The need for quick and accurate reporting in pediatric cardiology led two top hospitals in the US to acquire the syngo® Dynamics multimodality imaging and reporting system. The hospitals also anticipated optimized communication between regional partners as well as increased overall workflow efficiency. And according to Thomas Forbes, MD; Director of the Cardiac Catheterization Laboratory at the Children’s Hospital of Michigan the IT solution has done even more than that, “syngo Dynamics really has revolutionized how we work in the cath lab.”
Since the implementation of the IT solution, the specialized cardiac facilities have benefited from flexible, evidence-based reporting which can be done on customizable templates with embedded digital, high-clarity images.

syngo Dynamics has helped dramatically decrease the time spent on reporting - with most reports completed and then archived, faxed, or emailed within just one day. Dr. Forbes adds, “Everything is here – patient history, the procedures, pressures, pictures – everything is templated.” The immediate access to imaging studies and reports also contributes to improvements in the overall workflow.
At the Children’s Hospital of Wisconsin, the Echocardiography Laboratory’s team expressed the need for increased workflow efficiency, especially in the generation of lab reports. The less time doctors spend generating lab reports, the more time they have for patient care and sonographers can complete echo studies faster. External parties and different departments can access the more accurate and uniform reports with the click of the mouse.

Peter Frommelt, MD, Director of the Pediatric Echocardiography Laboratory, also expresses satisfaction with efficient reporting, “Our median time went from 24 hours to about an hour-and-a-half. We don’t have to do anything but click a button. We’ve gotten tremendous feedback from physicians saying they really appreciate the speed of the reports – which really helps in their ability to deliver care quickly. Not only did patient and referring physician satisfaction improve, but from a safety standpoint, I think it’s a real advance.”
