For Physicians

The Cardiovascular News Beat

February 2009

State-of-the-Art at SBHCS

The Saint Barnabas Health Care System’s (SBHCS) vision to integrate and standardize its six Heart Centers is rapidly taking shape. We shared with you in October – in the first issue of The Cardiovascular News Beat – an ambitious project underway that will
bring new imaging data and management technologies to our hospitals. This issue outlines current measures with Philips Healthcare, Lumedx, General Electric and others to move toward a state-of-the-art, digital cardiovascular care environment – one which
will improve communication and efficiencies among cardiologists, cardiothoracic surgeons and clinical staff.

The first two issues of The Cardiovascular News Beat focused on technology assessments. Advances in medical care are equally important. Therefore, the newsletter will also begin to feature changes in clinical services that are available. If you are providing a new service to your patients and would like to see it featured in this
newsletter, please email cvinformatics@barnabashealth.org.
