ORCA — registry intelligence for ECMO
ORCA pulls live data from your EMR, runs quality checks as the case unfolds, and turns ELSO submission into a single click. Built with ECMO coordinators, for ECMO programs.
Live EMR extraction
ORCA reads cannulation times, pump parameters, ABGs, and adverse events directly from your FHIR-enabled EMR — no re-typing.
Real-time QA/QI
Incomplete and out-of-range values are flagged while the run is happening, not during the quarterly scramble.
1-click ELSO export
Generate a clean, complete ELSO submission in a single click — no manual prep, no reformatting.
Time back for coordinators
Programs report dramatic reductions in manual abstraction time, freeing coordinators for patient care.
