  • Abstract
    Working in a cardiology department is intense and due to immediate life threatening situations each moment counts. Thus, supporting through ITC the activity with results in better management of patients is critical. The paper presents a software solution that supports the cardiology department in a hospital, including the work of the cardiologist and the nurses and providing a better mobility through the work process. The access to patient data is made quicker, the succession of tasks for the nurses is clear and saves time, alarms are sent on the spot and reaction can be taken immediately. All these improvements in the activity of a cardiology department are focused to raise the quality of the medical act with obvious benefits for the patient.
