Cardiac Science Upgrades Its Online ECG Access Tool for Physicians, Clinicians, and Technicians
HeartCentrix®
6.2 Data Management Provides Device Connectivity and Productivity Tools
to EMR Systems for Rapid Access to ECG, Stress, and Holter Tests
BOTHELL, Wash.–(EMWNews)–Cardiac Science today announced the launch of its HeartCentrix®
6.2 data management product for the physician office. HeartCentrix is
the only solution that connects Burdick®
and Quinton®
equipment to an EMR system, giving access to test results remotely and
across locations with a single
sign-on from within the EMR itself. Cardiac Science (NASDAQ:CSCX) is
a global leader in advanced cardiac diagnosis, resuscitation,
rehabilitation, and informatics products.
“With HeartCentrix, our GEMMS ONE®
electronic medical record (EMR) system now provides immediate access to
patient information and we don’t have to worry
about losing the hard copy of test results,”
said Dr. David Griffen from Heart Clinic Arkansas. “If
a patient suddenly presents with chest pain, we can go to his electronic
chart immediately for the critical information we need. It’s
all right there at our fingertips.”
HeartCentrix saves time and paper, eliminates errors, helps to ensure
patient safety, and communicates bi-directionally with many Burdick and
Quinton devices. The 6.2 version offers four new features versus the
prior release, namely:
-
HeartCentrix 6.2 interfaces with the Burdick Universal ECG, a PC-based
ECG solution;
-
HeartCentrix 6.2 is certified with the Allscripts®
UAI interface;
-
HeartCentrix 6.2 supports VISTA and remains Windows®
compatible; and
-
HeartCentrix 6.2 allows local printing, supplementing EMR systems’
printing capabilities.
“Connectivity is becoming more important in
cardiac diagnostic testing,” began René
Mitchell, director of diagnostic marketing for Cardiac Science. “In
fact, connectivity is so important that all our Burdick Atria®
3100 or 6100 ECG devices now come with Ethernet communications as a
standard option. Cardiac Science is always seeking to provide greater
value to our customers–and this new
HeartCentrix release is one more way we meet that goal.”
HeartCentrix is easy to understand and use. Its familiar Windows-based
interface flows left to right in a logical progression. Using a single
sign-on from within the EMR, users can download orders and patient
demographics directly to Burdick and Quinton diagnostic devices, upload
results back to the EMR after tests are performed, and review and edit
test results at the office or any remote location.
