Integrating medical devices into the digital workflow

In today's era of DRGs and continuously raising cost pressure, there is a growing need to design communication solutions in heterogeneous hospital-IT environments. It has to represent the entire image management of a hospital or a group of hospitals. This is the only way to cover the integrating of all diagnostic activities into a uniform patient record.

HCI is your competent partner of choice. Our core competence are workflow solutions for hospital- and enterprise wide patient data and image management. Based on international established standards like DICOM or HL7, we offer individual communication solutions for heterogeneous IT-infrastructures.

We integrate existing and future medical devices in hospitals, especially in ORs, into enterprise-wide image and data management. Analogue or non-networked / non-radiologigal devices like endoscopy, ultrasonic, ECG, EEG etc. are often operated stand-alone. That means extra costs, time and money for managing patint data, reports, images or videos and integrating them into the Electronic patient record or HIS.

We offer complete services and solutions for the hospital medical-, IT- and planning department:

• Analysing of existing device-and IT-infrastructure
• Concepts for integration of existing medical devices into actual or future planned IT-systems like PACS, RIS, HIS
• Analysing the existing workflow in the OR and other medical departments, in cooperation with physicians, nurses, biomedical staff and IT
• Supervising and coordinating the installation, testing, hand-over and training
• Customer specific training-documents, manuals and service concepts
• First-level support 24/7
