'Pacecare' -- A Computerized Database for Pacemaker Follow-Up.
A computerized database for pacemaker follow-up has been designed to run on IBM compatible hard wore and to accept pulse generator and lead models of all manufacturers. Stored data includes patient, physician and implant details, indications for pacing, underlying rhythm, complications and managemen...

Stored data includes patient, physician and implant details, indications for pacing, underlying rhythm, complications and management, program settings, and follow-up measurements. Typing is minimized by the use of 'pop-up' lists and prepared pulse generator template displays. At each follow-up visit a patient's file is retrieved by surname or number, a visit record created, and measurements documented. As the template of the previous visit is used, recording of the clinic visit takes < 1 minute. Changes in pacing rates (base or magnet). pulse widths, lead thresholds, lead impedance, and buttery cell impedance can be displayed graphically for immediate recognition of end-of-life parameters or suspected malfunction. The program will print patient, implantation and clinic visit summary reports, clinic appointment lists, letters to patients, and annual reports. Two Melbourne hospitals have now entered over 3,600 patients into the database. Valuable information has been obtained regarding implantation details and trends with pulse generator and lead usage. Pacecare is a sophisticated, yet user friendly, computerized database for pacemaker follow-up. Recording of clinic visits is fast and changes in testing parameters can be recognized immediately. pubtype: Academic Journal doctype: Journal Article ougenre: Article language: English refInfo: holdings: @attributes: islocal: N |
