A quality improvement initiative improved telemetry ordering practices at admission, increasing appropriate use. Further interventions are needed to optimize 48-hour telemetry orders and sustain improvements.
Area of Science:
- Clinical Quality Improvement
- Healthcare Management
- Patient Safety
Background:
- Overuse of continuous electrocardiographic monitoring (telemetry) without clear indications contributes to alarm fatigue, increased healthcare costs, and decreased patient satisfaction.
- Inappropriate telemetry use has not been demonstrated to improve patient outcomes, highlighting a need for optimized clinical practices.
