Enhancing Workflow and Diagnostics

"By integrating the EI platforms, our radiologists, cardiologists, and other specialists can now access comprehensive patient imaging records -- both imaging data and clinical data -- and discuss imaging studies much quicker than ever before," says Dr. Sithu Win, Cardiologist and Director of Echocardiography at ZSFG. "This integration has really sped up our workflow and enhanced our decision-making abilities, leading to better-informed treatment planning, which ultimately improves the delivery of patient care," he says. "Additionally, from a cost perspective, this software integrates seamlessly with our EPIC EMR, allowing us to continue using our existing EPIC CUPID reporting module without incurring additional expenses for a new reporting solution."
