Care Pathways / Clinical Decision Support
Using a hand-held Doppler monitor, pregnant subjects record 10-15 seconds of their baby’s heart beat and send an audio text of the heart beat to their physician.
This SOP provides a concise, guideline-based framework for sudden cardiac death risk stratification and ICD indications across multiple cardiomyopathies, including ischemic and non-ischemic dilated cardiomyopathy, ARVC, HOCM, myotonic dystrophy, and…
This protocol uses 3-month CPX as the individual baseline and mandates a two-step device optimization bundle (rate response + upper rate review) for Yellow results, with escalation and CPX-based reassessment…
There is a need to establish a standardized process for identifying, contacting, and re-engaging cardiac device patients who have become inactive in remote monitoring or clinic follow-up, in order to…
Missed remote monitoring alerts and unclear escalation pathways represent common, preventable system failures in cardiac device programs, particularly in community and hybrid care settings. These gaps can delay clinical response,…
This policy outlines the management of patients with cardiovascular implantable electronic devices (CIEDs) undergoing radiotherapy treatment. It includes risk stratification flowcharts and example forms for documenting provider correspondence and CIED…
This algorithm guides how to optimize alert transmission evaluation in remote monitoring.
This resource outlines standardized physician notification and escalation criteria for device clinic alerts across pacemakers, ICDs, CRT devices, and implantable loop recorders. It defines arrhythmia, heart failure, and device-related alert…
This algorithm is intended to provide a standardized framework for in-clinic and remote follow-up of permanent pacemakers. It supports systematic assessment of patient symptoms, device function, programming optimization, safety surveillance,…
This document outlines a standardized protocol for safely performing MRI scans in patients with cardiac implantable electronic devices (CIEDs), including both MRI-conditional and legacy systems. It details eligibility criteria, device-specific…
