Implantable Loop Recorder (ILR) Pathway and Workflow: Inpatient and Ambulatory Care

This resource outlines UW Health’s standardized inpatient and ambulatory workflows for implantable loop recorder (ILR) procedures. It details the processes for referrals, scheduling, patient preparation, device implantation, documentation, billing, and follow-up monitoring. The pathways highlight the role of advanced practice providers (APPs) in performing ILR procedures, along with coordinated responsibilities across electrophysiology, nursing, scheduling, and device clinic teams. Included are examples of electronic medical record (EMR) ordering and pre-procedure documentation tools. This resource offers a practical model for improving workflow efficiency, supporting team-based care, and standardizing ILR procedures across care settings.
