Kardia Health releases new echocardiography software

Kardia Health Systems Inc. has released its web-based Echocardiography Information Management System (EIMS), an echocardiography reporting and workflow solution that guides medical professionals through the complete echo process. The system generates ICAEL-compliant structured reports, and streamlines all echo workflow processes, from patient scheduling, through assignment of responsible healthcare personnel, to logical template-guided entry of echo information with easy-to-access clinical normal values and severity scales. The system automatically generates interpretive diagnostic statements and billing information.
