GE Healthcare CardioSoft* Diagnostic System
Clinically connected. Simply smart.
CardioSoft Diagnostic System from GE Healthcare is more than a software program; it is a data acquisition and management solution that transforms your laptop/PC or computer network into an advanced diagnostic system. It enables users to easily acquire, analyze, store, and transport resting ECG, exercise stress tests, ambulatory blood pressure, and spirometry measurements.
CardioSoft supports an integrated continuum of care, offering:
- Seamless EMR connectivity for faster digital workflow and billing
- Access to patient data anytime, anyplace through CardioSoft Web
- Diagnostic confidence with proven Marquette* ECG analysis programs
The system is clinically precise, functionally simple, and completely connected to the demands of your practice and the needs of your patients.
All in one. No compromises.
Regardless of the size of your practice, clinic, or hospital, maintaining diagnostic data quality is crucial. CardioSoft connects to the full range of cardiology testing devices to deliver clear, reliable data for informed diagnoses. It allows users to do more with their data, streamlining the workflow process. Reports can be reviewed at a glance for complete diagnostic information, and data can be easily exported to EMR or PACS, or to a hospital's MUSE* Cardiology Information System for faster data review and billing, keeping the focus on patients rather than paperwork.

Versatile, expandable IT solutions.
CardioSoft delivers a scalable IT framework designed to grow with your practice, providing both access and security. It utilizes industry-standard communication protocols, including HL7, Digital Imaging and Communications in Medicine (DICOM), DICOM Modality Worklist, XML, and TCP/IP.
Compatibility: CardioSoft is compatible with Windows® XP Professional, Windows 7, Windows Server Operating Systems, and Citrix®.
Environments: The system operates as a standalone module or in a networked Local Area Network (LAN) environment with multiple acquisition and editing workstations.
Security and Compliance: CardioSoft protects data, systems, and investments through multi-level data security tools, including enhanced LAN connectivity with auto timeout and logins for optimized usage and server security. It can operate in traditional or Citrix® environments with data security measures for access control.
Access Information Easily: Enhanced LAN connectivity provides full access to raw test data for review and re-analysis. Historical patient data can be instantly compared on-screen to assess patient progress and support clinical decisions.
- Multiple cardiac and pulmonary procedures can be stored in one database for faster review and overread via direct EMR connectivity.
- The DICOM Modality Worklist supports bi-directional data exchange and simultaneous review of imaging and ECG data on PACS workstations.
- Pop-up medians in post-test reviews increase accuracy in assessing QRS changes over time.
- CardioSoft Web enables remote access to reports for resting ECG, spirometry, stress, and ambulatory blood pressure, allowing physicians to view reports from anywhere.

Efficient workflow for better quality of care.
CardioSoft helps healthcare providers care for more patients more efficiently by streamlining every point of care. It increases patient throughput through direct connectivity to EMR and diagnostic devices, enabling remote access to patient data and test results for faster review and diagnosis. Data can be exported via PDF, Microsoft® Word, Excel®, or XML, with PDF filenames automatically generated for accurate patient record matching. DICOM reports are automatically exported to PACS workstations for faster physician overread.
Workflow solutions streamline administration and billing, speeding up processes, reducing data entry errors, and supporting efficient charge capture. Direct EMR connectivity reduces errors and consolidates patient data. CardioSoft seamlessly connects with the MUSE Cardiology Information System for enhanced workflow benefits. It offers improved office-to-hospital connectivity and is cost-effective, providing full functionality from acquisition to reporting and EMR storage.
Image Description: A diagram illustrates the CardioSoft Workstation at the center, connected to various diagnostic modules such as CardioSoft Resting ECG, CardioSoft Stress, CardioSoft ABP, CardioSoft Spiro, MAC Resting ECG, CASE, and Holter. These modules communicate with the workstation via standard protocols like DICOM, HL7, and PDF, and the workstation integrates with external systems like PACS, MUSE, and EMR, also offering web access.
