Considerations for Success
Organizations will reap many benefits when they reduce telemetry use. Revising the process for ordering telemetry and assessing clinical necessity, creating buy-in from key stakeholders, forming a task force to decrease telemetry use, and framing the AHA standards as evidence-based guidelines rather than protocol can ease tensions and resistance from providers. The focus should always be on providing high-quality healthcare while integrating appropriate resource allocation and informed decision-making.
