Learn the Advantages of Wireless

Changing Health Care Environment

An ever-evolving health care environment has put pressure on device follow-up clinics to change and adapt. This environment may impact the efficiency and productivity of your clinic in several important ways:

Clinic Capacity—Clinics face an increasing volume of cardiac device patients, forcing you to make the most of your valuable time and resources.

Quality of Care—Interruptions in clinic workflow, including unscheduled and missed appointments, impact the quality of care you can provide.

Patient Demands—Patients expect to be better informed and more involved in their care.

Advantages of Wireless on Medtronic CareLink® Network

The Medtronic CareLink Network takes remote monitoring to the next level with Conexus™ Wireless Telemetry for Medtronic's newest devices. With this feature, clinics:

  • Are better able to accommodate changing needs and schedules of both patients and of clinicians.
  • May set up a scheduling routine that fits into current practice methods. Scheduling becomes automated, saving time for the clinic.
  • May use automatic prescheduled check to improve patient care and convenience while reducing compliance issues.
  • Have access to CareAlerts, triggered by device or physiologic events, provide early event notification to help you better manage patient outcomes.
