Next-Generation Echocardiography Advanced Reporting Modules Showcased

The company is promoting integration of ultrasound solutions, such as the SonoSite iViz, with medical Internet Technology (IT). The iViz is the first such system on the market that can accept patient demographics from and send reports too an Electronic Medical Record (EMR) using the FUJIFILM Synapse EMR gateway.

Updates to the Synapse Cardiovascular solution include an enhanced workflow, image review, cardiology reporting, and redesigned Echocardiography Advanced Reporting (EAR) modules. Additional features include auto-summary statements, configurable macros, Z-scores, an updated measurement package, and data trending. The modules were redesigned using ASE standards for adult, pediatric, fetal, and stress studies.

Bill Lacy, VP, Medical Informatics, FUJIFILM Medical Systems U.S.A, said, “Recent research shows that from 2001 to 2011, approximately 7,669,000 echos were performed nationwide on hospital inpatients alone, representing an average annual rate of increase of echocardiography of 3.41%. With Synapse Cardiovascular, clinicians and sonographers can expect a streamlined and efficient clinical experience—leaving them more time and energy to do what they do best, which is care for patients.”
