Capitalizing on current technology to improve the electrocardiogram data management process.

Abstract

Concord Hospital was able to use an existing electrocardiogram (ECG) data management system to greatly improve efficiency regarding the managing, interpreting, viewing, and reporting of ECGs. By taking advantage of the full capabilities of the current ECG data management system, Tracemaster, we were able to design a workflow process to allow any physician to view and interpret electronically any current or previous ECGs from any computer.
