Up to 43% of telemetry use in non-ICU units may lack a clear clinical indication. Yet many health systems still lack an enterprise view of how monitoring is being used, whether orders and device activity align, how long telemetry continues, and where capacity is available.
Drawing on research and health system perspectives, this report examines how telemetry became fragmented — and how data, governance and flexible monitoring pathways can turn it into a more coordinated enterprise capability.
Learn how health systems can:
- Use enterprise data to uncover order and monitoring gaps, utilization patterns, alarm trends and equipment availability
- Build governance and consistent practices for reassessment, transport, escalation and discontinuation
- Match monitoring modality, intensity, location and oversight to patient need while preparing for future AI-enabled workflows
