In order to better support the Louisiana Children's Medical Center (LCMC) facilities that we are partnered with, we have built a new credential in App allowing for a more efficient user experience and for facilities to better understand your skill set on reading telemetry strips.
What is the EKG Assessment?
The EKG Assessment is a quick method for you to show the facility your skills in reading telemetry strips. This will be completed during onboarding and before claiming an orientation shift. The app will automatically grade and create a record of the EKG Assessment. You will be able to save and exit so that you can complete the evaluation at your own pace!
