Remote monitoring. Expanding a successful system.

A successful telemetry placement system moves into five medical/surgical areas and two step-down units. The updated equipment included an alarm gateway with an arrhythmia detection system. Telemetry signals are transmitted to a pager worn by nurses; remote display monitors allow nurses to eyeball arrhythmias and reset their alarm without going to a central station.

Remote telemetry: new twists for old technology.

Availability of telemetry beds was increased cost-effectively by providing telemetry on medical/surgical units with remote monitoring at designated critical care areas. Guidelines were developed for patient selection, education, clinical policy and procedure. A two-hour inservice was completed by all medical/surgical nurses and after a pilot study the system was implemented on three medical/surgical units.
