While the American Heart Association (AHA) and the American College of Cardiology (ACC) adopted a Standard of Care in 2005 requiring ECG interpretations, many, if not most, groups fail to meet this standard. More importantly, patient care suffers most, as EKGs can sit without interpretations for days and even weeks on end. When no qualified interpretation is done in a timely manner, many catastrophic things can occur.

For cardiologists and electrocardiologists, as well as physicians, the 12-lead ECG is the leading, non-invasive cardiac diagnostic test. Such a powerful tool is useless, however, if key indicators are missed, misdiagnosed, or go unread in a timely manner.

This dilemma is compounded as hospital groups add outlying units, cardiology practices grow beyond one city, and studies in pharma extend into hundreds and thousands of cohorts. The ability to quickly and accurately provide EKG interpretations in disparate places in a timely manner has, until now, been a real problem.

This is why The WaveWatch Group was founded, to help you provide better patient care, faster, more reliably.
