Launch of New Cardiovascular Image and Information Management System Announced

The system should help streamline workflows, and improve patient care, by allowing all clinicians to view the complete patient history, treatment, and therapy, preventing delay and unnecessary repetition of tests.

The Royal Philips (Amsterdam, the Netherlands) web-enabled IntelliSpace Cardiovascular CVIS provides tools that enable clinicians to access, analyze, and share cardiovascular images and information freely. Existing Philips’ Xcelera customers can also upgrade to the new IntelliSpace Cardiovascular CVIS, which includes clinical applications such as IntelliSpace Portal, and IntelliSpace ECG, in one workspace. Improved interoperability, and centralized patient data, will help streamline workflows and improve care.

CVIS is vendor agnostic, and can link users to advanced visualization tools, a third-party Picture Archiving and Communication System (PACS), or Electronic Medical Record (EMR). The system has a scalable design and built-in echocardiography reporting features to help cardiologists in the reporting workflow. The CVIS also includes built-in analytics tools that can compile data and provide searchable information for clinicians, researchers, and administrators.

Iain Burns, CEO, Philips Canada, said, “At Philips we are committed to delivering innovations that can improve people’s lives. IntelliSpace Cardiovascular’s single integrated workspace produces a panoramic view of the patient’s care continuum across the entire cardiovascular service line enabling better care for cardiology patients. This new technology provides cardiologists with sophisticated tools for confident diagnosis and planning of patient cardiovascular care.”
