Cardiac Science Announces HeartCentrix ECG Informatics Connectivity With Henry Schein Medical Systems' MicroMD EMR 5.0
Bothell, WA and Melville, NY - Cardiac Science Corporation, a leading provider of cardiac monitoring, defibrillation and rehabilitative products, and Henry Schein Medical Systems, the medical software division of Henry Schein, Inc., announced that the connection with HeartCentrix ECG informatics system by Cardiac Science is complete. This connectivity enables the seamless transfer of Burdick and Quinton brand ECG, exercise stress and Holter monitoring results to version 5.0 of Henry Schein Medical Systems' electronic medical record (EMR) software, MicroMD EMR.
The connection between Cardiac Science devices and MicroMD EMR will help physicians simplify diagnostic cardiology workflow in their offices by eliminating a source of data transcription errors, and will provide the physician a unified view of patient diagnostic data. With HeartCentrix ECG informatics, physicians have immediate access to electronically view or edit patients' test results and later retrieve data in MicroMD EMR.
"By integrating MicroMD EMR and HeartCentrix ECG informatics, we provide a means by which MicroMD EMR users can improve their efficiency by connecting their Quinton and Burdick devices directly to their EMR," said Greg Newman, director, product management, Cardiac Science Corporation. "Physicians using MicroMD EMR can seamlessly integrate cardiac tests from Burdick and Quinton branded devices to significantly improve the test-ordering and reviewing workflow. By eliminating paper and manual test results transfer, costs and chances for error are reduced."
"MicroMD EMR streamlines workflow, improves data accuracy and increases physician productivity," said Ajit Kumar, Ph.D., general manager, Henry Schein Medical Systems. "The new connectivity with HeartCentrix ECG informatics will now enable users of MicroMD EMR 5.0 to view and store test results from Burdick and Quinton products with a quick click of the mouse, allowing for faster and more confident diagnoses."
