Physiology network and workstation for use therewith
First Claim
1. A physiology network configured to operate with a medical network, comprising:
- a physiology workstation receiving, processing and displaying physiology signals obtained from a subject during a physiology procedure carried out on the subject, the physiology workstation having a network interface configured to be joined to the network;
a database storing patient records associated with the subject under going the physiology procedure; and
a server, joined to the network and the database, for managing and controlling access to the database, the server providing, to the physiology workstation, a patient record associated with the subject, the physiology workstation co-displaying the physiology signals and information from the patient record to an operator of the physiology workstation.

Abstract
A physiology network is provided that is configured to operate with a medical network. The physiology network includes a physiology workstation that receives, processes and display'"'"'s physiology signals obtained from a subject during a physiology procedure carried out on the subject. The physiology workstation has a network interface configured to be joined to the medical network. A database is provided that stores patient records associated with the subject undergoing the physiology procedure. The server is joined to the network and the database for managing and controlling access to the database. The server provides, to the physiology workstation, a patient record associated with the subject. The physiology workstation co-displays the physiology signals and information from the patient record to an operator of the physiology workstation. The co-displayed physiology signals and patient information may permit the operator to compare past and present ECG signals, arrhythmias, and the like, as well as review the patient'"'"'s interventional medical history, physician/lab reports and the like.

15. A physiology workstation compatible with a internet protocol (IP) based network joined to a database storing pre-recorded patient records associated with the subject under going a physiology procedure, the network being joined to a server that manages and controls access to the database, the workstation comprising:
-
a physiology processing module receiving and processing physiology signals obtained from a subject during a physiology procedure carried out on the subject;
a network interface having an IP address and configured to communicate over the network;
a user interface configured to permit an operator to enter patient identification information, the processing module transmitting a request over the network to the server for a patient record associated with the subject of the physiology procedure; and
at least one display co-displaying the physiology signals and information from the patient record to an operator of the physiology workstation. - View Dependent Claims (16)

19. The physiology workstation of claim 17, wherein the patient record provided to the physiology workstation includes an interventional medical history of the patient representing at least one of a radiology report, cardiology report, and implanted device report, the implanted device reporting identifying implanted device parameters and settings.
-
20. The physiology workstation of claim 17, wherein the patient record provided to the physiology workstation includes at least one of prior physician/lab reports representing at least one of a physician office report, a lab-work report, and medication subscribed to the subject.
-
21. The physiology workstation of claim 17, wherein the patient record provided to the physiology workstation includes pre-recorded stored ECG traces recorded prior to the physiology procedure, the workstation co-displaying the pre-recorded stored ECG traces and real-time ECG traces, the real-time ECG traces being obtained from the physiology signals obtained from the subject during the physiology procedure.
-
22. The physiology workstation of claim 17, wherein the patient record provided to the physiology workstation includes a pre-recorded prior physiology study and case log, the physiology workstation co-displaying on at least one monitor the pre-recorded prior physiology study and a real-time physiology study obtained from the subject during the physiology procedure.
-
23. The physiology workstation of claim 17, wherein the patient record provided to the physiology workstation includes pre-recorded stored arrhythmia information, the physiology workstation co-displaying on at least one monitor the pre-recorded stored arrhythmia information and real-time arrhythmia information obtained from the subject during the physiology procedure.
-
24. The physiology workstation of claim 17, wherein the physiology workstation generates a physiology study during the physiology procedure and exports the physiology study to a remote application that builds a graphic report from the physiology study.
-
25. The physiology workstation of claim 17, wherein the patient record includes pre-recorded diagnostic images, the physiology workstation co-displaying the pre-recorded diagnostic images and real-time diagnostic images obtained from the subject during the physiology procedure, the diagnostic images containing one of, ultrasound, CT, x-ray, MR, PET and SPECT information.
-
26. A method for managing and distributing patient and physiology information over a network joined to a database, the method comprising:
-
obtaining, during a physiology procedure, physiology signals from the subject;
processing the physiology signals at a physiology workstation in real-time during the physiology study;
requesting from the database a pre-recorded patient record associated with the subject, the pre-recorded patient record being generated and stored prior to the physiology procedure;
accessing the database to obtain the pre-recorded patient record associated with the subject;
providing, to the physiology workstation, the patient record associated with the subject; and
displaying the physiology signals in real-time and information from the patient record to an operator of the physiology workstation during the physiology procedure. - View Dependent Claims (27, 28, 29, 30, 31, 32, 33)
