12 lead ECG
Immediate ECG interpretation from your own practice
Simple integration with Emis Web, SystmOne, Vision and Docman
Immediate ECG interpretation
Practices who have their own 12 lead ECG machines transmit ECGs to the Broomwell Healthwatch Centre by email / fax.
Those who use the Broomwell (palm-size, lightweight) 12 lead ECG devices can transmit recordings over the telephone, or digitally via a paired smart-phone
Surgeries receive an immediate verbal interpretation followed, within minutes, by a full written expert clinical analysis and interpretation / report.
The Broomwell (palm-sized) 12 lead ECG device is a ‘high spec’ solid state hand held unit, which is extremely portable and easy to use. It requires no maintenance, no calibration and no tracing paper [a significant financial saving]
The 12 lead ECG is transmitted either acoustically or digitally to the Broomwell Healthwatch centre, where it is displayed on screen for our expert clinicians to interpret. The quality of the ECG trace received by Broomwell Healthwatch is extremely high.
The verbal report is IMMEDIATE and a full written report is transmitted, to the practice, by email or fax (depending on the preference of the practice) within a few minutes. Broomwell’s reports are easily integrated into any surgery electronic filing system (Emis / Vision /Docman / SystmOne / etc)
Digital ECG transmission
Our latest ‘hi-spec’ 12 lead ECG device enables both digital and acoustic transmission, of ECGs, to our cardiac centre.
It is one of the world’s smallest ECG machines. It is very small and very portable yet very powerful with a high resolution (16 bit) ECG recording technology [It requires no maintenance, no calibration and no tracing paper - a significant financial saving].
In the digital mode, the ECG is transmitted automatically via Bluetooth to a mobile device, tablet or PC and from there, seamlessly, to our cardiac centre for immediate diagnosis.
Broomwell’s reports can be easily filed in any surgery electronic filing system (Emis/Vision (Docman)/SystmOne/etc).
Extensive usage and excellent feedback
The centre interprets some 5,000 ECGs per week and returned CCG and surgery Questionnaires indicate excellent feedback from surgeries and patients [100% satisfaction rate].
The centre serves some 2,000 GP practices, medical centres, walk-in centres, out-of-hours providers, HM prisons, and MIUs throughout the country, providing all of them with access to immediate expert clinical ECG interpretation.
Clinical governance (Consultant led)
The standards of ‘clinical governance’ are extremely high.
Staff at the Broomwell Healthwatch centre who perform the ECG interpretations are all UK practising cardiac clinicians and cardiology registrars with extensive cardiology clinical experience in coronary care units. They are selected for their outstanding clinical ECG interpretation skills.
The consultant cardiologists’ board set extremely high standards of ‘clinical governance’ with; entrance examinations, regular refresher courses, rigorous annual examinations, peer reviews, cardiologists’ reviews, audits etc (details available on application).
The centre does not rely on AI or 'computer interpretation' as these have too many errors
Resilience
Broomwell Healthwatch services a significant number of CCGs, surgeries, Walk-In centres, MIUs and other medical facilities.
Broomwell operates a robust IT infrastructure, with multiple redundancy built into every system such as replication (and triplication) of computer servers, telephone system and power sources.
