The World Health Organization states that in 2015 cardiovascular
diseases accounted for 17.5 million deaths annually. Philips is
committed to providing the latest advanced technology and
integrated cardiology solutions to prevent, diagnose and treat
cardiovascular disease. IntelliSpace Cardiovascular provides
cardiologists with an interoperable, patient-centric repository of
comprehensive cardiovascular information to help support clinical
decision-making, streamline workflows and reduce costs.
"Now, the cardiologist doesn't have to search for images and
reports from earlier tests or open multiple screens. Everything is
presented in a unified view, on a chronologically ordered
timeline," said Wally Wonnink, Supervising Physician on
Echocardiography at the Elisabeth - Tweesteden Hospital Tilburg,
the Netherlands. "This will give
caregivers access to the patient's history of diagnosis and
treatment and can help prevent unnecessary examinations."
According to the Future Health Index, a recent study
commissioned by Philips, 81% of cardiology patients surveyed feel
it is important that the healthcare system in their country is
integrated so that they do not have to have the same test or
screening run multiple times due to visiting different facilities,
further demonstrating the need for a fully integrated cardiology
solution like IntelliSpace Cardiovascular.
IntelliSpace Cardiovascular also features expanded vendor
agnostic web application programming interfaces (WebAPI) to provide
customers with easier access to third-party applications. The
latest iteration of IntelliSpace Cardiovascular delivers seamless
access to EMR data, scheduling systems and any web-based
application supporting the clinician. The increased
interoperability further centralizes patient data from multiple
sources to streamline workflows, provide a more comprehensive
patient view, and foster collaboration by adding clinical depth
instead of information overload. Having a holistic view into the
patient's history spanning diagnosis, treatment and therapy can
improve patient care.
"Cardiovascular diseases are the leading cause of death, and
account for more cost than any other chronic illness across the
globe. Finding ways to speed the path to treatment for patients,
while improving workflow productivity and enhancing patient
outcomes, are critical to transforming cardiology care," said Yair
Briman, Senior Vice President and General Manager of Healthcare IT
for Philips. "IntelliSpace Cardiovascular expands the ability for
cardiologists to deliver care from virtually anywhere by giving
them power to access diagnostic quality echo images remotely."
