Coordinate continuous cardiac monitoring and communication functions for the centralized telemetry control unit, serving as the primary interface for identifying cardiac rhythms and life-threatening conditions. Assign and distribute telemetry equipment to staff, admit and discharge patients, and maintain equipment readiness in coordination with Bio Medical Engineering. Utilize computer monitoring to track electrocardiograms, interpret and document rhythms per internal standards, and activate emergent response protocols when necessary. Communicate rhythm status and anomalies to nursing and supervisory staff using telephone, computer, and pager systems while maintaining patient documentation and performing quality assurance activities.
