CENTRICITY CARDIOLOGY INFORMATION SYSTEMS
Digitisation also became realitiy in cardiology departments. The fact that heart disease is one of the major causes of death world wide underlines the need for automatisation and fast processes in cardiology. Centricity Cardiology is designed to be the environment of choice for cath labs, echo labs and 3D processing of CT, MR, and PET/CT datasets. Its power goes beyond clinical review possibilities and combines traditional DICOM viewing capabilities of CA1000 with advanced 3D clinical analysis tools of AW Suite 2.0.

The solution bridges the gap between IT and cardiology devices (invasive, non-invasive, ultrasound) and has an easy and intuitive user interface. Deep functionality and user specific configurability help cardiologists to better diagnose the causes of heart disease instead of only treating the symptoms.

CENTRICITY CLINICAL INFORMATION SYSTEMS
The priorities in anaesthesia, critical care and OR management include providing high quality patient care with efficient case process management. Vital patient information is needed online and at the point of care. Centricity means high performance, easy-to-use solutions for planning and managing care and electronic patient records. Intuitive and integrated to HIS it helps to view the patient data more clearly and accurately.

Paperless standardisation planning and documentation of care will streamline communication and reduce medication errors. Centricity allows effective patient assessment, care and resource planning, and automatic data collection from medical devices, e.g. monitors, ventilators or infusion pumps.

Preconfigured cases and pick lists, with touch screen optimised user interface make it a userfriendly solution, specifically designed to meet individual needs and requirements from small, stand-alone units to big and fully networked installations.
