Healthcare administrators are often scrambling for answers when providers ask about enrollment timelines, report statuses, or updates on patient communication. The frustration is familiar: spreadsheets, disconnected systems, and long wait times to retrieve even basic information. In a clinical environment that demands speed and clarity,…
Mobile cardiac telemetry (MCT) has set the standard for monitoring heart rhythms in an outpatient setting, but its next evolution is underway, and it’s smarter, faster, and more integrated than ever before. The future of mobile cardiac telemetry lies in its ability to do more…
Patient compliance is one of the most important factors in the success of cardiac monitoring. If a device is uncomfortable or irritating, patients may remove it early or fail to wear it consistently, compromising the quality of the data collected. Poor compliance = limited data….
Cardiac monitoring doesn’t have to come at the cost of patient comfort. Yet many extended wear monitors on the market today use adhesive patches that can’t be removed or relocated during the entire study period, which can lead to skin irritation, rashes, or worse. For…
Remote cardiac monitoring is only as reliable as the connection it depends on. For patients who are mobile, travel frequently, or live in areas with inconsistent internet access, traditional monitoring systems can fall short. That’s where dual-mode connectivity, combining cellular and Wi-Fi, can make a…
Choosing between a Holter monitor and a mobile cardiac outpatient telemetry (MCOT) device often depends on the patient’s condition, symptom frequency, and clinical context. While Holter monitors have been reliable tools for decades, especially for capturing frequent or daily symptoms over a short time frame,…
Arrhythmias can be challenging to diagnose, especially when symptoms are vague, infrequent, or intermittent. Identifying these hidden cardiac issues can be like chasing a moving target for primary care providers. Modern mobile cardiac telemetry (MCT) tools/solutions are powerful for detecting arrhythmias early and accurately, even…
Recovery after a cardiac procedure doesn’t always require a prolonged hospital stay. With mobile cardiac telemetry (MCT) devices, patients can heal at home while still being closely monitored for post-procedural complications. MCT allows for continuous, near-real-time heart rhythm monitoring, which is convenient for all parties…
Electronic medical record (EMR) integration is critical to modern cardiac monitoring. EMR-integrated solutions make patient management more efficient and effective by eliminating manual processes and streamlining workflows. First-Call Medical’s EMR integration is designed to simplify patient enrollment, streamline test ordering, and accelerate report retrieval, all…
Emergency room visits and hospital readmissions put a strain on both patients and healthcare systems. For at-risk cardiac patients, these visits can be preventable if the right heart monitoring tools are in place. A reference-level remote heart monitor can provide a proactive solution by offering…
