"IntelliSpace Cardiovascular enables clinicians to take a holistic view of the patient's cardiovascular journey with one workspace and the ability to dive deeper into more clinical depths," said Yair Briman, Senior Vice President and General Manager of Healthcare IT for Philips.

Improving interoperability to enhance collaboration

By centralizing patient data from different areas of the hospital, IntelliSpace Cardiovascular helps facilitate a streamlined workflow and improve patient care. The new way information is displayed allows all care team members to view the patient's history spanning diagnosis, treatment and therapy, fostering collaboration and potentially eliminating unnecessary and repetitive tests.

IntelliSpace Cardiovascular can be easily incorporated into the existing infrastructure to provide clinical depth without adding complexity. Its scalable design allows clinicians to adapt the solution as their needs evolve. IntelliSpace Cardiovascular offers a suite of interoperable clinical modules designed to help improve workflow across the entire cardiovascular service line from virtually anywhere.
