilizing Additional Documentation Capabilities

From routine to advanced reading, a new version of a cardiovascular imaging and information system helps streamline workflows and enhance clinical utilization.

Siemens Healthcare (Erlangen, Germany) presented the technology at the 62nd annual Scientific Session of the American College of Cardiology, held from March 9-11, 2013, in San Francisco (CA, USA). Siemens is focused on providing to customers systems that improve the ability to provide coordinated, sustainable care as part of Agenda 2013, a two-year global initiative of Siemens Healthcare to increase its competitiveness and cutting-edge capabilities.

With this new version of syngo Dynamics (VA10A2), multiple users can now simultaneously enter documentation into the same study. Physicians, nurses, and technicians, as a result, can more effectively collaborate to provide patient care, while utilizing additional documentation capabilities—at any stage of the procedure. Once documentation has been completed, enhancements to accessing prior studies and finalizing reports can accelerate report turn-around times. Furthermore, physicians can more efficiently monitor radiation dose, which greatly strengthens their ability to provide safe care to the patient. Improvements to the Electronic Whiteboard can increase flexibility of use and enhance efficiency with the cardiovascular departments (a feature only available in the United States and Canada).

syngo Dynamics enhancements of this release are designed to provide healthcare providers with greater functionality and a more streamlined workflow, giving them the ability to focus on providing efficient, effective, and complete care for their patients.

syngo.via can be used as a standalone device or together with a variety of syngo.via-based software options, which are medical devices in their own right.

The product has United States Food and Drug Administration (FDA) 510(k) clearance and it is planned for commercial availability in the United States in April 2013.
