- ECG Preliminary Results No Longer Sent
When an ECG is performed, a system-generated interpretation of the ECG is transmitted to Connect Care as a preliminary report. While this report can help frontline healthcare workers determine if a patient needs immediate attention, the results need to be confirmed by a cardiologist because the report is not necessarily 100% accurate.
Previously, this preliminary report was sent out to the ordering prescriber prior to the results being confirmed. As of July 11, 2023, ECG preliminary results will no longer be sent to the ordering prescriber. The final results report will continue to be sent to the ordering prescriber once confirmed.
