==Summary==
 
 
 
This Supplement adds a new profile to the IHE Patient Care Device Technical Framework
 
describing a means to transfer information from an interrogated implantable cardiac device to
 
information management systems. This profile is named Implantable Device – Cardiac –
 
Observation or IDCO for short.
 
 
 
==Benefits==
 
 
 
*Standards based translation and transfer of summary device interrogation information
 
 
 
*Improved workflow efficiencies in Cardiology and Electrophysiology practices from management of “key” summary implantable rhythm control device interrogation information in a central system such as an electronic health record system (EHR) or a device clinic management system.
 
 
 
==Details==
 
Cardiac physicians follow patients with implantable cardiac devices from multiple vendors.
 
These devices are categorized as pacemakers, implantable cardioverter defibrillators, cardiac
 
resynchronization therapy devices, and cardiac monitor devices.
 
 
 
As part of patient follow-up an
 
interrogation of a cardiac device is performed (either in-clinic or from a remote location).
 
Information is collected about the device such as device identification, therapy settings, device
 
diagnostics, and device testing. These interrogations are performed by vendor proprietary
 
equipment.
 
 
 
To improve workflow efficiencies Cardiology and Electrophysiology practices require the
 
management of “key” summary implantable rhythm control device interrogation information in a
 
central system such as an electronic health record system (EHR) or a device clinic management
 
system.
 
To address this requirement, the Implantable Device – Cardiac – Observation (IDCO) Profile
 
defines a standards based translation and transfer of summary device interrogation information
 
from the interrogation system to the information management system.
 
 
 
With the increased use of EHR systems, the networking of in-clinic and remote follow-up
 
systems for implanted cardiac devices, and the continued growth of the implantable cardiac
 
device market, the importance of this profile to clinicians has become more acute. Strong device
 
and EHR vendor participation in the IDCO profile development is an acknowledgement of this
 
importance. As the IDCO Profile and associated standards continue to evolve there is little doubt
 
that the use of this profile will be a critical component of comprehensive cardiac care.
 
 
 
==Systems Affected==
 
 
 
 
 
* ''EHR systems may store, manage, and/or display IDCO reports.''
