Optimising remote monitoring for cardiac implantable electronic devices: a UK Delphi consensus.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Remote monitoring (RM) is recommended for the ongoing management of patients with cardiac implantable electronic devices (CIEDs). Despite its benefits, RM adoption has increased the workload for cardiac rhythm management teams. This study used a modified Delphi method to develop a consensus on optimal RM management for adult patients with a CIED in the UK.

Methods

A national steering committee comprising cardiac physiologists, cardiologists, specialist nurses, support professionals and a patient representative developed 114 statements on best RM practices, covering capacity, support, service delivery, coordination and clinical escalation. An online questionnaire was used to gather input from UK specialists, with consensus defined as ≥75% agreement.
