Diagnostic ECG

Fast, friendly and familiar

Imagine having ECGs instantly and securely accessible from virtually any PC – anywhere in your network.

We can make this your reality.

Our technology gives you the ability to view - and distribute - critical clinical data in real-time. This advantage can help to improve patient outcomes and streamline workflow.

No boundaries, no limits
Better, more informed decisions can be made with access to current and previous ECGs. Philips cardiograph and ECG management systems make that possible - from wherever you are, twenty-four hours a day:

Anywhere there’s a PC - at the hospital, at the office, even in a private residence
Even Patient Monitors and Central Stations can access ECGs to support decision-making
Whatever your network’s size – one hospital or 10, one PC or 20,000
At every critical decision point – office, ambulance, emergency department, special procedure area, hospital ward or your home office

How is this possible?

We build our solutions around the latest technology
The computer and consumer electronics industries advance at a rapid pace. Our ECG solutions are in sync with the latest innovations of both:

Wireless technology
Broad networking capabilities
Powerful encryption technology
Security tools
Storage devices – ever-evolving with ever-increasing capacities

It's not proprietary

We configure our products around industry-standard platforms. And we don’t use the proprietary platforms associated with older generation products.

Ask any IT professional:

Proprietary platforms often are difficult to integrate with the established hospital infrastructure

The advantages of the standard-platform approach are clear:

Future advances can be readily implemented
Patient data acquired and stored on standard platforms is more readily accessible

A familiar face

Configured around Microsoft standard software platforms, our cardiographs and ECG Management systems offer a familiar look and feel as well as standard interfaces that accept additional tools. You work easier and smarter.

IT concerns – as important as patient care
If it won’t work, you can’t use it to help your patients. Today’s hospital information environment is remarkably complex. Seamless integration is a primary concern. Our ECG products are designed to melt into your existing IT infrastructure.

Equally essential is compliance with hospital and regulatory standards and policies. This includes, among other issues:

HIPPA and 21CFR considerations
Established security provisions and back-up procedures
Accommodating virus-protection policies, including definition updates
Sending data securely over hospital-standard and wireless local area networks (LANs)
Remote access through virtual private networks (VPNs)

Philips ECG – secure and ready

If you’re looking to improve workflow, the way to do that is by moving information fast – making it securely accessible in real time. Configured around standard platforms, we’re able – and ready – to embrace the latest technologies, whatever they may be.
