Howtoimplement SCP-ECG
Electrocardiography is one of the most frequently applied non-invasive tests for early detection of heart disease, which is a leading cause of morbidity and mortality in western countries. It is estimated that more than 100 million ECGs are recorded annually in Western Europe. In view of the high costs of health care it is of eminent importance that the results of this straightforward cardiac test can be easily communicated between the various health care providers and that they can be stored in electronic patient health records to support continuity of care. It is not anymore acceptable that, in the age of information technology, millions of Euros are wasted for unnecessarily repeated tests or that patients do not obtain appropriate care because relevant clinical information is not available at the point of care.
