Software for Integrated Cardiology System

A suite of products providing a comprehensive, open-architecture cardiology system has been launched that combines workflow management, cardiology outcomes, and integration of information into a single, patient-centered record. Called the Pyramis Cardiology System, the suite is available from Spacelabs Medical, Inc. (Redmond, WA, USA).

The suite comprises software modules for four applications. One application is a Data Repository, a comprehensive system that can archive and access cardiology data and images, such as ECG, stress, Holter, and nuclear cardiology. A second application is a Cardiology Management System, which automates the process of managing ECG, stress, and Holter records. A third application is the Outcomes Reporting System, a documentation system with reporting and analysis capabilities. The fourth application is the Intesys Gateway, a standard interface engine that allows integration of legacy and best-of-class systems.

"Instead of the current sequential process, ECG reports may now be reviewed simultaneously and thereby acted upon in a more timely manner,” said Glenn Isensee, vice president of technology at Spacelabs Burdick. "Because the system also integrates legacy systems, we are helping our customers to protect--and indeed to maximize--their investment in other cardiology equipment.”
