Table 3. Audit parameters for ECG acquisition, interpretation, and documentation in emergency departments.
The key parameters used to assess the efficiency and documentation quality of ECG processes in the ED are outlined. It includes time intervals for different stages of ECG handling, the rationale for ECG performance, and the quality of documentation
