of Moscow. Below we will focus on the principles of
building of DIMOL-IK complexes, which are intended
for diagnostics and management of cardiovascular
diseases and provide keeping of electronic case history
and electronic outpatient's cards in hospitals and
outpatient departments. It will be demonstrated how
the activities of several cardiological clinics including
those geographically remote from each other were
successfully combined into a common informational
space on the basis of DIMOL-IK complexes using
information and telecommunication technologies.
DIMOL-IK complex, which is suggested in this
paper, provides complex automation and computation
of medical technologies in the cardiological
and cardiosurgical clinics, provides keeping of full
electronic case history in hospitals, and outpatient's
card in outpatient departments, permits exchanging
digital data with different domestic and foreign
specialists. A patient is given a disk, which can be
read on any computer, containing case records and
results of main examinations.
Structure and principles of functioning of complex
DIMOL-IK STATSIONAR
Complex DIMOL-IK STATSIONAR provides complex
automation of all diagnostic and treatment processes
including:
• registration of patients;
• creation and keeping of electronic case histories;
• availability of uniform regulatory system and automated
system of classification and coding of
medical information;
• Obtaining and processing of diagnostic data
(angiography, X-ray, CT scan, EchoCG, ECG,
ECG-Holter etc.)
• generation of output documents;
• performing of statistical analysis;
• input, transfer, storing, processing and displaying
video information (angioscenes, X-ray, tomographic
images etc.)
Structure of complex and principles of its functioning
are demonstrated at diagrams presented on
Fig. 1 and Fig. 2.
The complex consists of workstations (PC) installed
in different rooms of the clinic and integrated through
network means into an unified system of hardware
and software resources. The server provides work of
the complex database and processing of requests
for provision of information to network abonents.
Hierarchical archive system is used for storing and
operative issue of data, dynamic and static images,
obtained during performing of diagnostic procedures
and surgical interventions. Functional workstations
are intended for automation of functioning of physicians
of corresponding specialties. These PCs permit
work with full case history, angiographic movies, X-ray
and tomographic images. Possibility of analysis and
processing of dynamic images, generating of reports
according to the results of angiographic and other
examinations and procedures is provided.
PC “Director” is installed at the workplace of
director or head physician of a clinic. PC “Director”
possesses the same features as any other functional
PC and has access to the administrative subsystems
of the complex. The most important feature of PC lies
in providing to the director of a clinic the possibility
to follow the course of angiographic procedure “online”
not leaving his/her office and to interact with
operating crew of in the mode of video conference.
