Job Summary:

The Monitor Technician performs under the direct supervision of the PCC and is a vital role in supporting quality patient care. This role involves participation in the implementation phase of the nursing process, with a primary focus on rhythm strip interpretation and recognizing changes in rhythms. Additionally, this role performs cardiac monitoring by continuously observing the central cardiac monitor screen, located in the Monitor Room, for proper waveform on each telemetry patient, preventing loss of signal and ensuring accurate capture of potential cardiac events. The Monitor Technician is responsible for documenting and reporting rhythms following the chain of command, reporting equipment problems, maintaining supplies and workstation as necessary.

Tele Log Maintenance: Maintain an accurate and up-to-date telemetry log throughout the day, documenting patient status changes and updates as necessary.

Emergency Operations: In the event of emergency operations or events, report to work as required and be prepared to support the healthcare team as needed to ensure patient safety and care continuity.
