Telemetry Monitoring in PA — Trailer
Channel: Pennsylvania Patient Safety Authority
Date: 2020-10-26

Clinicians rely on telemetry monitoring every day to care for their patients and make sure they have everything they need, but this technology can be a double-edged sword: With more ways to keep track of every aspect of patients’ health, also come more alarms and alerts—and the danger of becoming desensitized to them.

We interviewed national experts on telemetry monitoring and hospital staff, including leaders, nurses, physicians, and monitor technicians, about how they overcame patient safety challenges related to telemetry. Our four-part video series, Telemetry Monitoring in Pennsylvania, highlights the need to review and improve processes, and presents best practices and lessons learned, which may help guide you in your own work.
