Computer and Library Services

Fellows are able to access the hospital intranet and the World Wide Web from the more than 1,500 computer terminals that are part of our local area network, as well as by remote access via the Web. ChristianaCare patient data, including admission and discharge summaries, all lab data, X-ray, pathology, and operative reports, are available from Cerner’s PowerChart. LIFEBOOKs are given to each inpatient team for wireless access to patient information on PowerChart. In addition the charts of Adult Medicine Office patients are fully electronic via Centricity. Fellows can access both programs remotely or from any hospital terminal at either Christiana or Wilmington hospitals.

ChristianaCare’s Radiology Department uses a Picture Archiving Communications System Network (PACSNet) to store digital images of radiological procedures which gives fellows ready remote access as well as access from any hospital terminal.

Cardiac catheterization images, echocardiograms, and ECG’s are all digitized. The Cardiac Cath Lab is DICOM compatible.

Lumedix Apollo software provides registry data storage and management for all laboratory and patient care services within the Section of Cardiology. The system enables tracking for performance improvement and reporting which is critical to all quality health care measurements. In addition, fellows will track all of their procedures through the Apollo system.
