Cardiology
Cardiology clinic software
In cardiology, decisions come from the results of several devices meeting in one patient: ECG, Holter, ambulatory blood pressure, echo and lab. HekimBis gathers these results on the same card as the patient's cardiac history, vital trend and risk score; a critical result stays an open task until you acknowledge it.
A result from the device is in front of you, already matched to the patient
A cardiology clinic moves fast: an ECG is taken, the patient enters the exam, the result is in front of you. The workspace keeps that order; the result from the device is matched to the patient, and on the first screen you see the report, the vital trend and the comparison with the previous ECG.
When the ECG of a patient with palpitations is taken, the result appears on the patient card; you compare it with the previous record, order a 24-hour Holter, and when the report arrives the summary measurements attach to the record. If a critical finding is flagged, a notification goes to the responsible physician; the risk score does not become final until you validate it.
The report panel and the validated risk score side by side
The panel has three tabs: ECG (report, measurement summary and comparison with the previous record), Holter and ambulatory blood pressure (summary values and the distribution across the day), and echo (measurements and the report link). Beside it is the risk score card: the score is calculated, its inputs are listed, and while it awaits clinician validation it appears as a draft; it enters the record once you approve it. The source, device and matching status of every result are written out.

Three needs of a cardiology visit
- Cardiac history and vital trend
- Earlier events, medications and the blood pressure and pulse trend are in the first section of the patient card.
- Critical result flow
- A critical finding is sent to the responsible physician and stays open until acknowledged; an escalation rule runs when needed.
- Follow-up plan
- Check interval, test orders and the medication plan are tied to reminders; a patient who does not come generates a task.
From the device result to the physician's approval
The device result is received and matched to the patient, and you review it. A critical finding is notified, and the result attaches to the record and, with your approval, to the portal. A result that does not match goes into quarantine and needs a human check.
Linked to record and portal
The result is linked to the record; portal release needs physician approval.
- The process is complete here.
All steps
- 01 Device result received (Device) An ECG, Holter or echo result arrives as a report and measurements.
- 02 Patient and order matching (Matching) The result is matched to the patient identity and the order.
- 03 Physician review (Physician) The physician reviews the result together with earlier records.
- 04 Critical finding notification (Physician) A critical finding is notified to the responsible physician and acknowledgement is awaited.
- 05 Linked to record and portal (Record and portal) The result is linked to the record; portal release needs physician approval.
Alternative path from 02 Patient and order matching; it returns to the main flow at 03 Physician review.
- 02a Non-matching result: quarantine (Matching) If the identity does not match, the result is never linked automatically.
- 02b Human review (Matching) The result is matched to the right patient or rejected.
Alternative path from 04 Critical finding notification; it returns to the main flow at 04 Critical finding notification.
- 04a No acknowledgement yet (Physician) If no acknowledgement arrives in time, the task stays open.
- 04b Escalation (Physician) The notification is escalated to a second person and retried.
05 Linked to record and portal
Device flow in cardiology
ECG, Holter and echo results attach to the patient card as reports or measurements.
- ECG
- The report and measurement summary enter the record.
- Holter and ambulatory blood pressure
- Summary values and the report attach to the patient card.
- Echo
- Measurements and the report link are added to the file.
- Laboratory
- Lipid and cardiac panels are shown.
- Vital sign devices
- Blood pressure, pulse and saturation are carried into the visit.
Common questions about cardiology software
Is there a separate profile for cardiology?
Yes. Cardiology is one of the defined clinical profiles: cardiac history, vital trend, ECG and echo reports, follow-up plan and clinician-validated risk scores. It is versioned and passes two separate clinical sign-offs before release.
How does a risk score become final?
The score is calculated and appears as a draft; it becomes final in the record once the clinician validates it. Interpreting the score belongs to the physician.
Are my ECG and Holter devices supported?
Device connections are verified per manufacturer, exact model, protocol and version, and the verified ones are listed. A PDF or file from a device that is not on the list can be imported with a note that it is not integrated.
How does the result reach the patient?
Results are published in the portal after you approve them; notifications carry no health data.
How are images used?
Echo and other imaging reports attach to the patient card, and the HekimBis viewer is for clinical assessment and comparison.
Can it be used together with the pulmonology profile?
Yes. The two profiles in the cardiopulmonary family are defined separately, and one clinic can use both.
Who is notified of a critical result, and how?
A critical finding is sent to the responsible physician through the defined channel with retries; it stays an open task until the physician acknowledges it, and escalation runs if needed. The notification carries no health data.
