Connectivity
What is Connectivity?
Connectivity means a device can digitally communicate with and transfer diagnostic data to any number of systems, including an Electronic Medical Record (EMR), Hospital Information System (HIS), National Insurance Billing system, Telemedicine, via email, or over the web.
Whether you’re transferring patient data to your EMR/HIS to centrally manage patient data, using email or the web to share test results and receive a second opinion from a remote recording site, or sending patient data to your National Insurance Billing system, connectivity enables you to streamline workflow, increase clinical efficiency, and reduce costs for your facility.

What are the Benefits?
In today’s fast-paced healthcare environment, patient safety, clinical workflow efficiency, and cost savings are critically important. By providing true connectivity between health devices and your EMR, HIS, and other systems, you will see a number of benefits:
Accuracy/Patient Safety
Keep your patients safer and improve data accuracy and completeness by eliminating transcription errors and lost diagnostic data.
Clinical Workflow Efficiency
Capture a more complete and comprehensive set of test results on every patient and enhance your practice’s efficiency by eliminating duplicate patient data recording and several manual printing, scanning, and filing steps.
Time Savings
Save time and money by having immediate access to patient diagnostic data anytime, anywhere and allow your staff to focus on patient care and office management.
Remote Testing/Telemedicine Enablement
Extend specialty diagnostic capabilities farther than ever before with Telemedicine. Remote clinics and offices alike can use the CP 50™ with the CardioPerfect™ Workstation to digitally transmit diagnostic testing data to an expert in a central location for review and diagnosis. Hospitals can support entire networks of remote recording sites requiring an expert opinion and data storage for entire network of clinics, no matter where they’re located.
