New Software Streamlines Interface Management with Better Security and Controls

Posted on 18 Dec 2008

New software enables the management of multiple hospital information systems (HIS) and device interfaces through a single, web-based console while providing increased system security and control for network administrators.

Lumedx Corp. (Oakland, CA, USA), a provider of fully integrated cardiovascular imaging and information systems, introduces the latest version of CardioGate interface management system. A major component of the CardioStar range of integrated imaging and information tools, CardioGate works to streamline workflow by importing data from all a hospital's best-of-breed devices and systems.

The CardioGate 3.1 software include features that (1) automates and simplifies the management of multiple interfaces with a single login; (2) facilitates the hosting of unattended servers, supporting information technology (IT) compliance; (3) allows system administrators to restrict user access based on database privileges and on a per-interface basis for better system security and control; (4) offers at-a-glance web page view of status of all interfaces and generates email alerts when problems occur; (5) improves interface management efficiency, reducing turnaround time for reports and billing.

"As heart and vascular programs evolve, devices, systems, and interfaces multiply,” said Lumedx technical program manager Tiana Thomas. "CardioGate 3.1 helps IT administrators by enabling remote, at-a-glance management of multiple interfaces. The result: constant, accurate monitoring of interface status, health, and activity.”

With over 500 heart center clients worldwide, Lumedx is a market leader in fully integrated cardiovascular information systems and cardiology and communication systems (PACS) solutions provider. The company's cardiovascular imaging and information systems play a critical role in helping healthcare systems meet many of current challenges and opportunities, including pay-for-performance, evidence-based medicine, greater competition and transparency in the marketplace, and new governmental regulations.

Images in a 75-year-old woman who underwent routine screening mammography in 2022. Left mediolateral oblique views shown from prior screening mammograms: (A) 2015, (B) 2018, (C) 2019, and (D) 2021. In (E) 2022, a new mass developed in the left breast at the 6-o’clock position (arrow), with a (F) corresponding irregular mass at US (arrow). Subsequent US-guided core needle biopsy yielded invasive ductal carcinoma, grade 2. The deep learning 5-year risk scores gradually increased from 2.0 (2015) to 2.1 (2018), 3.4 (2019), 3.6 (2021), and 15.3 (2022).

AI Tool Predicts Five-Year Breast Cancer Risk from Mammograms

Breast cancer risk assessment during routine screening is difficult because many women who develop the disease have no known genetic mutations or family history. Static risk tools provide limited discrimination... Read more

AI Mammography Tools Detect Early Breast Cancer Signs Years Before Diagnosis

Breast cancer screening aims to detect tumors before symptoms develop, but subtle mammographic changes can appear years before diagnosis and may be missed during routine reads. Delayed detection can lead... Read more

$Image: Kyushu University researchers use Dynamic Chest Radiography (DCR) to evaluate the severity of Pulmonary Regurgitation (PR), a common complication after treatment of the congenital heart disease Tetralogy of Fallot. The analysis only requires the patient to hold their breath for seven seconds for a sequence of images of their heart to be taken. The images are then analyzed and extracted into a waveform that can show the severity of PR. The new technique\\\'s detection accuracy of severe PR is 93%, with a sensitivity of 93% and a specificity of 94%. (Photo courtesty of Kyushu University/Yuzo Yamasaki)$
