       How to reduce hospital admission of patient with cardiac conditi
       on?

       By introducing remote monitoring for cardiac implantable
       electrical devices.
       Remote monitoring means that patients do not need to attend an
       outpatient department for CIED surveillance. Instead, using a
       telemedicine-based system, devices are monitored from home and
       information can be downloaded for specialist teams to view at
       specific times. Alerts can be pre-set to ensure that the
       specialist team is notified of changes in the device or the
       patient’s condition much earlier than using the
       conventional system, when either symptom development would
       trigger consultation and review, or routine surveillance visits
       would assess the need for intervention. Therefore, remote
       monitoring is not only more efficient and convenient for
       patients, but it is also able to deliver better quality care and
       safer surveillance. The change to remote monitoring also
       promotes a more widespread cultural shift to care for patients
       not just the management of devices.
