McKesson Cardiology™
Bringing together all of the cardiovascular information
you need into a single platform
McKesson Cardiology is a comprehensive, single system Cardiovascular Information Solution (CVIS) that
integrates multi-modality imaging and reporting from foetal to adult, non-invasive to invasive.
McKesson Cardiology
Solution Design
McKesson Cardiology is designed
from the ground up to bring together
all of the information you need into a
single platform — a true cardiovascular
information system (CVIS). Our CVIS
is designed to feature a single database
design to support the workflows
common with:
•Cardiac and Peripheral Catheterisation
•EP & Device Management
•Haemodynamic Monitoring
•Echocardiography
•Vascular Ultrasound
•Nuclear Cardiology
•ECG Management
•Stress, Holter & Ambulatory BP
The single database, single application
design provides the entire care team with
instantaneous access to the complete
cardiovascular record including all
images, reports and waveforms at any
workstation or on the web.
The system is based on the industry
standards of DICOM and HL7, while
adhering to the integration frameworks
articulated by IHE. Designed to work in
a multi-vendor environment, McKesson
Cardiology helps to preserve your
existing capital investment in modality
equipment while allowing a best-ofbreed option for future purchases.
Enterprise access
With our solution, we offer the
cardiovascular specialists, clinicians,
administrators and other caregivers
inside or outside the hospital the ability
to safely and securely access a patient’s
entire cardiovascular file, including the
ability to complete and sign reports.
With access to the entire cardiovascular
file, we help you and your care teams
provide the safest, most efficient care.
Staff can use our browser- based image
and report review, or a smart-client
application that provides a similar
user experience to the clinical review
workstation. On the smart-client
application, users can conduct advanced
image review such as multi-modality,
side-by-side display, full reporting
capabilities and sign off.
McKesson Cardiology
includes:
•Single imaging and reporting
database presents the entire
cardiovascular patient history —
from foetal to adult
•Enterprise wide access to images,
reports, waveforms and other
cardiovascular information
•Fully integrated cath lab (ICL) and
includes a full end to end cath
workflow, pre procedure charting,
imaging, reporting, haemo, BCIS
and inventory
•Comprehensive analytical tools to
help increase and improve efficiency
and quality of care
McKesson Cardiology:
•Provides the complete
cardiovascular patient history at
any workstation or on the web to
facilitate timely decision making
•Eliminates duplicate data entry to

other hospital information systems
and imaging modalities
•Allows administration to better
monitor cost performance and
efficiency
Integrated
Cath Lab
EP, Pacing
Our CVIS collects data from multiple users, allowing you to
access critical data anytime, anywhere.
Integrated cath lab
EP & Pacing
Our unique design for an integrated cath
lab (ICL). McKesson Cardiology helps to:
Our EP solution breaks the traditional
silos in the EP lab by aggregating data
from multiple users and systems into
a single comprehensive electronic EP
record. From diagnostic procedures
through ablations to implants,
McKesson’s EP solution helps to
streamline the workflow throughout the
EP department. Key solution elements
include EP structured reporting,
integration with some EP recording
systems, device management and
charge capture.
•Achieve one
complete patient
cath record that presents patient
demographics, medication
information, haemodynamic
waveforms, fractional flow reserve
(FFR) measurements, images and
procedural information
•Increase physician structured reporting
adoption, by allowing them to complete
the cath report even while the cath lab
staff finalises the haemo report
•Simplify registry submission, since
data collected at the point of care
automatically becomes part of the
submission data for the BCIS registry
• Reduce billing errors, missed charges
and improve inventory management
as procedural information, supplies
and devices are documented at the
point of care
Echo, Vascular & Nuclear
McKesson Cardiology is designed
to provide full support for the echo,
vascular, nuclear cardiology and ECG
departments, and helps to increase
the efficiency through web-enabled,
anywhere, anytime access to image
viewing and reporting.
•Comprehensive support for echo,
stress and vascular ultrasound
•Streamline clinician reporting with:
– Automatic measurement import
from modalities
– Automatic range checking and
sentence generation
– BSE finding statements
– Offline measurements tools
–Fast, easy reporting capability
•Congenital echo support for foetal to
adult patients
– Accelerate reporting by carrying
forward previous procedure
information and “single-click”
report building using disease
templates
– Aid in decision support by providing
graphical measurement trending
along with Z-score calculations
