ScImage and Philips Team Up to Provide Coordinated, Efficient ECG Workflow

Integration Between Philips Healthcare’s PageWriter TC Cardiographs and ScImage’s PicomEnterprise PACS Simplifies Workflow and Broadens Lineup of Worklist-Enabled Cardiographs As a result of the longstanding relationship between Philips Healthcare and ScImage, Inc., the two companies are pleased to announce a newly developed integration option between ScImage’s PicomEnterprise PACS and the Philips PageWriter TC series cardiographs. As a team, the two companies believe this interface will greatly simplify clinical ECG workflow and reduce the complexity normally associated with custom integration. This new bi-directional interface enhances productivity and reduces transcription errors during the ECG acquisition process by transmitting modality worklist from ScImage PACS directly to PageWriter TC cardiographs. Additionally, this collaborative interface makes the resulting ECGs available throughout the enterprise by direct uploading of ECGs from Philips PageWriter TC cardiographs into the ScImage PACS. The companies broadened their working relationship that originally saw the integration of Philips’ QLab ultrasound software integrated within the ScImage PACS.
