CUSTOMIZING DIAGNOSTIC CODES AND DESCRIPTIONS FOR AN ECG MANAGEMENT SYSTEM

摘要

An ECG data management system is provided which enables a hospital to standardize on a preferred set of diagnostic ECG codes and descriptors which are used with a variety of different ECG recording devices such as cardiographs, defibrillators, and patient monitors. A system administrator creates a preferred set of ECG codes and descriptors, preferably by editing a comprehensive general list of such codes and descriptors. The ECG codes of the ECG devices used by the hospital are mapped to the preferred codes. Reports produced by the management system are then produced which use the ECG codes preferred by the facility. Users may also create and maintain a favorites list of their own personal ECG codes and recall and use a favorites list during editing of an ECG report.
