4 Managing Patients
Since information input is easier than that of the Electrocardiograph, managing patients in
CardioVista can improve ECG examination efficiency. For example, all patient demographics
is input before ECG examination, so when performing ECG examination, one only needs to
quickly input necessary patient demographics. After ECG examination is completed and
report is imported, CardioVista can automatically match patient demographics input in
advance into patient reports.

4.1 Patient Record

The patient record area of [Patient Record] shows the information of multiple patients in the
form of a list, see 3.1 Patient Record Interface.

The patient record is sorted according to [Last Acquisition Time ], with the latest acquired
report on the top. Reordering can be achieved by clicking list tiles in the patient record

When a patient is selected, all report lists of this patient will be shown synchronously in the
[ECG Report].

Text in red represents that this patient has unread reports. After all reports are viewed,
relevant text will be shown in black.

Text in red represents that this report remains unbrowsed.
Relevant text will be shown in black after the report is
browsed.
The report status is [No] when imported from
Electrocardiograph to CardioVista for the first time.
For the way to browse reports, see 5.5 View Report.
When patient demographics in the patient report is not
consistent with that in CardioVista, the column [Reviewed]
in the corresponding report will show [？]. Otherwise
unshown.

2. Confirm that the network connection between CardioVista and Electrocardiograph is
normal.
3. Send patient report to CardioVista when completing ECG examination for patient or
when browsing historical reports.

For details please refer to the Operator’s manual of BeneHeart R3/R3A/R12/R12A

Electrocardiograph.

NOTES
 When importing patient reports, the format of reports should all be [Mindray],
otherwise CardioVista may report Errors or even delete documents in wrong
formats, causing data loss.
 When importing patient reports, CadioVista will only import patient reports under
the current directory, patient reports or other documents under its
subdirectory(ies) will be abandoned.

5-3
 When importing patient data, the following situations may occur:
 When importing patient data, if the name of patient data document to be imported is the
same as that of a document in the storage location, then prompt box as followed will pop
up:

 If selecting [Yes], then rewrite original reports with new reports.

 If selecting [Yes to all], then once patient reports with same name occur, rewrite
them all with new reports.
 If selecting [No], then continue to import reports other than this one.
 If selecting [Cancel] or clicking the button in the top right corner of the
prompt box, then close the prompt box and stop importing patient reports.
 When copying documents, CardioVista does not support any other operation until the
data import completed and interface operations are restored.
 If the residual space is not enough during importing, the system will stop the report
importing and an error prompt box will pop out. Re-import reports after deleting some
patient reports and making enough residual space.

5.3 Export Report

Patient reports can be backed up to other folders, other storage disks in the network, mobile
storage media, etc. through report export, in this way patient reports for the long-term can be
stored, and they can be imported again when needed for review.

5.6.1 Matching Patient
CardioVista will automatically match the patient demographics extant in the software with
the report ID in the imported report. If patient demographics in the patient report is not
consistent with that in CardioVista, the column [Read] in the corresponding report will show
[?].

Since patient demographics input on the Electrocardiograph is inconvenient, the patient

report modification and patient demographics supplement can be done after the report is
uploaded to CardioVista, even changing the patient the report belonged to.

There are four ways to modify the patient demographics of the report:
 Drag
Select one or multiple report(s) in the ECG report area, then drag it to the line the
corresponding patient located in the [Patient Record] to modify patient demographics of the
report
 Cover the report patient with local patient
1. Enter the [Patient Record] interface.
2. Select one patient report from the ECG Report area.

5-13
3. Click [Modify] to access the following window.

Where, [Patient Demographics] on the left is patient basic information in CardioVista,

and [Information From Current Report] on the right is patient basic information in
the patient report imported.
4. Click [Copy] to cover the information of [Information From Current Report] with
the corresponding information listed in [Patient Demographics].

 Rewrite the report with another local patient

If the [Patient demographics] in [Modify] interface is not yet the corresponding
information of the current report, click [Change] → [Assign ID] in [Modify] interface
to re-select a patient, as shown below:
