Healthcare informatics developer Cerner of Kansas City, MO, will spotlight Millennium RadNet, its unified RadNet RIS and ProVision PACS; its PowerChart ECG; and its Millennium 2007 electronic medical record (EMR) system at McCormick Place later this month.
The latest version of Cerner's unified RadNet RIS/ProVision PACS features enhancements to optimize workflow, improve access to clinical information, and eliminate unnecessary clicks, the company said. An automated order approval and prioritization tool is included that allows a radiologist to review and approve a study based on the reason for the exam and clinical correlation found within an EMR. Once approved, the radiologist can forward the study to a scheduling queue based on priority, Cerner said.
Cerner will also feature its MultiMedia Foundation (MMF) within the Millennium RadNet, which integrates digital images and objects in an EMR, allowing for the compilation of a comprehensive patient record, the company said. The latest iteration permits DICOM ECG objects to be acquired and sent directly to the care provider team. The MMF feature provides for the storage and management of these objects, as well as radiology and cardiology images, documents, photographs, and video images.
Millennium RadNet is available now and can be scaled for a standalone imaging center up to a large, multifacility integrated delivery network (IDN), the company said.
The company's PowerChart ECG allows ECG data to be acquired and sent to an EMR without the need for an ECG management system, Cerner said. Utilizing DICOM connectivity, the firm said that healthcare professionals can store, retrieve, and analyze patient ECGs on any Cerner Millennium application with access to the flowsheet.
The PowerChart ECG is currently available worldwide, according to Cerner.
