Cardiology Department

Cardiology Department – Advanced Cardiac Care & Patient Management

The Cardiology Department module in DOCare offers a complete digital solution for managing all aspects of cardiac care, from outpatient consultations to advanced procedures and inpatient monitoring. It provides real-time tracking of patient visits, appointments, and token status, along with detailed cardiology case history and treatment analytics. Doctors can monitor diagnostics such as ECG, ECHO, stress tests, and lab reports seamlessly, while procedures like angiography, stent placements, and pacemaker insertions are tracked efficiently. The module supports comprehensive billing, package management, and insurance processing, ensuring smooth financial operations. Alerts for critical cardiac events, abnormal vitals, and follow-ups enhance patient safety. Resource allocation, staff utilization, and OT/ICU coordination are also optimized. Overall, DOCare ensures high-quality, streamlined cardiac care with full compliance and reporting capabilities.

Patient Visit Summary

DOCare provides a comprehensive view of all cardiology patient visits, including daily counts of new, follow-up, and emergency consultations. It categorizes cases by type—hypertension, IHD, arrhythmias, heart failure, and congenital heart disease—allowing targeted care. OPD to IPD referrals are tracked seamlessly, ensuring smooth patient transitions. Age, gender, and condition-wise demographics help analyze trends and optimize departmental resources. Historical visit trends aid in long-term planning and patient care strategies.

Appointment & Token Status

Track cardiologist-wise appointments and token activities in real time with DOCare. The system provides insights into walk-in vs scheduled visits and turnaround times for efficient workflow management. Missed or rescheduled appointments are flagged automatically, while follow-up trends are monitored to ensure continuity of care. Consultation durations and daily load metrics help optimize staffing and patient scheduling. This enhances patient satisfaction and reduces wait times.

Procedure & Cath Lab Tracking

DOCare enables scheduling, monitoring, and reporting of all cardiac procedures, including angiography, angioplasty, and pacemaker insertions. Cath Lab utilization is tracked in real time, showing pending, ongoing, and completed procedures. Post-procedure observations, complications, and recovery status are recorded for each patient. Day-care and inpatient procedure summaries ensure accurate resource allocation and procedural efficiency. Alerts notify staff of upcoming critical interventions.

Case History & Treatment Analytics

DOCare maintains complete case histories for acute and chronic cardiac patients, including prior MI, stent placement, or bypass surgeries. Treatment outcomes are tracked, analyzing medication versus procedural improvement. Risk stratification helps doctors identify high-risk patients. Follow-up compliance reports ensure patients receive continuous care. Analytics on recurring conditions and interventions support evidence-based decision-making.

Billing & Package Insights

DOCare streamlines cardiology billing for consultations, procedures, and cardiac packages such as Cardiac Checkup, Heart Failure Monitoring, and Post-Op Care. Revenue can be tracked by doctor, procedure, or package type. Insurance claims are managed seamlessly, with clear reports on out-of-pocket payments. Detailed analytics help monitor revenue trends, package utilization, and departmental financial performance.
