Royal Philips has introduced Cardiac Workstation, a groundbreaking new cardiac care platform designed to accelerate clinical decision-making and care for cardiology patients, in Europe, the Middle East and Africa. The Cardiac Workstation uses advanced algorithms to access, analyze, and manage electrocardiograph (ECG) data either remotely or at the point of care. This new technology builds on the cardiograph of the past to help improve diagnostic cardiology by streamlining data collection and reducing administrative workload – allowing care teams to spend more time on direct patient care.
Heart disease remains the leading cause of death globally. Challenges and costs of managing cardiac conditions continue to grow while staff shortages, retention challenges, and expanded training requirements remain imminent. Administrators and clinicians face increasing pressure to efficiently care for this growing population of cardiac patients across a variety of care settings, which requires an end-to-end, broader ecosystem approach. The Cardiac Workstation helps to address these challenges by:
- Enhancing Workflow – Gesture-driven interactions like zoom, scroll and swipe functions allow care providers to review and interpret ECGs with the same familiarity as if they were using a smartphone. A simple interface with a three-step workflow also helps clinicians minimize data entry errors and quickly capture, analyze and export accurate ECGs.
- Providing Clinical Decision Support – The ability to access and view accurate demographic information and deep clinical data around the patient – such as zooming in on views of irregular rhythms or scrolling through multiple ECGs to identify trends – support clinicians in making confident and timely care decisions. When used in tandem with Philips IntelliSpace ECG management system, clinicians can also view side-by-side comparisons of current and previous ECGs to identify trends and risks.
- Enabling Enterprise Interoperability – Designed to be part of a broader ecosystem, Cardiac Workstation can interoperate with multiple enterprise systems beyond IntelliSpace ECG or your current departmental systems. Seamless integration with existing electronic medical record (EMR) and system technology allows ECG data to be easily accessed and shared throughout the enterprise. This holistic view of patient data enables care to take place in the most cost-and-clinically-effective setting, while ensuring informed diagnoses and interventions.
Philips’ flexible diagnostic, screening and enterprise ECG management solutions advance a new standard of cardiac care, giving healthcare organizations the power to deliver better diagnostics by enabling intervention and treatment in the right setting, at the right time. When leveraging the full strength of the Philips ECG portfolio, care providers can strategically manage the patient population through new, accessible care models informed by healthcare data and actionable insights.
