Abstract

The ECG interpretation competency of our nurses was brought into question upon changing from static to dynamic evaluation methods during annual testing. Ongoing education and resources were provided and monthly audits were conducted to provide real-time feedback. Subsequent ECG testing and audit results revealed significant improvement.
