ECG Workflow Challenges in Cardiology: The Case for Integrated CVIS Management
Every year, cardiology departments perform tens of thousands of electrocardiograms: resting 12-lead, stress ECGs, Holter monitors, and wearable device recordings that stream data through the night. ECGs are among the most frequently ordered diagnostic tests in medicine, foundational to everything from a routine annual visit to a STEMI workup in the emergency department. And yet, […]
Telecardiology: Expanding Access to Cardiac Expertise Through Remote Imaging
Healthcare systems across the country are facing a growing challenge; demand for cardiovascular care is rising while the number of practicing cardiologists struggles to keep pace. As hospitals expand services, open new outpatient centers, and support regional care networks, many are turning to telecardiology and remote imaging workflows to ensure patients receive timely, high-quality care. […]
Seeing the Full Picture of Patient Care: The Role of Enterprise Imaging
Healthcare Is Moving Beyond Isolated Moments Healthcare has long been organized around episodes: a visit, a scan, a procedure, a discharge. Each moment is documented, stored, and acted on, often effectively in isolation. But patients don’t experience care that way. For them, care is a continuum. A journey that unfolds over time, across locations, specialties, […]
Interoperability in Healthcare: Why “Data Exchange” Isn’t Enough (and What Clinicians Actually Need)
Interoperability is one of the most-used words in healthcare IT and one of the least satisfying in real life. In slide decks and RFPs, it’s often treated like a checklist item: connect system A to system B; exchange data; done. But in the day-to-day experience of clinicians, administrators, and IT leaders, interoperability is not a […]
AI in Medical Imaging: Building a Scalable, Future-Ready Strategy
Artificial intelligence has become impossible to ignore in healthcare. Across the industry, AI in medical imaging is positioned as the next major transformation, promising faster reads, smarter workflows, and improved outcomes. Yet for many healthcare organizations, the reality looks different. Despite rapid innovation, the market remains fragmented, adoption is inconsistent, and the return on investment […]
What to Look for When Choosing a PACS System
Selecting the right PACS (Picture Archiving and Communication System) is one of the most important technology decisions a healthcare organization can make. A well-designed PACS system does more than store images — it streamlines workflows, improves diagnostic accuracy, and connects care teams across departments. But with so many options available, how do you know which […]

Strain Reimbursement: Understanding Strain Analysis in Echocardiography
As healthcare technology advances, so does the complexity and accuracy of diagnostic tools. One such advancement in cardiology is strain analysis, particularly Left Ventricular (LV) strain analysis, which is increasingly important in diagnosing and managing various heart conditions. For healthcare providers, understanding strain reimbursement for these advanced diagnostic techniques is crucial. What is LV Strain […]
Cost Efficiency: On-Prem vs Cloud PACS for Cardiology Practices
When it comes to managing medical images and data for cardiology practices, there are two main options: on-premise PACS (Picture Archiving and Communication System) and cloud PACS. Both have their own advantages and disadvantages, but when it comes to cost efficiency, which one is better for your cardiology PACS needs? In this article, we’ll compare […]
