When it comes to cardiovascular health care, every second counts That’s why near-real-time monitors such as our advanced portableecgmachineforhomeuse are gaining an important place as a powerful asset in the modern clinical workflow. Our device merges your facility’s long- and short-term monitoring needs, providing a two-in-one solution that’s designed to help physicians stay on top of their patients’ conditions. Technology such as our own is affording a live data ecosystem that care providers can trust to make life-saving decisions right in the nick of time. But how else is near-real-time heart monitoring changing cardiovascular care for the better? Today, we explorethisandmore.Takealook
Previously, physicians leveraged conventional cardiac monitoringsolutionsthatwereless than ideal. Cardiologists didn’t have 24/7 access to patient data until the latter sent it to
the doctor by mail orinperson.Duringthatperiod,patientswereessentiallydisconnected fromthecareprocess
Then diagnostic processes wouldbegin,furtheraddingdelaythatcouldrunintodaysand even weeks But that is detrimental particularly for arrhythmia, as patient risk increases the longer the diagnosis takes. So, what happens if arrhythmia is left untreated? Well, there’stheelevatedprobabilityof:
● Dementia
● Cardiacarrest
● Stroke
● Heartfailure
However, with near-real-time monitoring, these risks are greatly reduced. With our advanced and remotepatientmonitoringdevices,forinstance,cardiologistscanensure cardiaccarethathoversovertheirpatients
For example, once a patient gets our bio-sensor on, they can record their symptoms by pushing a button.Thisrecordingistime-stamped,withthisdataavailabletophysiciansin a timely fashion. Now, doctors can reduce their diagnosis turnaround time due to this readydata,furtherstreamliningcardiaccarethroughpromptaction
2) Patient satisfaction and engagement improve with the right near-real time monitoringsolutions
Several factors influence patient satisfaction for healthcare facilities thatprovidecardiac monitoring, including follow-up and feedback. When feedback loops are complex or time-consuming, chances are patientcontentmentlevelswiththeirproviderwilldrop The sameholdstruewhenfollow-upisnotcarriedoutpromptlyandeffectively
Near-real-time monitoring is the solution to solve these two headaches And with your practice's financial performance on the line, it’s now more important than ever to ensure patientsatisfaction.
With near-real time cardiac monitoring solutions, patient education, first of all, becomes easy to execute, making care recipients feel more valuable What’s more, hospitals can meet their clients' expectations with modern technology while it becomes a breeze to implement feedback loops that easily keep patients at the heart of the entire care process.

While cardiac monitoring that automates iterativetasksisthesolution,notallofthemare ideal Some can be particularly difficult to incorporate, with technology adding to the complexity of the workflow. But modern, near real-time cardiac monitoring solutions such as those we provide here at Cardiac Rhythm are helping to ease this transition throughEMRintegrationoptionswhileofferingcardiologistsbettercontrolofthe: ● Diagnosis ● Feedback ● Biosensor ● Patientoutcomes
Ultimately, a lot of time is created with the efficiency of this new workflow, with these healthcare professionalsabletochanneltheseresourcesintospendingtimewithpatients rather than their data. This is further compounded by Cardiac Rhythm’s personalized workflowtrackingtools
4) Cardiologists can pick outsilentheartattackswithcontinuous,near-real-time monitoring
How many heart attacks are asymptomatic? The ClevelandClinicestimatesthat5to8in 10 people experience silent cardiac arrest The problem withtheseisthattheyareeasyto miss, especially when the monitoring process is discontinuous and delayed And when that happens, a silent heart attack can build uptosomethingevenworse,andeventually beapredicamentforheartfailure.
Near-real-time, continuous monitoring is the answer once more. With ourbio-sensorsfor example, the patient’s heart electrical activity can be recorded 24/7 even for monitoring durations ofupto7days Thismakesupmorethanenoughtimeforphysicianstouncover asymptomatic episodes related to cardiac arrests and even silent arrythmias at large. There’s the early discovery of asymptomatic cases and thus the prompt implementation ofatreatmentplan
5) Near-real-timemonitoringcollectsricherdatapoints
Let’s consider cases where monitoring is done within the hospital, devoid of always-on monitoring systems with monitoring durations only confined to in-person patientvisits.In such cases, the data sets that cardiologists obtain can deviate from thetruevalueinthe sensethat:
● Patientanxietycanplayapartintheresults
● Factorsofeverydaylifearenottakenintoaccount
● Thereisalimitedwindowofdatatoworkwithinthefirstplace
However, that all changes when physicians have near real-time access to these important vitals Cardiologists can monitor patients from within their familiar home setting, and even possibly identify triggers and causes within this environment that may be aggravating their condition. What’s more, with patients in more comfortable surroundings, the emotional highs of a single moment don’t taint the results In the end,
doctors get a more accurate account of the true vitals of the subject as they go about theirday-to-day
Last but not least, near-real-time monitoring also enables a more proactiveapproachto problem resolution Cardiologists can pick out issues with treatment in advance before it getstothepointofemergencycare,thusloweringhospitalizationandrehospitalization
