At the Polikum health centres of Charlottenburg state-of-the-art medical technology is used for a reliable cardiovascular diagnosis A partnership between Henry Schein Medical and the Polikum has restructured the non-invasive cardiology diagnostics area by establishing uniform processes so that doctors can take advantage of synergies and a fluid internal workflow CardioSoft from GE Healthcare is fully integrated into the workflow this enables reliable data collection – the absolute key to determining the root causes of cardiovascular disease and measures long-term blood pressure and the long-term ECG Spirometric data and even data from spiro-ergometry (cardiopulmonary exercise testing) diagnostic tools can be captured providing high quality results for the physicians Thanks to the ‘Turbomed’ billing programme findings and analyses are placed in the patient’s file the findings are centrally stored in a single computer system and can be viewed by doctors at the Polikum health centres depending on activation of access regulations (ensuring patient data protection) even if the patient has been examined at another site or treated by another doctor cardiologist and Head of Cardiology at Polikum Berlin said: ‘The benefits of medical diagnosis systems and of incorporating electronically captured data in the patient file are used every day and represent a genuine advancement in quality and functionality.’ in addition to options in the follow-up survey he uses one application in particular – ‘a stored ECG and pre-ECG can easily be displayed one above the other to reveal minor differences – for example ‘In just a few minutes findings can be made available to external medical colleagues for the entire period during which the patient was in the Polikum without having to make bothersome requests for files from the archive this lets us pass on valuable information without delay.’ Henry Schein’s nationwide network includes 330 technical staff so service and support is very quick President of the European Medical Group Henry Schein the automated IT processes are easily learned and give a clear structure for better work transparency through one procedure followed by all the medics and patient he added: ‘This is a paperless system that is always up to date.’ His observations are backed up by Sabine Bärwolff Chief Technology Officer and Manager at the Polikum who said the need for a fully-integrated system has been met and added that the partnership with Henry Schein supports the health centres in ‘breaking new ground’ Cancer – one word that turns the patients’ world upside down they often face an unnerving series of exams and treatments The complex form of machine learning DLIR (Deep Learning Image Reconstruction) is based on a deep neuronal network which is similar to the human brain The artificial neurons of this network learn… AI algorithms are making their way not just into diagnostic workstations but will also in future be found in the diagnostic methods themselves This website uses cookies to give our readers the best website experience.
