Abstract

Diagnosis of congenital heart disease in young patients represents a complex assessment of instrumental parameters and requires often a surgical procedure to correct structures morphologies and related functions. An information system for the management of echocardiographic examinations in patients with suspected or ascertained congenital heart disease, was developed in our departments of Pediatric Cardiology and Cardiac Surgery. This system uses a new model for workflow and clinical dataset collection. For each diagnostic related group, according to EACTS Congenital Database and European Pediatric Cardiology nomenclatures, was defined a set of relevant echocardiographic data to be collected (Pathology Related Dataset, PRD), in order to comply with a comprehensive diagnostic assessment of the patient
