摘要

Cardiac rhythm management (CRM) manufacturers of pacemakers, implantable defibrillators, offer remote monitoring of their high end products. In the West, the responsibility for monitoring devices is given to a device nurse at the cardiac center. The nurse performs daily checks of any reported issue by the manufacturer and act upon any alert reported by the device. With the patient group numbering hundreds of patients, a device nurse can be supported by reimbursement for remote monitoring. The situation is different in Vietnam. The number of implant patients at a typical implant center is barely in the low hundreds. Patients are typically not actively followed and irregularly come back for follow-ups. Currently there is no reimbursement program for automated follow-ups. In developing the first Remote Monitoring program for Vietnam, we had to factor in these differences and have developed an alternative approach. A biomedical engineer at the distributor assumes the duty of the device nurse and works with the patients' cardiologists. The engineer will review the daily reports and study alerts reported by the devices or the automatic analysis programs of the manufacturer. When appropriate, the cardiologist will be alerted. The cardiologist will contact the patient to come in for a follow-up. The engineer will not deal directly with the patient, except on technical matters, such as malfunctioning remote monitor. This has enabled us to create a new model for the care of CRM patients in Vietnam. With daily report by the device, the patient does not need to visit the cardiologist, except for a yearly visit, unless contacted. Since the Home Monitoring reports had been analyzed prior to the visit, recommendations about therapy or device parameter changes will be discussed with the cardiologist before the patient arrives.
