Integrated cardiovascular care Because every
heart is unique
An evolving cardiology landscape
Cardiovascular disease is the number one cause of death globally and it’s on the rise. At the same time the patient population is growing, it’s also becoming more complex. More people are suffering from a range of confounding comorbidities that necessitate more personalized treatments. Combined with changing regulations and fewer resources, health systems face a significant challenge to provide high-level individualized care to complex heart disease patients without incurring incremental risks or costs.
Find out how Philips can help you navigate the evolving cardiology landscape.
Dr. José Luis Zamorano, Professor of Medicine, Head of Cardiology, University Hospital Ramón y Cajal Carretera de Colmenar, discusses the importance of a healthy lifestyle in improving the prognosis of heart disease and the need to transition from a reactive care protocol to preventative care that starts in the home, schools and community.
77% of AMI patients have one or more comorbidity3
74% CHF patients have one or more comorbidity4
A path to personalized, predictive and empowered heart care across the health continuum
Balancing the need to provide preventive care while treating patients currently suffering from cardiac disease creates competing priorities with the exact same goal — to provide more effective, more efficient care and improve patient engagement and experience.
Five clinical focus areas that are critical to advancing cardiology care
Early heart failure decompensation detection
The ability to detect, alarm and track key measurements that predict risk for decompensation and adjust care accordingly.
Bring triage to the afflicted
Advanced detection, diagnosis and decision making at the event enabled by improved integration, coordination and information sharing between EMS and ED to reduce first medical contact to intervention time.
Proactive pathways for high risk patients
Self-monitoring solutions for at-risk cardiac disease populations that measure, monitor and motivate patients to make lifestyle choices for better health.
Care coordination in post-discharge
The ability to provide post-discharge coordinated care to support patients at home and reduce readmissions.
Integrated, total procedure solutions
Managed services and patient-centric solutions that integrate across clinical disciplines to increase operational and clinical efficiency while lowering costs.
Confront the challenges of changing, complex cardiovascular patients
Self-monitoring, CVD prevention and screening solutions — combined with tools that make real-time diagnosis easier and individualized treatment possible — can allow patients to be more active in their care plan and clinical teams more efficient and effective throughout the care journey.
Using advanced technologies and information management systems enables you to streamline workflows; adopt new techniques, processes and procedures faster; and leverage rich clinical data to elevate care and the patient experience for those suffering from acute, critical and chronic cardiac conditions.
