The purpose of this study was to determine if rates of telemetry events differ between patients whose monitoring is appropriately “indicated” versus “not indicated” by systematically applying rigorous criteria for appropriateness of electrocardiogram (ECG) telemetry usage. We performed a retrospectiKeywords
