Every investigation tracked until the result is on the record
Cardiology
Cardiology clinic software
Cardiology runs on investigations: the echo, the stress test, the monitor. The clinic’s administrative job is making sure every one of them comes back, is read, and reaches the follow-up appointment it was ordered for.
Nothing is complete until the result is read
An ordered investigation without a reported result is the most dangerous open item in the clinic. Orders carry a state until they are closed.
- Every order carries a state until a result closes it
- Echo, stress and monitor reports attached to the visit that ordered them
- Outstanding investigations listed rather than remembered
- Results routed to the ordering cardiologist the day they arrive
- An abnormal result that cannot sit unread in a shared inbox
Reports attach to the visit that ordered them
An echo report in an email inbox is not in the patient record, and the doctor at the follow-up will not have it.
- Pre-authorisation raised with the order, not after the scan
- Approval reference and expiry held against the investigation
- What the insurer covers and what the patient pays, on one invoice
- Rejections traced back to the order that caused them
- Investigation revenue and denial rate visible per insurer
Approvals before the investigation
Most of these are expensive and most need pre-authorisation. Doing that after is how the clinic absorbs the cost.
- Follow-up booked when the investigation is ordered
- The result in the record before the patient sits down
- Device and monitor returns tracked rather than diarised
- Referral out carrying the reports, not a summary of them
- Reporting on turnaround from order to read
An order placed versus an order closed
The dangerous item in a cardiology clinic is an investigation nobody chased. That is a state problem, and a calendar cannot hold state.
The way it is done now
- Orders written in the note
- Reports in an email inbox
- Outstanding work recalled
- Approval after the scan
- Follow-up booked later

Questions
Cardiology — frequently asked
Can we attach echo and monitor reports to the record?
Yes, against the visit that ordered them, so the follow-up consultation opens with them already there.
Does it flag investigations that have not come back?
Yes, as a daily list of overdue orders rather than something noticed when the patient returns.
