What happens when cardiologists have had enough with general EHRs that know nothing about cardiology? They formulate a plan to treat those issues, and here is how they did it with a system they designed from the ground up.
Discover the Cardiovascular Suite, including Cardiology EHR & Diagnostics, developed by the heart specialists at Objective Medical Systems.

How a group of cardiologists are changing heart care
A few years ago, several frustrated cardiologists discussed the many challenges they and their
patients faced in their industry.
Without a specialized heart database, cardiologists often find themselves spending a lot of
time scanning paperwork and digging through graphs and health records to try to evaluate
a patient’s condition. If a patient had been treated at a different hospital or medical center,
important pieces of their history — prescriptions they had taken, even the outcomes of
surgeries — were sometimes inaccessible altogether.
This meant doctors had no easy way to record and compare heart data, the kind of information
that in the most serious cases can help determine whether a critical prescription or procedure
could save someone’s life.
Those same cardiologists ultimately did what doctors do best -- they figured out an effective
treatment plan to alleviate those issues.
A team of cardiovascular specialists developed EHR software and diagnostic tools to efficiently
manage vital patient information for cardiology practices, ultimately founding Objective
Medical Systems. This niche technology has been able to streamline the work of cardiologists
and reduce human error, as well as save time and money for both the doctors and the patients.
Objective Medical Systems caters to the busy cardiology practice or hospital service line looking
for a cardiovascular information system providing structured reporting across all diagnostic
modalities. In addition, OMS offers a Stage 2 certified electronic health record built from the
groundupforcardiologyspecialists.Bymaintaininganarrowfocusoncardiology,OMSisableto

OMS CARDIOLOGY SUITE
4. Objective Medical Systems provides cardiologists a best in class cardiovascular information
system.
• OMS Cardiology Suite offers comprehensive reporting on a total of 15 cardiovascular
modalities, encompassing both invasive and non-invasive diagnostic tests.
• OMS Cardiology Suite may be used to make your existing clinic or hospital based EHR
much better suited for cardiology.
What is unique about OMS?
OMS was designed from the ground up by practicing cardiologists.
Furthermore,OMSinterfacesdirectlywithmedicaldevices,analyzingthousandsofdiscrete
data elements in the background to provide the physician with actionable intelligence at
the point of care. In turn, OMS creates an ICAEL, ICAVL, and ICANL compliant report for
echo, vascular ultrasound, myocardial perfusion imaging et al., while eliminating dictation,
transcription and free-text typing.

The system receives data from dicom compliant medical devices. Once the data is received by the
OMS, it consults the appropriate reference range of values from its default database and generates

Nuclear Impression
• This is an abnormal perfusion study.
• This scan is suggestive of moderate risk for future cardiovascular events.
• The left ventricular cavity is noted to be markedly enlarged on the stress study. The
left ventricular ejection fraction was calculated to be 73% and the left ventricular
global function is normal.
• There is evidence of abnormal lung activity in stress studies. There is evidence of
abnormal RV myocardium activity in stress studies.
• Stress ECG is discordant with perfusion study; need clinical correlation.

5. Can you provide more
information on your cardiovascular diagnostic
modules? How does this help my HOSPITAL OR CLINIC?
• OMS eliminates the need to dictate, transcribe or type diagnostic reports.
• By interfacing directly with medical devices, OMS increases efficiency and eliminates
errors caused by manual entry.
• The most efficient, intuitive way to document diagnostic procedures on the market today.
Increase quality and throughput while eliminating frustration.
• CANL, ICAEL and ICAVL compliant.
• 100% intra and inter-modality comparison of diagnostic data.
• Built in capability to capture Appropriate Use Criteria (AUC).

Intra-modality comparison (Echocardiogram)
This echocardiogram when compared with the latest echocardiogram-TTE (Heart Clinic) dated 2/26/2013
shows:
1. Ejection fraction remains unchanged (45%).
2. Increased left atrium size from mildly increased to moderately increased is noted in the current study.
3. Mitral valve area by pressure halftime essentially remained unchanged (3.67 cm2
previous study, 3.73
cm2
current study).

OMS MOBILE
The OMS Mobile Platform will allow physicians to review critical patient information directly from an
iOS Device. The capabilities include the review of diagnostic studies, labs, allergies and meds, as well as
the clinic schedule. In addition, the physician will be able to dictate directly into the device, with voice
recognition transcribing the dictation and seamlessly synchronizing with the EHR. Due to the unique
nature of the OMS diagnostic reporting solution, dictation is not necessary for invasive and non-invasive
procedures.

Cardiovascular medicine is on the cusp of an exciting transition towards data integration,
analytics and real time patient surveillance.
In 2010, the CDC reported that the total costs of cardiovascular diseases in the United
States were estimated to be $444 billion with the treatment of these diseases accounting
for about $1 of every $6 spent on health care in this country.
Given this huge cost outlay, the information technology sector has to evolve products,
services and delivery models that improve data services and enable physicians to manage
their patient populations with less risk and higher quality at a lower cost.
In a world where medical software is systemically plagued by complexity, OMS is helping
cardiologists take back control. Created by and for cardiologists, allow us to restore your
faith in what’s possible.
