Southwest Healthcare System Selects Digsionics CVIS

Online, January 30, 2013 (Newswire.com) - California-based Southwest Healthcare System recently selected Digisonics as the Cardiovascular Information System (CVIS) Solution for Inland Valley Medical Center in Wildomar, Calif. and Rancho Springs Medical Center in Murrieta, Calif. Southwest Healthcare System is owned and operated by a subsidiary of Universal Health Services, Inc.(UHS), a King of Prussia, PA-based company, that is one of the largest healthcare management companies in the nation.

The Digisonics CVIS will enable clinicians at the facility to quickly create structured reports for their adult and pediatric echo studies. Users will also have fully functional remote reading capabilities through the secure web-based DigiNet Pro application for anywhere, anytime access to the complete Cardiology PACS and Structured Reporting System. Southwest Healthcare will also implement the Digisonics Search Package, a comprehensive, user-configurable search engine. This powerful tool allows the facility to quickly set up search criteria to extract clinical information for use in research, compile statistics required for accreditation and generate management reports to target areas for productivity and efficiency.

HL7 interfaces for Orders In and Results Out will create a fully electronic workflow between Digisonics and the hospital's Cerner Millennium system. DICOM Modality Worklist and DataLink modules will automate transfer of patient biometry to and from the Medical Center's Philips ultrasound machines with the Digisonics CVIS, significantly reducing manual data entry time. Digisonics DigiServ, a multi-site server, will provide storage and communication management for the enterprise-wide system. As a result, Southwest Healthcare will benefit from a seamless cardiology workflow with improved efficiency, accuracy and turnaround times.
