Virtual Inpatient Telemetry Solutions
Equum's Virtual Inpatient Telemetry service offers a modern approach to patient care, by allowing hospitals to connect telemetry data to tele-health resources for improved patient flow and care.
Addressing Critical Care Gaps with Virtual Inpatient Telemetry
Hospitals are under increasing pressure to manage inpatient telemetry amid nursing shortages and a growing patient population. Continuous and accurate monitoring of patient vitals is essential, yet often resource-intensive, potentially leading to staff burnout and reduced care quality. Left unresolved, these issues can jeopardize patient safety and inflate healthcare costs due to system inefficiencies.
Equum is the Solution

Frequently Asked Questions
What is Virtual Telemetry and how does it work?
Virtual Telemetry provides continuous remote monitoring of cardiac rhythms by certified telemetry technicians and nurses. Our monitoring center receives real-time cardiac data from your patients and provides immediate alerts for arrhythmias, ST changes, and other cardiac events, ensuring 24/7 expert cardiac surveillance without requiring on-site telemetry staff.
How does remote telemetry monitoring improve patient safety?
Remote telemetry monitoring provides continuous expert surveillance with immediate alerts for life-threatening arrhythmias. Our certified technicians can detect subtle rhythm changes and provide rapid notification to bedside staff, enabling faster intervention and potentially preventing cardiac emergencies.
What types of cardiac events can Virtual Telemetry detect?
Virtual Telemetry can detect all types of arrhythmias including atrial fibrillation, ventricular tachycardia, bradycardia, heart blocks, ST segment changes, and other cardiac abnormalities. Our technicians are trained to recognize both common and complex rhythm disturbances.
How quickly are cardiac alerts communicated to bedside staff?
Critical cardiac alerts are communicated immediately, typically within 30 seconds of detection. Our monitoring center uses multiple communication methods to ensure rapid notification of bedside staff when immediate intervention is required.
What are the staffing benefits of Virtual Telemetry?
Virtual Telemetry eliminates the need for on-site telemetry technicians while providing superior monitoring capabilities. This reduces staffing costs, eliminates recruitment challenges for specialized telemetry positions, and ensures consistent 24/7 coverage without gaps due to call-offs or vacations.
How does Virtual Telemetry integrate with existing cardiac monitoring systems?
We work with most major cardiac monitoring systems and can integrate with your existing telemetry infrastructure. Our platform receives digital cardiac data securely and provides remote interpretation capabilities without requiring significant technology changes.
How can we implement Virtual Telemetry at our hospital?
Contact Equum Medical to assess your current telemetry operations and patient volume. We'll evaluate your existing cardiac monitoring systems and develop a Virtual Telemetry solution that provides expert cardiac surveillance while potentially reducing costs and improving coverage consistency.
