1. Comprehensive ACHD Documentation and Tracking

  • GEMMS ONE offers customizable documentation templates specific to congenital heart disease, ensuring that critical data such as surgical history, diagnostic test results, and ongoing management plans are accurately recorded. These templates are essential for tracking the lifelong care needs of patients with conditions like atrial septal defect (ASD), ventricular septal defect (VSD), Tetralogy of Fallot, and other congenital abnormalities​​.
  • Given the long-term nature of ACHD care, GEMMS ONE allows healthcare providers to track patients' health over the course of years or even decades. This ensures that cardiologists can monitor how congenital defects evolve and how past interventions, such as surgeries or catheterizations, continue to impact the patient’s health

2. Integration with Diagnostic Tools for ACHD

  • GEMMS ONE integrates with echocardiography systems, providing real-time access to heart images critical for diagnosing and monitoring congenital heart defects. These images help assess the function of repaired heart structures, detect new complications, and evaluate the effectiveness of ongoing treatment
  • The platform integrates with cardiac MRI and CT imaging systems, which are often used for detailed imaging in complex ACHD cases. These modalities are particularly important for visualizing anomalies in heart structures, assessing pulmonary artery development, or tracking complications such as right ventricular outflow tract obstruction​​.
  • GEMMS ONE supports stress testing to assess heart function during physical exertion, which is important for ACHD patients who may develop exercise intolerance or arrhythmias as they age​​.

3. Congenital Heart Disease Surgery and Interventions

  • GEMMS ONE allows cardiologists to document detailed surgical histories, including past surgeries, interventional procedures, and catheterizations. For ACHD patients who have undergone multiple corrective surgeries, this documentation is critical for future treatment planning​​.
  • The platform enables long-term tracking of outcomes following surgical repairs or interventional catheterizations, such as valve replacements, stent placements, or fontan procedures. This ensures that complications such as stenosis, leakage, or arrhythmias are promptly addressed​​. 

4. Multidisciplinary Collaboration and Care Coordination

  • ACHD patients often require input from multiple specialists, including adult cardiologists, pediatric cardiologists, cardiothoracic surgeons, and geneticists. GEMMS ONE facilitates collaboration across specialties, allowing all providers to access and contribute to a shared patient record, ensuring comprehensive and coordinated care​​.
  • GEMMS ONE enables the creation of shared care plans for ACHD patients, ensuring that all healthcare providers, including specialists in cardiology, surgery, and rehabilitation, are aligned on the patient’s management strategy. This improves the overall quality of care and reduces the likelihood of care gaps​​.

5. Risk Assessment and Clinical Decision Support

  • GEMMS ONE includes tools for assessing the risk of complications in ACHD patients. These may include risk calculators for heart failure, arrhythmias, and pulmonary hypertension, which are common issues in this patient population​. 
  • The platform offers clinical decision support that provides evidence-based recommendations based on the specific congenital condition and patient history. This is essential for guiding treatment decisions such as the timing of surgeries, adjustments to medications, or monitoring for emerging complications​​.

6. Long-Term Monitoring and Follow-Up

  • GEMMS ONE supports long-term monitoring of heart function in ACHD patients, including regular follow-up visits, imaging studies, and lab tests. This is critical for detecting late complications, such as ventricular dysfunction, pulmonary hypertension, or the need for valve replacements​​. 
  • The system can send automated reminders for follow-up appointments and necessary testing, ensuring that ACHD patients receive timely care and monitoring. This reduces the risk of complications being missed due to gaps in care​​.

7. Patient and Family Engagement

  • GEMMS ONE includes a Patient Portal that allows ACHD patients to access their health records, including test results, imaging reports, and care plans. This transparency empowers patients to take an active role in managing their long-term condition​​. 
  • Given the complexity of ACHD and the need for lifelong care, GEMMS ONE supports family-centered care by allowing family members or caregivers to access relevant patient information through the portal. This ensures that caregivers are informed and involved in the patient’s care decisions​​. 
  • GEMMS ONE enables cardiologists to share educational resources with patients and their families, helping them understand their condition, the importance of long-term monitoring, and potential signs of complications​​.

8. Telehealth and Remote Monitoring

  • GEMMS ONE supports telehealth consultations, allowing ACHD patients to meet with their cardiologists and specialists remotely. This feature is particularly useful for follow-up care, where patients may not need to visit the clinic in person, reducing the burden on patients with complex medical histories​​. 
  • The platform integrates with remote monitoring devices that track vital signs such as heart rate, blood pressure, and oxygen saturation. This is useful for ACHD patients with heart failure or other complications requiring continuous monitoring​​. 

9. Compliance and Quality Reporting

  • GEMMS ONE helps ensure that all ACHD-related procedures and care plans are documented according to regulatory requirements and clinical guidelines. This is critical for meeting insurance and billing standards, as well as maintaining high-quality care​​. 
  • The system provides detailed reporting tools that track patient outcomes, complications, and long-term success rates for interventions in ACHD patients. These reports support internal quality improvement initiatives and can be used for research purposes​​.
