About this study

Official title: A Prospective Evaluation of Surveillance Monitoring as an Alternative to Telemetry in Patients Scheduled for Telemetry Without American Heart Association (AHA) Indication

The purpose of the study is to evaluate the impact of surveillance monitoring versus telemetry monitoring on clinical, healthcare economics, resource utilization, and qualitative outcomes.

Read the detailed description

This will be single-center, prospective, pilot, pre/post implementation study to collect post-market data on hospitalized subjects monitored via telemetry and surveillance monitoring

Being tested
Vital Sync IM & VPMP (Surveillance Monitoring), Telemetry Monitoring

What participants receive

What participants receive. In a randomised study each person is assigned to one group by chance.

  • Vital Sync IM & VPMP (Surveillance Monitoring)Device

    The Vital Sync™ Informatics Manager (IM) \& Virtual Patient Monitoring Platform (VPMP) is an electronic medical record connectivity and remote continuous patient monitoring software solution.

  • Telemetry MonitoringDevice

    Continuous ECG monitoring for hospitalized patients at-risk for cardiac events.

Study groups in NCT03039738
Study groupRoleWhat they receive
Telemetry Monitoring ArmActive comparatorThe telemetry group will serve as the control group and will be monitored via the site's standard of care telemetry protocols.
Receives: Device: Telemetry Monitoring
Surveillance Monitoring ArmExperimentalSubjects in the surveillance monitoring group will alternatively be admitted to medical surgical unit and be monitored via the surveillance monitoring platform.
Receives: Device: Vital Sync IM & VPMP (Surveillance Monitoring)

What is being measured

The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.

  1. Hospital Length of Stay (LOS) as Assessed by Review of Medical Records

    LOS will be determined by comparing LOS Between the Surveillance Monitoring and Telemetry Monitoring Period Arms.

    Measured: Baseline to end of hospital stay (or up to 30 day post enrollment)

Secondary outcomes (7)
  1. Associated Health Care Costs (HCC) as Determined by Review of Billing Records

    Health Care Costs will be determined by comparing HCC between the surveillance monitoring and telemetry monitoring arms

    Measured: Baseline to end of hospital stay (or up to 30 days post enrollment)

  2. Number of Participants With Hospital Unit Transfers (HUT) as Determined by Review of Medical Records

    Hospital Unit Transfers (HUT) will be determined by comparing the number of hospital unit transfers between monitoring arms.

    Measured: Baseline to end of hospital stay (or up to 30 days post enrollment)

  3. Length of Stay (LOS) in the ICU as Determined by Review of Medical Records

    Length of Stay in the ICU will be determined by comparing numbers between monitoring arms.

    Measured: Baseline to end of hospital stay (or up to 30 days post enrollment)

  4. Number of Participants With Clinical Interventions (CI) as Determined by Review of Medical Records

    CI include Rapid Response Team calls and Code Blue Activations. The Number of Clinical Interventions will be determined by comparing numbers between monitoring arms.

    Measured: Baseline to end of hospital stay (or up to 30 days post enrollment)

  5. Time of Rapid Response Team Activation to Time of a Threshold Notification as Measured by the Surveillance Monitoring System Only

    Time of Rapid Response Team (RRT) will be determined by comparing the number of RRT interventions between monitoring arms (only for surveillance monitoring arm)

    Measured: Baseline to end of hospital stay (or up to 30 days post enrollment)

  6. Clinical Team and Patient Satisfaction as Measured by Qualitative Questionnaires

    Clinical Team and Patient Satisfaction will be determined by comparing the Qualitative Questionnaire response between monitoring arms.

    Measured: Baseline to end of hospital stay (or up to 30 days post enrollment)

  7. Clinicians Familiarity With AHA Guidelines and Telemetry Utilization as Measured by Qualitative Questionnaires

    Number of clinicians "very familiar" and "somewhat familiar" with AHA guidelines was reported. The questionnaire was administered to all clinicians (e.g. ED physicians, nurses, critical care nurses, intensivists, and hospitalists) involved in the care of study participants at each hospital; it was not administered to study subjects.

    Measured: Baseline to end of hospital stay (or up to 30 days post enrollment)

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing Vital Sync IM & VPMP (Surveillance Monitoring) and Telemetry Monitoring in people with Telemetry and Patient Monitoring, run by Medtronic - MITG at 1 site in United States.

The full registered description is in the About this study section and the official record.

Who may be eligible to take part?

The sponsor lists 8 inclusion and 9 exclusion criteria. Eligibility is decided by the study team after screening, so read the full criteria and contact a listed site.

Is this clinical trial currently recruiting?

The record says: stopped early, as of the sponsor's last update on 13 May 2019. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 1 site in United States. Whether a site is taking part right now should be confirmed with that site. See every site.

What are the possible benefits and risks?

They depend on the study and the treatment, and no study can promise a benefit. The study team explains the known risks during informed consent, before anyone joins; the record itself does not list them.

Are results available for this study?

Yes. Results are posted in the registry (first posted 29 Apr 2019). A summary is in the For doctors view, and the full results are on ClinicalTrials.gov.

How can a doctor refer a patient or contact the research team?

The record lists no contact. The official record names the sponsor, who can be asked directly. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

Hospital Length of Stay (LOS) as Assessed by Review of Medical Records (time frame: Baseline to end of hospital stay (or up to 30 day post enrollment)). It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.

Where can I read the original study information?
Does a listing mean the treatment is approved or proven to work?

No. A listing means the study is registered. It does not show that the treatment is safe, works, or is approved by a regulator.

How often is this information updated?

AzTrials copies changed records from ClinicalTrials.gov every night and reloads the whole registry every week. The sponsor last updated this record on 13 May 2019.
