Hey everyone,
As part of our performance improvement project we are attempting to increase compliance of printing and interpreting EKG rhythm strips for each patient with an active cardiac monitoring order. We are currently (very) non compliant. We have been working on this for almost 2 years and have had many barriers.
What does your Department do? Do you have a unit specific "policy"? How frequently do you print and interpret rhythm strips?
Is is this acceptable for TJC?
Any input is great!
Thank you!
