Merge Cardio™ for Cath Lab

With growing concerns over readmissions, lower reimbursements, and fragmented care, there’s little time left to focus on data management for your catheterization lab. Merge Cardio was designed with these challenges in mind-automating workflow, so your cath lab can keep seeing patients and your practice can continue to see growth.

Gain streamlined workflow by automating recording and reporting

Full procedural structured reporting allows for automation and accurate recording for your invasive cardiologists. For example, when integrated with a hemodynamics system, hemodynamics data gathered in a cath procedure feeds directly into the structured report, eliminating possible manual data entry errors. Recognizing that not all procedures are structured, Merge Cardio offers speech recognition support for free dictation and structured data population. With Merge Cardio, your invasive cardiologist focuses less on CVIS workflow and more on patient care.

– Bidirectional discrete data transfer to automate reporting

– Full procedural structured reporting, compliant with ACC/ AHA/SCAI Health Policy Statement on Structured Reporting

– Deep integrations, including history, labs, medications and procedural data import from Merge Hemo™

Eliminate tedious tasks through seamless integration with Merge Hemo

You want your invasive cardiologists focusing on their patients, not on data entry. Merge Cardio fully integrates with Merge Hemo, a KLAS Category Leader in hemodynamics monitoring, eliminating the need to manually tabulate or re-enter data that has already been stored electronically. The partnership between Merge Cardio and Merge Hemo streamlines workflow and allows your cardiologists to spend more time with their patients and less time with non-revenue generating data entry.

Merge Cardio streamlines cath lab analytics

Merge Cardio simplifies the management of your cath lab. Comprehensive analytics, cross-modality analysis and reporting tools increase operational efficiency by removing information that your cath lab manager previously had to manually extract. Merge Cardio includes a department dashboard for real-time statistics, providing metrics that can help track the success of your cath lab and identify opportunities for enhanced resource allocation.
