Philips introduces enhanced Xcelera cardiology image management
system
20 August 2009
Philips has introduced new enhancements to its Xcelera multimodality
cardiology image management, analysis and reporting solution featuring
telecardiology capabilities to increase access to images and
information.
Xcelera R3.1 has new telecardiology capabilities to support clinical
workflow and help provide faster sharing capabilities for cardiac
patient information. Telecardiology allows remote access to cardiac
information — including from a home office computer, image sharing with
referring physicians and the ability to access Xcelera functionality
through other applications such as an electronic health records (EHR)
system.
Xcelera R3.1’s enhanced remote workflow capabilities support flexible
work schedules, coverage for satellite clinics and physicians on-the-go.
Harborview Medical Center, part of University of Washington Medicine,
was the first hospital to implement Xcelera R3.1.
“Our clinicians are benefitting from more than increased access to
studies with Xcelera R3.1. The system offers access to advanced analysis
tools,” said Edward A. Gill, M.D., director of Echocardiography,
Harborview Medical Center. “Having study quantification results
automatically placed into patient reports and the clinical database
simultaneously, enhances workflow and speeds diagnosis. This improves
the quality of health care to our patients, our most important goal at
Harborview Medical center.”
Xcelera R3.1 can seamlessly deliver cardiac images and clinical
reports to an institution's EHR system. The new release also offers an
expanded pediatric echocardiography normative dataset. Xcelera R3.1 is
now available globally and upgrades are available for more than 2,000
existing Xcelera customers.
