CompuMed premieres telecardiology EMR

CompuMed is previewing its new CompuBRIDGE telecardiology EMR system at the National Conference on Correctional Health Care (NCCHC) this week in Chicago.

According to the Los Angeles-based company, CompuBRIDGE EMR is designed to capture and integrate electrocardiogram results and over-reads into an existing EMR system. Integration does not require the practice to employ additional software, hardware or specialized servers. CompuMed said it expects to release its CompuBRIDGE EMR system after testing with beta customers.

CCTA is being utilized more and more for the diagnosis and management of suspected coronary artery disease. An international group of specialists shared their perspective on this ongoing trend.

The new technology shows early potential to make a significant impact on imaging workflows and patient care.
