EchoReview
Cardiologist review, connected.
A cardiologist review platform for community and rural hospitals. Keep available cine clips, reader review, and signed reports in one workspace, with every step tracked.
Built around the cardiologist’s read, from study handoff to signed report.
The cardiologist makes every interpretation. Turnaround depends on reader availability and your facility’s workflow.
Demo cases use de-identified research clips.
From study handoff to signed review.
A shared workspace for the hospital team and reviewing cardiologist, with an audit trail from study arrival to chart return. Hospital approval and privacy checks remain required before a patient-data pilot.
- Step 1
Sonographer uploads the study
Upload permitted de-identified images, or evaluate the on-site connector for cine delivery. Site staff must check identifiers, including text burned into images; automatic stripping alone is not a privacy guarantee.
- Step 2
The study lands in the cardiologist's queue
Available studies and their review status are visible in the workspace. The connector must be configured and tested with the hospital before routine use; a stored clip is not necessarily a complete exam.
- Step 3
The hospital retains escalation responsibility
Urgent cases follow the facility’s existing escalation process. EchoReview does not replace direct communication with the cardiologist.
- Step 4
Cardiologist reviews in a split-screen reader
The cardiologist reviews available images and clips and records their own interpretation.
- Step 5
Sign & finalize with an audit trail
Password-confirmed sign-off locks the report. Turnaround timestamps, and reviewer identity are written to the audit log and exportable as CSV for the pilot study tracker. During the evaluation phase, staff copy the signed report and addendums as clean plain text for manual entry or attachment in your EHR (e.g. Epic), then confirm in EchoReview when it is in the chart. Direct HL7/FHIR export is planned for Phase 2.
1. Share studies
Bring permitted de-identified studies into a dedicated workspace. Keep research cases separate from hospital patient-care records.
On-site connector is outbound-only over HTTPS and strips identifiers before sending; see the IT Architecture & Security Brief. Site testing is required.
2. Audit trail
Every handoff is timestamped: who received the study, who reviewed it, when it was signed, and when staff confirmed it reached the chart.
3. Cardiologist sign-off
A qualified cardiologist reviews the available study evidence, records their own findings, and signs the interpretation.
Accountability for every off-site read
Eliminate lost file handoffs and keep a tamper-evident audit trail for every off-site read: who received the study, who reviewed it, when it was signed, and when staff confirmed it reached the chart. Speed is measured against your own baseline during the pilot, not promised up front.
Compare your current handoff
- × Check whether images arrive with the report
- × Measure time spent contacting the reviewing cardiologist
- × Record delays between study delivery, review, and sign-off
- Measure your facility’s actual baseline before the pilot
EchoReview workflow
- ✓ Evaluate study delivery from your imaging system
- ✓ Cardiologist sees available cine clips in one workspace
- ✓ Review status and signed reports stay together
- Pilot goal: no lost studies, a complete audit trail, and measured upload-to-chart time
