On Demand: Right Data, Right Place, Right Time: Standardizing Connected Cardiology Workflows Across the Health System-Webinar Recording

Video Transcription

Video Summary

The webinar focused on standardizing long-term ambulatory EKG monitoring workflows across a health system to ensure the “right data, right place, right time.” Moderator Nicole Dulles introduced Dr. Sharma and Marie Yabout, who shared practical lessons from implementing new cardiac technologies and improving care pathways.<br /><br />Dr. Sharma emphasized that successful technology should provide definitive, clinically useful data, integrate smoothly with existing EHR and IT systems, and support cost-effective care. He highlighted key barriers such as fragmented care, contract limitations, and poor interoperability. He stressed the importance of accountability, stakeholder alignment, and continuous process improvement through review, retooling, and refinement.<br /><br />Marie described her role in evaluating devices, training staff, and helping build workflows that minimize complexity. She explained how her team evolved from paper and fax-based processes to smart phrases and then full EHR-to-vendor integration. She also noted the importance of involving physicians, order build teams, IT, billing/coding, and frontline staff early.<br /><br />Both speakers stressed patient education, staff engagement, and ongoing feedback. They concluded that successful implementation depends on clear goals, the right people, and a willingness to adapt over time.
