Video Summary

In this video, Ileah Reichert, an acute care nurse practitioner at Riverside Methodist Hospital in Columbus, Ohio, discusses the importance of data collection in a high-volume interventional cardiology structural heart program. She explains that accurate and up-to-date data is vital for improving patient outcomes and meeting reporting requirements. Reichert describes the challenges her program faced with manual paper-based tracking and the need for a more efficient system. She introduces REDCap, a healthcare data capture program, that they implemented to track patient information and monitor quality indicators. She emphasizes the positive impact of data review and analysis on reducing complications and improving patient care. Reichert also highlights how REDCap has enhanced patient throughput and organization in their program, making the process more streamlined and reducing costs. Although manual entry is time-consuming, she stresses the importance of utilizing available resources until an integrated electronic medical record system can be implemented. Reichert concludes by offering her contact information for further inquiries.
