Gastroenterology departments treat patients presenting with widely differing degrees of clinical severity. These can be inpatients with complex oncologic diseases or outpatients requiring diagnostic endoscopic procedures and who immediately take their examination results with them.
This specialist area can also involve long medical histories and frequent check-up visits.
Documentation (examination logs, result reports, discharge summaries, etc.) in this department reflects a high degree of standardization with a need for sophisticated content. An important focus of i.s.h.med* gastro is therefore ergonomic design for entering textual information together with administrative data (such as diagnoses and procedures) and thus the swift creation of a complete findings text.
In addition, information technology in gastroenterology almost always means handling video images or sequences. This solution therefore addresses their storage and archiving as well as integration into findings documents of the patient record.
Systematic archiving of all information with permanent access to findings and images from all parts of the clinic (outpatient clinic, emergency admissions, care units, surgery, intensive care) is crucial for providing care for this patient population.
*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.
