Efficiency
Through Technology
Demographic data entry can be a challenge with
traditional hospital oriented
electrocardiographs. Too often valuable staff
time is wasted in deciphering the demographic
field assignments for each piece of information.
This added variable in data entry can
unnecessarily compromise data consistency. Any
Mortara Instrument electrocardiograph can
download protocol specific custom ID fields from
an E-Scribe/NT data management system.
When a custom ID
is downloaded to a Mortara Instrument
electrocardiograph, the user is prompted through
protocol specific demographic entry using the LCD
screen, eliminating any confusion as to which
information should be entered in each demographic
field. In the past, for example, sites were
required to enter Protocol ID information in a
hospital oriented field such as medication. The
custom ID feature from Mortara Instrument allows
Protocol ID to be entered in the field labeled
Protocol ID The result is an ECG record that has
a header that makes sense for clinical trials.
This technology
provides a level of consistency in demographic
data entry not seen previously in clinical
trials. This combination of digital ECG data and
the immediate availability of clearly defined
demographic information that travels with the ECG
record provides a significant administrative cost
savings while increasing data quality.
