Case Study

How New Mexico Heart Institute improves cardiac monitoring access by 5x.*

CASE STUDY: NMHI / ARDENT HEALTH

The New Mexico Heart Institute/Ardent Health found that using Holter monitors limited its capacity, which reduced patient access and created a backlog. Standardizing on Zio® monitors resulted in faster time to diagnosis and treatment without increasing monitoring department staff.

Outcomes included:


Reduced patient backlog:

Eliminated a 6-week appointment wait time.

Productivity of clinical staff increased:

Less time spent applying monitors, patient volume grew from 50 patients per month to over 800 patients per quarter.

Increase in procedures:

Performed an estimated 20% more procedures over a 2-year period.
