Cardiac Completes Certification For HeartCentrix With
NextGen
Cardiac Science Corporation, a global leader in advanced cardiac diagnosis,
resuscitation, rehabilitation, and informatics products, said it completed
certification for its HeartCentrix ECG informatics software with NextGen
Healthcare Information Systems. NextGen is a leading developer and provider of
computer based practice management and electronic medical record (EMR) systems
for medical group practices and healthcare systems.
Featuring the industry's most robust cardiology knowledgebase, the NextGen EMR
system is used by more than 1,500 clients nationwide including many leading
cardiology practices. These current clients, as well as future clients, will be
readily able to take advantage of connectivity to the HeartCentrix informatics
software. In addition, the integration will be leveraged through the tens of
thousands in Cardiac Science's installed base of customers.
Designed to integrate seamlessly EMR and other information systems, HeartCentrix
solutions help streamline workflow in multiple health care environments.
HeartCentrix which enables seamless data transfer from Burdick and Quinton
electrocardiograph (ECG) devices, cardiac stress, and Holter monitoring devices
to physician EMR software can be installed with a new NextGen EMR
implementation, or just as easily into an existing NextGen account.
Tony Titus, vice president, marketing, Cardiac Science, said, "HeartCentrix and
NextGen recently began deployment for their first joint installation, a multi
site cardiology practice of more than 60 physicians. Pairing HeartCentrix with
NextGen connects diagnostic devices and EMR systems together for officewide
efficiencies, and a greater ROI on the EMR investment."
