Features and options
Features and options The system is available in Resting ECG or Stress and Resting ECG configurations. These features and options are available for both configurations of the system. ◆
Users-the system provides interlinking for a maximum of four concurrent users plus one server user. You can upgrade to add additional users. For information, contact your sales representative or Customer Care.
◆
Saving data and settings-when any user is logged in, the application creates a connection (user) for the server. All patient's data and records are saved in the database on this server. The settings for the system are saved in the database. All users access the same settings. If the settings are changed in one of the networked computers, these changes become effective for all the other users after restarting the application.
◆
Updating data-listing of patient data and records are updated on the system workstations every 30 seconds.
◆
Data protection-the application has a locking mechanism that prevents users from editing the same record at the same time. If the network is down, this locking mechanism cannot connect the server and workstations. If the same record is edited, the application uses the most recent version when the network is restored.
◆
Re-analysis-if the test has not been saved, then the system re-analyzes the ECG test whenever age and gender are changed. For automatic re-analysis: •
USB-the acquisition device must remain connected to the system
•
Wireless-the acquisition device must remain in acquisition mode
Note: An optional re-analysis dongle eliminates the need to have the acquisition devices connected to the system. For information contact your sales representative or Customer Care. ◆
HL7 connectivity-HL7 is a connectivity option. This option requires a specialized dongle from Cardiac Science. For information, contact your sales representative or Customer Care.
◆
EMR connectivity-you can connect the application to your EMR partner through the Cardiac Science HeartCentrix product. For information, contact your sales representative or Customer Care.
◆
Database records-the system has a DB (database) replication feature that allows you to duplicate the database that exists on the server so that it also exists on the client. Using this option increases the amount of disk space required by the client. For more information, see the CareCenter MD™ System Setup Guide.
