Changes to the NVR IT system 2020

We are planning two releases to the NVR IT system in spring 2020:

  • A procedure note for angioplasties that can be generated once key data items had been completed on the NVR. It will then be able to be copied from the NVR into a radiology information system and/or electronic patient notes.
  • Changes to the aortic dataset in order to collect the information about which devices have been implanted in the patient (e.g. stent or stent graft). The dataset will also undergo some amendments in order to improve the capture of re-interventions.

More information will provided in newsletters closer to the release dates of these.
