Advanced Clinical Application
Invia 4DM-SPECT for Nuclear cardiology quantification, Pie CAAS for Cath coronary and left ventricular analysis, Philips QLAB for Philips Ultrasound advanced analysis and quantification.
IT Standards
Windows operating platforms, Synapse Cardiovascular utilizes a standard Microsoft SQL Server relational database as well as HL7 and DICOM imaging and SR protocols. Validated to operate in a virtual operating environment.
Integration
Synapse Cardiovascular offers an extensive portfolio of DICOM, Hemodynamic, ECG, and HIS interfaces (HL7), including ADT, Orders, Results-out, and Billing. In addition, Synapse Cardiovascular has developed custom mechanisms to support the transfer of measurement data from legacy ultrasound systems. Synapse Cardiovascular is integrated with Synapse PACS for easy access to images and reports from either application, at any location.
Data Management
Administrative reporting to help facilities manage their departments effectively.
Virtualization
The healthcare market demands solutions with high performance, reliability and scalability. Compared to traditional server configurations, virtualization is a significantly lower total cost of ownership (TCO). The main factors are lower energy costs, less heat and thus savings in air conditioning and more efficient hardware utilization. The integration in an existing VMware environment and the use of available hardware resources (SAN,NAS,HSM) play a major role in this cost conscious market, using VMware developed Fujifilm solutions that address these key requirements. Fujifilm is an official member of the program's Technology Alliance Partner (TAP) and tests the Synapse products in the VMware headquarters in Palo Alto.
Benefits
Software only, Vendor and Hardware Neutral
Since it’s vendor-neutral , Synapse Cardiovascular integrates with the widest variety of device vendors in the market. And since it’s also hardware-neutral, it’ll fit in perfectly existing infrastructure.
Secure anytime, anywhere access
Synapse Cardiovascular is designed from the ground up for right to privacy compliance, with an architecture that protects against data loss by offering full logging, reporting and auditing. Web-based virtualization capabilities using both VMware and Citrix facilitate anytime, anywhere, secure access.
Automatic Clinical Report Summarization
Synapse Cardiovascular summarizes diagrams, schematics and measurement data to improve accuracy/reproducibility and reduce the number of mouse-clicks to create and finalize a clinical report.
Common Database AND User Interface
A common database and user interface across all modalities, Cath, Echo, Nuclear, Vascular US, etc., supports clinical and administrative efficiency and maximizes staff productivity.
Documentation across the Continuum of Care
Full structured reporting capability that’s customizable to fit the facility’s workflow, terminology, and standards of care.
Physician Reporting
Automatic summaries of editable coronary and vascular diagrams, wall-motion scoring and measurement data allow physicians to quickly and accurately document anatomical findings with minimal mouse clicks. Configurable narrative statements are automatically added to the final electronic report.
