- Follow all safety and procedural guidelines to ensure high-quality, accurate results.
Patient Preparation and Communication:

- Assist patients in positioning for the test, typically either lying down or sitting.
- Monitor patients during testing for any signs of distress or discomfort, and adjust the process if necessary.
- Provide basic instructions for the patient, such as remaining still and quiet during the test to avoid interference with the results.
Equipment Maintenance and Operation:
- Operate and maintain EKG machines and other related equipment to ensure functionality.
- Troubleshoot equipment malfunctions or issues, and report problems to supervisors or medical technicians for resolution.
- Clean and sterilize equipment as required to maintain safety and prevent cross-contamination.
- Keep accurate records of equipment maintenance and testing to comply with health and safety standards.
Data Documentation and Reporting:
- Document all relevant patient information, including medical history and any special instructions for the procedure.
- Record EKG results in the patient's medical records and ensure accurate data entry into the hospital or clinic's electronic health record (EHR) system.
- Flag and report any abnormal or unusual results to the physician or supervising healthcare professional for further evaluation.
- Ensure confidentiality and proper handling of sensitive patient information in accordance with HIPAA regulations.
Collaboration with Healthcare Team:
- Work closely with physicians, cardiologists, and other medical professionals to ensure the accuracy of tests and assist in diagnosis.
- Communicate any changes in patient condition or test results promptly to the medical team.
- Provide feedback on patient status and assist in other diagnostic procedures as needed.
Quality Control and Compliance:
- Follow all applicable healthcare regulations and best practices, including those set by HIPAA and OSHA.
- Ensure proper documentation and follow protocols to comply with industry standards and patient safety requirements.
- Participate in ongoing education and training to stay current with advancements in EKG technology and cardiac care.
Patient Follow-up:
- Provide follow-up instructions to patients, such as advising them to contact their physician for test results or if they experience symptoms after the test.
- Ensure patients know when and how to follow up if necessary, particularly if the results suggest further testing is required.
