Access Universal Document Portal - Interface EKG/ECG Data Directly into Electronic Health Records
In the cardiology department, your physicians and nurses need to provide timely and informed care. This is complicated by managing paper strips from your 12, 5- or 18-lead EKG/ECG machines, which can be several feet long and are difficult to manipulate, store and transport.
Whether you’re scanning and indexing these strips into a document imaging or enterprise content/document management system or archiving them in folders, there’s always a delay between strip output and its availability to clinicians.
Access’s cardiology solution, powered by Access Universal Document Portal (UDP), can help.
This powerful tool captures EKG/ECG strips, converts them into a standardized format and interfaces them directly into patients’ electronic health records (EHRs).
Benefits of this proven solution include:
- Faster, more informed care decisions
- Greater physician satisfaction
- Increased productivity for cardiology nurses and HIM staff
- Elimination of document loss, misfiling and indexing errors
“Before we had Access UDP there was the possibility of personnel selecting the wrong patient in MEDITECH before they scanned the EKG report, and this wouldn’t have been noticed until later. Now we know each report is going to the right place in a timely manner, and the image will be of good diagnostic quality.”
