The information management system is intended for use under the direct supervision of a healthcare practitioner for acquiring, displaying, trending, storing and transmitting various types of data, such as physiologic/hemodynamic, clinical, medical image and other related data. The system is capable of processing/analyzing information, such as multi-channel ECG signals, and performing other data management functions, such as creating reports. Data may be acquired from and/or sent to other devices, such as physiological monitoring systems, information management systems, image acquisition/storage devices, and other medical devices.
A dedicated assembly of devices designed to electronically receive, collect, store, manage, assist in analysis of, display, output, and distribute data, within or between healthcare facilities, to support the electronic registration and documentation of patient clinical data. The system typically enables healthcare providers to review and update patient medical records, place orders (e.g., for medications, procedures, tests), and sometimes view multimedia data from many specialties. The system consists of dedicated combined hardware (e.g., computers, terminals, network components) and software (typically embedded).
