Saxe Communications & Philips Healthcare* present a program in the Better Outcomes webinar series…“Inpatient Telemetry Monitoring: Best Practices”

Despite updated telemetry standards published in 2017 by the American Heart Association, there are still many aspects of telemetry that have not been addressed nor studied to truly determine what improves outcomes. In 2020, the Veterans Health Administration, representing the largest health care organization in the world, released a comprehensive guidebook for telemetry.  This webinar will review the key content in this guidebook focusing on implementation of evidence-based best practices.

Learning Objectives  |  At the completion of this activity, the participant will be able to:

1. Identify best practices for inpatient telemetry monitoring including indications, standards for alarms and alarm management, and monitoring for arrhythmias.
2. Describe key component of staff education and competencies
3. Review essential elements to reduce risks associated with telemetry monitoring.
