TL;DR
Current use of ECGtelemetry may not be optimal, and a prospective analysis of the application of rigorous indications for ECG telemetry needs to be undertaken.
Abstract
The application of standard criteria to electrocardiogram telemetry admissions found that the majority of abnormal heart rhythms were found when patients met appropriate criteria.

The reliability of reviewer ratings of medical error and the implications of a death described as "preventable by better care" in terms of the probability of immediate and short-term survival if care had been optimal are examined.

Comorbidity scores, particularly the CDS or D'Hoore's CI based on three-digit ICD-9 codes, may be useful in exploratory data analysis, however, residual confounding by comorbidities is inevitable, given how these scores are derived.

The recent Institute of Medicine report on the quality of care, entitled “To Err Is Human,” has awakened much of the health care system to the challenge of reducing the number of adverse events in hospitals.

Patients readmitted to medical ICUs have significantly higher hospital lengths of stay and mortality, and ICU readmissions may be more common among patients who respond poorly to treatment as measured by increased severity of illness at first ICU discharge and failure of prior therapy at another hospital or on a general medicine unit.

It is concluded that additional investigation is necessary to determine the clinical implications of the findings and to establish better standards for low- and high-frequency cutoffs, flat response within pass band, and phase shift for ambulatory ECG monitoring equipment.

Readmission to an ICU carries a risk of high mortality rate and increased length of stay and may represent premature discharge in at least 30% of patients and Intermediate care areas for patients with poor pulmonary function may help to avoid readmission to a ICU, prevent death, and conserve hospital resources.

It is found that PS-specific complication rates increased with increasing PS scores for most complications sought, and those in higher PS categories were less likely to have a recovery room complication than PS1 patients.
