How does an offsite Cardiologist communicate that the quality of an ECG tracing is insufficient for interpretation and that the patient should be contacted for re-testing? And how does your organization document the identity of the testing site where the test was acquired and the identity of the Technician who performed the testing?<\/p>\n

We find that many diagnostic testing organizations simply rely on the Cardiologists to make a phone call to the testing site. This process is unreliable and a poor way of monitoring ECG test quality, particularly in an organization that manages large volumes of tests because:<\/p>\n

    \n
  1. The person who receives the call from the Cardiologist must accurately record the message from the Cardiologist and to act quickly to arrange for retesting. However, in a busy clinic or hospital environment, the message may be inaccurately recorded, may be misplaced or may be forgotten.<\/li>\n
  2. The technical insufficiency has not been recorded in a centralized diary, along with other instances of technical insufficiency, in order to enable review, analysis and identification of personnel that require supplementary training.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

    Most ECG management software does not offer functionality for managing ECG tracing quality. However, TeleMED offers a Feedback Tool, with a standardized, automated ECG workflow that includes the following features:<\/p>\n

      \n
    1. one click access by Cardiologist to a pop-up Quality Feedback Box for entry of real-time commentary on the quality of a tracing;<\/li>\n
    2. point-and-click activation of a message, directing that the patient be recalled for re-testing;<\/li>\n
    3. option for automated notification to the patient’s family physician of reason for patient recall; and<\/li>\n
    4. automated logging of instance of quality insufficiency, in a centralized database, for retrieval and analysis at a later date.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
