A few years ago several frustrated cardiologists discussed the many challenges they and their patients faced in their industry. Without a specialized heart database, cardiologists often find themselves spending a lot of time scanning paperwork and digging through graphs and health records to try to evaluate a patient’s condition. If a patient had been treated at a different hospital or medical center, important pieces of their history — prescriptions they had taken, even the outcomes of surgeries — were sometimes inaccessible altogether. 

This meant doctors had no easy way to record and compare heart data, the kind of information that in the most serious cases can help determine whether a critical prescription or procedure could save someone’s life. Those same cardiologists ultimately did what doctors do best — they figured out an effective treatment plan to alleviate those issues.

 A team of cardiovascular specialists developed EHR software and diagnostic tools to efficiently manage vital patient information for cardiology practices, ultimately founding Objective Medical Systems. This niche technology has been able to streamline the work of cardiologists and reduce human error, as well as save time and money for both the doctors and the patients. OMS was founded on the belief that discrete data and background analysis will revolutionize the practice of medicine, improve patient care, increase physician efficiency and reduce errors. The OMS software solution was developed and inspired by leading cardiologists in each sub-specialty of cardiology. OMS caters to the busy cardiology practice or hospital service line looking for a cardiovascular information system providing structured reporting across all diagnostic modalities. In addition, OMS offers a Stage 2 certified electronic health record built from the ground up for cardiology specialists. By maintaining a narrow focus on cardiology, OMS is able to offer an elaborate, powerful, and user-intuitive solution.
