Abstract
In a 40-bed, non-intensive care unit of a community hospital, a multidisciplinary team spearheaded a process improvement project to reduce telemetry overuse by using the IOWA Model for Evidence-Based Practice. This 4-week pilot study resulted in an increase in staff knowledge and financial savings for the organization.
