Visage Ease vs EVD educational toolkit

Using Visage Ease you can view radiologic images that are stored on a Visage 7 server on your iPad, iPhone, and iPod Touch. Please note that this app requires access to a Visage 7 server, e.g. in your clinic, practice, or via your radiology provider. Without access to a server, you will not be able to view any images. Visage Ease provides you with immediate server-based access to DICOM images without cumbersome image transfer. Use the app for patient education and for illustrating findings in the diagnostic report. Radiology providers use the Visage 7 server in conjunction with Visage Ease to provide their referring physicians with efficient access to key images as well as original images. Compared to printed film or patient CDs, the Visage 7 solution provides a much richer and much more efficient means of communication. Visage 7 is the world’s first diagnostic imaging solution based entirely on efficient thin client streaming technology. Visage scales easily from a single radiology practice to large distributed healthcare enterprises. Visage allows efficient viewing, processing, and archiving of very large amounts of images, including thin slice volumetric data from CT, MR, PET-CT, and other 3D modalities. The Visage Ease App is not a medical device and must not be used for diagnosis. A "Getting Started" document is available here: http://www.visageimaging.com/e-labeling

EVD educational toolkit is a clinician-facing reference on external ventricular drains (EVDs) and intracranial pressure (ICP) monitoring, designed for neuro-ICU and neuroanesthesia teams, nurses, and trainees. WHAT'S INSIDE • What is an EVD? Definition, common indications, and epidemiology • EVD Setup: leveling at the external auditory meatus, transducer safety, and drainage settings used in practice • ICP Waveforms: normal and abnormal P1/P2/P3 morphology with real bedside tracings • CT Imaging: expected catheter position and imaging examples • Transport & MRI Safety: a pre-transport checklist and MRI safety steps • Best Practices: do's and don'ts and CSF color interpretation • Clinical Pearls: concise, referenced teaching points • Types of EVD and EVD Systems: a photo library of devices and drainage systems • QI Metrics and EHR Alerts: suggested quality metrics, reportable events, and an example institutional EHR workflow • Educational videos, downloadable resources, and materials from the SNACC EVD Safety Campaign REFERENCED CONTENT Clinical content in the app is linked to published sources, including the SNACC perioperative guidelines for external ventricular and lumbar drains and the Neurocritical Care Society EVD consensus statement, with direct links to PubMed. Where content reflects one institution's practice rather than published evidence, the app says so. EDUCATIONAL USE ONLY This app is an educational resource. It is not a medical device, does not diagnose or recommend treatment for individual patients, and does not replace clinical judgment, institutional protocols, or manufacturer instructions. The app has no accounts and does not collect patient information. RESEARCH STUDY This app is part of a research study evaluating clinical implementation of the EVD Toolkit. The University of Washington Human Subjects Division reviewed the study and determined it exempt from further IRB review (STUDY00026573, approved 9/16/2026). Participation in the optional feedback survey is voluntary. Developed at the University of Washington.
