The El Paso VA Health Care System requires a GI PillCam system, which is a non-invasive alternative to full endoscopy. The system must be capable of full interface with the VA architecture for the electronic medical record imaging section. The system includes a miniature camera embedded in a capsule that can be swallowed, and images are saved and retrieved by data communication to an external sensor unit. The system must have a workstation in the clinic for uploading data and subsequent viewing by the GI specialist. The workstation must allow the specialist to select and embed chosen images into a formatted final report PDF that can be uploaded into the VA EMR. The system must be patient-friendly and capable of saving and maintaining raw data images for a duration of five years.
