cardiac monitoring in Med Surg

Message #146 of 184 |

We are exploring remote monitoring medical patients in our Medical
Surgical units. These nurses have no cardiac or even basic ecg
experience/education. I'm trying to find out how other hospitals
perform remote monitoring and how to educate/support my nurses when
basic ecg is not a requirement of their position. What happens in your
hospital? What protocols or resources do you have in place, and more
importantly what works well?
Thank you!
