A Cardiology EMR that caters to the needs of specialists needs to be capable of workflow capabilities and content specific to the speciality. Cardiologists have varying and complex needs in their field for they require an EMR solution that should boast compatibility with multiple modalities such as echocardiograms, treadmill stress tests, nuclear tests, stress echo’s etc. and configurability to their own workflows and methods.

Since this is a field where monitoring information often tends to be of a critical, life-and-death nature; such as the reception of laboratory test results, for example, it is important that the EMR allow for an alert system that notifies of any such results immediately upon their reception.

Having the various cardiology-specific requirements and features covered in an EMR such as DICOM (Digital Imaging and Communications in Medicine) compatibility for arteriograms when the specialists are conducting radiographic studies of arteries is imperative, but even more important are the sub-specialities that are usually not covered in general-purpose EMR solutions. In the case of Cardiology, they are Interventional Cardiology, Electrophysiology and Vascular Cardiology; all of which have been specifically catered to and covered in Allscripts MyWay.
