2 WHERE IT ALL COMES TOGETHER MEDICONNECT AN OVERVIEW Integrating the latest IT technologies with medical expertise within an existing clinical infrastructure is one of the key challenges in healthcare, particularly in view of increased requirements for documentation and concurrent staffing cuts. The ability to record clinical data in a platform-independent system gives structure to workflows and processes. The results are available throughout the healthcare institution, which is an important step toward a holistic solution. ENDOSCOPY ECG PULMONOLOGY AND ICD PACEMAKER CATH LAB ECHO- CARDIOGRAPHY EFFICIENT AND SIMPLIFIED WORK PROCESSES including generation of findings on the latest technological platform STATISTICAL EVALUATIONS for all parameters, diagnoses and findings MANUFACTURER-INDEPENDENT EQUIPMENT INTEGRATION complete cardiology diagnostics covered by an integrated GUI ADVANTAGES INCORPORATED IN THE EXISTING IT INFRASTRUCTURE via standard interfaces

3 MEDICONNECT DICOM SERVER INDEPENDENCE FROM MANUFACTURERS THANKS TO MEDICONNECT Integrated presentation and storage for images, loops and measured values of ultrasound machines from all major manufacturers Processes are controlled by the MediConnect DICOM Server (DICOM Worklist) in conjunction with the MediConnect HL7 server Integrated into the existing IT infrastructure via the HL7 server DICOM Worklist HL7 Siemens Philips DICOM / DICOM SR HIS Toshiba GE HL7 DICOM Worklist Store PACS Ultrasound and PACS systems from different manufacturers are frequently used in parallel. MediConnect integrates the data from these isolated solutions and supports standardised process management. ADVANTAGES For example, all studies performed across different departments can be accessed without first having to find out which system is holding the data.

4 EFFICIENT FUNCTIONALITIES DICOM Viewer Presentation of images and loops, as well as the parallel display of different modalities Measurements (lengths and areas) Optional: 3D/4D measurements DICOM Structured Report Automatic integration of measured parameters Standardised archiving and display for all ultrasound devices DICOM Worklist Import of HL7 orders (ORM) with direct forwarding to the modality Receipt of DICOM image and measurement Archiving of DICOM image data in a central PACS Compatibility For older equipment which does not support the DICOM standard, we also offer >>frame grabbing<< solutions Findings User-customisable workflows: Classification of examinations with standardised database fields Syntax generator for finding texts Automated embedding of images and tables Structured description Images/loops Measured values Findings ADVANTAGES Significantly increased efficiency with concurrent improvement in reporting quality.

5 EASY AND CONVENIENT WORKFLOWS EXAMPLE Administration of a DICOM examination with the Worklist functionality. Alternatively, examination orders can be imported from the HIS. Scan patient ID/case number Schedule the exam (allocate to a device) Perform the exam, load imaging data and structured measurements, and create findings Automatically transmit findings and Echo data to HIS Provide billing codes Optional: forward image data to the PACS Examples of the preparation of cross-patient evaluations Number of examinations performed in the last three months Selection of patients with a LVEF <30 and QRS complexes >120 ms
