Automating vitals documentation is proven to improve accuracy in the EHR, save thousands in staffing hours, and improve reimbursements. However the documentation of waveforms such as ECG strips is equally burdensome and costly. In fact, after performing an assessment of the time spent manually printing, measuring, and scanning ECG strips into the EMR, MIC found that an average 150-bed hospital could spend more than $400,000 a year for over 12,000 hours of manual labor time.

In addition to these unnecessary costs, the potential for lost revenue exists if those ECG strips do not make it into the EMR for reimbursement. In fact, one 150-bed hospital was losing more than $700,000 a month on ECG strips alone when processes changed and ECG documentation was dropped. Since CMS now mandates the proof of time during which patients are on a ventilator, documentation needs for other monitoring services may also be demanded.
