Surgery
The STS Certified CardioPulse Surgery suite:
Cardiothoracic Electronic Health Record (CT-EHR):
Beginning with the initial patient contact and following through the surgical discharge, the CT-EHR documents a patient’s progress through the clinical course by employing the use of real-time data collection to automate the creation and distribution for:
- Level V Consult
- History & Physical
- Operative Note
- Coding
- Discharge Summary
- Office note - Follow-up
CT-EHR is STS certified for the Adult Cardiac, General Thoracic and Congenital Heart registries. As patient data is collected for the EHR, the CT- EHR is also populating relevant STS fields so that data can be submitted in a more accurate, efficient and cost effective manner.
Some CT-EHR functionality:
- Access to data and images from any computer with an Internet connection
- Automated Results Reports
- Electronic Signature
- Electronic Faxing
- Automated Coding
The Cardiothoracic Surgery (EHR) can be used as a stand-alone tool but, its real power is recognized when it is used in conjunction with the CardioPulse CVIS, thus providing the surgical personnel with a complete and real-time snapshot of the cardiovascular clinical history of a patient. This powerful tool manages the entire informatics needs of the cardiothoracic surgical unit.
Peripheral Vascular (PV):
This module is designed to collect data for peripheral vascular surgical procedures. PV includes data elements for:
- History
- Pre-Op information
- Operative information
- Intubation & extubation times
- Post-op events
Once collected, the data can be used for analytics. Reports can be developed utilizing any combination of data elements for outcomes, utilizations, effectiveness, etc.
OR Scheduling
OR Scheduling utilizes the CardioPulse Electronic White Board. The Electronic White Board is a web based electronic procedure room scheduling system. It was built specifically to mimic and replace a hospital’s or practice’s procedure lab white board. Having access to the procedure room schedule using a secure internet connection offers the capability to observe the status of the lab(s) in real time from remote sites. If the need arises, the viewer can also access any day’s workload from home or office.
