CVIS

Cardiovascular information systems (CVIS) include electronic reporting systems for all aspects of the cardiovascular service line. These health informatics systems often incorporate cardiac PACS and reporting systems for echocardiography, cath lab, cardiac surgery, electrophysiology (EP), ECG and diagnostic testing. Today, these systems are often web-enabled or web-based and integrated tightly with a healthcare system's electronic medical record (EMR).

An example of the CV Wizard clinical decision support (CDS) software showing a screen designed to help patients better understand their risks and areas they need to work on. It is graphically based to enable patients who have a lower level of literacy better understand their cardiovascular risks, rather than using a long text report.

The term cardiovascular information systems (CVIS) and cardiovascular picture and archive systems (CPACS) are often used interchangeably. CPACS is a commodity and a true CVIS is an asset that supports management, marketing, decision making and clinical excellence of the cardiovascular service line.
