Harrogate & District NHS TRUST share their Clinical Experiences using CardioSTAT and AoS

TESTIMONIES OF A CLINICAL LEAD AND AN ASSOCIATE PRACTITIONER CARDIOLOGY

Listen to Emma from Harrogate talking about the Ambulatory ECG workload of Physiologist team.

• There is a need to retain ECG analysis in-house, to avoid deskilling, by implementing AoS (Analysis On-Site).

• Icentia deliver full training program to support departments looking to utilise AoS.

• Icentia use unique ECG analysis software to ensure the correct identification of arrhythmias and clinically actionable ECG is reported to clinicians in a timely manner.

Emma also shares how the flexible analysis solutions that Icentia provide when the Ambulatory service is in high demand allows them to outsource ECG analysis to the Icentia Physiologist UK team to prevent temporary backlogs, allowing them to maintain a speedy turnaround for patient reports and potential cardiac diagnosis.

Here is Kelly, one of the Physiologist team, involved in analysing the Ambulatory ECGs from patients. She highlights the following points

• The new ECG Patch technology used in Harrogate and the variety of ECG monitoring durations to suit the indication prescribed by their Cardiologists.

• The 'whole person care' reassurance and flexibility that CardioSTAT monitors bring to patients.

• The support and service that Icentia provide. Never running out of CardioSTAT monitors is important to deliver continuity of care for patients.

• The whole patient experience captured electronically to help ​reducing the amount of paper used.
