Re-typing implant and exchange data
Device, cannulation, and OR times flow in directly from the EMR.
Registry Intelligence
ORCA — VAD
ORCA for VAD pulls implant events, hemocompatibility complications, and outcomes live from the EMR — so coordinators stop abstracting and program leaders see outcomes in real time.
Who it's for
Built for the people who run VAD programs.
ORCA was designed alongside VAD coordinators, STS INTERMACS data managers, and MCS program directors — not abstracted from generic registry software.
VAD coordinators
Stop pulling implant times, hemocompatibility events, and meds out of the chart by hand.
STS INTERMACS data managers
Submit complete, validated STS INTERMACS forms in one click — not after weeks of cleanup.
MCS medical & program directors
See adverse events, readmissions, and survival live across your active patient cohort.
What ORCA eliminates
The manual work draining your VAD coordinators.
Every VAD program loses hours each week to data work that shouldn't be manual. ORCA replaces it.
Tracking hemocompatibility events in spreadsheets
Bleeding, stroke, pump thrombosis, and infection events are auto-structured on a patient timeline.
Manual STS INTERMACS form preparation
Forms are pre-populated and validated against registry definitions before you submit.
Quarterly QI report assembly
Adverse event rates, readmissions, and survival are dashboards — not deliverables.
How it integrates
Lives inside your EMR's data — not on top of it.
ORCA connects to Epic, Cerner, and other FHIR-enabled EMRs to pull device events, labs, vitals, and adverse events live. Your IT team loves it because we do most of the work.
Live FHIR integration
Reads directly from Epic, Cerner, and other FHIR-enabled EMRs.
100% web-based
No on-prem hardware, no client install, nothing on the device cart.
We do the heavy lifting
Kirklin Solutions handles the majority of integration work with your IT team.
The payoff

VAD programs using ORCA reclaim coordinator time, see outcomes faster, and submit cleaner STS INTERMACS data.
