Abstract: A system allows for the prioritization of ECGs. This can be performed by the ECG management system and/or at the instruction of the cardiologist or other reader. In a current implementation, the system will allow for the sorting of the ECGs so that the more complex interpretations are presented first, when the cardiologist or other reader is not suffering from fatigue, saving the simpler readings for later in the session as fatigue might begins to become a factor.

Abstract: An ECG management system provides a computer-assisted Quality Assurance step in an ECG management system. This step is preferably performed prior to releasing ECGs to the cardiologists for interpretation placement in the patient's permanent records. It involve comparing the ECG wave data to previously collected ECG data for the same and/or different named patients to enable error correction and/or proper patient naming.

Abstract: A method and system for generating electrocardiogram reports allows for the editing of features in the electrocardiogram interpretation process. This improves the accuracy of machine interpretation of the ECG data thereby facilitating the analysis and generation of the final report by the physician. The present method and system are most useful in host-based ECG interpretation systems where the physician accesses the ECG data at a workstation including a machine interpretation that is generated typically at the ECG cart. The physician is then provided with the ability to modify the features in the ECG data and generate a new host-based interpretation based on the original ECG data and the features specified by the physician.
