Why the study?
What is the utilization rate and cause of underutilization of remote monitoring in patients with newly implanted cardioverter-defibrillators?
What is the utilization rate and cause of underutilization of remote monitoring in patients with newly implanted cardioverter-defibrillators?
Remote monitoring for newly implanted ICDs is significantly underutilized, primarily due to local practice environment factors hindering enrollment.
Local barriers drive RPM underuse after ICD implant; leaves open whether site-level interventions can improve enrollment.
RPM technology is used in less than half of eligible patients. Lack of enrollment into RPM systems is the major cause of underutilization, and this primarily relates to the local practice environment.
