Abstract:
Remote monitoring is beneficial for the management of patients with cardiovascular implantable electronic devices by impacting morbidity and mortality. With increasing numbers of patients using remote monitoring, keeping up with higher volume of remote monitoring transmissions creates challenges for device clinic staff. This international multidisciplinary document is intended to guide cardiac electrophysiologists, allied professionals, and hospital administrators in managing remote monitoring clinics. This includes guidance for remote monitoring clinic staffing, appropriate clinic workflows, patient education, and alert management. This expert consensus statement also addresses other topics such as communication of transmission results, use of third-party resources, manufacturer responsibilities, and programming concerns. The goal is to provide evidence-based recommendations impacting all aspects of remote monitoring services. Gaps in current knowledge and guidance for future research directions are also identified.
摘要:
通过影响发病率和死亡率,远程监测有利于心血管可植入电子设备患者的管理。随着越来越多的患者使用远程监控,跟上更高的远程监控传输量为设备诊所工作人员带来了挑战。这份国际多学科文件旨在指导心脏电生理学家,盟军专业人士,和医院管理人员管理远程监控诊所。这包括远程监控诊所人员配备的指导,适当的诊所工作流程,患者教育,和警报管理。该专家共识声明还涉及其他主题,例如传输结果的交流,使用第三方资源,制造商的责任,和编程问题。目标是提供影响远程监控服务各个方面的基于证据的建议。还确定了当前知识的差距和对未来研究方向的指导。
