The specialized i.s.h.med* cardiology solution provides highly specific functions for cardiology departments. Cardiology comprises treatment cases of all degrees of severity and from all treatment sectors.
It ranges from simple elective patients or outpatients (whose importance has increased considerably since the almost complete transfer of diagnostic heart catheterization from the inpatient to the outpatient area) to straightforward care unit patients through to postoperative care for patients who have undergone complex surgical procedures, often involving intensive medical care. Furthermore, most patients in cardiology suffer from their illnesses for the rest of their lives and therefore sometimes have long medical histories.
Information technology in cardiology also consists of interfaces to medical devices (DICOM and non-DICOM), quality assurance as required by law, and all possible situations relating to billing. This is where i.s.h.med cardiology and further add-ons provide the perfect response.
Here too, thanks to its broad placement in the overall i.s.h.med solution, cardiology departmental documentation makes it possible to integrate care, provide effective therapy and avoid unnecessary risks to patients.
*i.s.h.med is not intended to be used for monitoring, clinical diagnostic, and/or therapeutic purposes, or to replace clinical judgment or responsibilities. Healthcare professionals should always refer to the primary information source before making any clinical diagnostic plan or treatment.
i.s.h.med is available globally in all SAP markets except United States of America and except parts of Europe like Norway, Sweden and France.
