This has led to additional purchasing of telemetry licenses and equipment. In addition, with telemetry orders having expiration dates in CPRS, it has resulted in the order falling off the patient’s chart and at times making it unclear to nursing if the patient should be removed from telemetry, as there may still be clinical indication for further monitoring with no clear discontinuation order. As a result, patients often remain on telemetry for lengthy times with no active orders in CPRS and potential inappropriate use. In the acute care setting, does having standardized guidelines for implementation and removal of cardiac telemetry help to improve utilization and cost of care? 000009121 540__ $$fCC BY 000009121 542__ $$fIn copyright - single owner 000009121 650__ $$aHospitals$$020336 000009121 650__ $$aTelemetry$$026809 000009121 650__ $$aHeart Failure$$019939 000009121 650__ $$aQuality Improvement$$039456 000009121 650__ $$aInpatients$$020846 000009121 6531_ $$aacute care 000009121 7001_ $$aDeRienzo, Chelsea$$uPortland VA Medical Center$$041358 000009121 8564_ $$9de9485fb-0be0-46c3-8c4c-bc5357e4f249$$s663847$$uhttps://digitalcollections.ohsu.edu/record/9121/files/2021-EBP-DeRienzo-Refining_Telemetry-Executive_Summary.pdf 000009121 8564_ $$9573edc36-6a59-4aab-baec-1ad23ab77d19$$s5252881$$uhttps://digitalcollections.ohsu.edu/record/9121/files/2021-EBP-DeRienzo-Refining_Telemetry-Presentation_.pdf 000009121 905__ $$a/rest/prod/ms/35/t9/37/ms35t937v 000009121 980__ $$aEvidence-Based Practice Nursing Fellowship collection
