A standardized, evidence-based framework for managing CIED remote monitoring alerts in outpatient device clinics. Includes a color-coded triage algorithm (RED/YELLOW/GREEN), complete SOP, staff training materials, and interactive metrics dashboard that…
Read MoreThis 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…
Read MoreThis 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…
Read MoreThere 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…
Read MoreMissed 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,…
Read MoreThis patient-facing educational handout explains what a cardiac device interrogation involves in clear, nontechnical language. Patients frequently experience anxiety, confusion, or uncertainty when informed that their pacemaker or defibrillator will…
Read MoreThis presentation was developed for the cardiology nurses and medical assistants in our cardiology office to better understand how our deparment runs and the daily tasks of each role. Engagement…
Read MoreThis resource was developed to improve access to workflows and policies across all locations by providing the Device Clinic with a centralized, easy-to-navigate internal webpage.
Read MoreThis 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…
Read MoreThis patient-facing educational handout outlines standard care, remote monitoring workflows, and follow-up expectations for patients with an implantable loop recorder (ILR). It covers post-implant follow-up, home monitoring setup, symptom activation,…
