TeleCardiology: Comprehensive 24-Week Professional Development Program
This comprehensive six-month professional development program delivers expert training in telecardiology through a hybrid learning model. Designed for physicians, cardiology fellows, advanced practice providers, nurses, cardiac technologists, practice managers, and digital health entrepreneurs, this curriculum provides both the clinical foundations and operational expertise needed to successfully implement and manage telecardiology services.
Foundations and History of Telecardiology
The program begins with essential context to ground learners in the fundamental principles, evolution, and evidence base of telecardiology. This foundational knowledge creates a solid platform for the specialized clinical and operational content that follows.
Historical Context
Tracing the evolution from early tele-ECG applications to contemporary remote patient monitoring provides context for current capabilities and future directions.
Evidence-Based Landscape
A comprehensive review of key trials, meta-analyses, and guideline statements from the AHA, ACC, and ESC that support telecardiology.
Clinical Telecardiology: Disease Spectrum and Protocols
The clinical module provides a comprehensive, disease-specific approach to remote cardiac care, equipping practitioners with the knowledge to effectively evaluate, triage, and manage the full spectrum of cardiovascular conditions via telehealth.
Hypertension
Implementing home-based management using ABPM/HBPM with medication titration protocols.
Heart Failure
Comprehensive remote management including weight/symptom monitoring and diuretic protocols.
Arrhythmias
In-depth exploration of AFib tele-care (stroke risk, rate vs rhythm), syncope workups, and stable CAD.
Specialized Applications
The curriculum also covers specialized areas such as Pulmonary Hypertension, Cardio-oncology surveillance, and Cardio-obstetrics for hypertensive disorders and peripartum cardiomyopathy.
Diagnostic Technologies and Remote Devices
This module equips practitioners with comprehensive knowledge of remote diagnostic technologies—the foundation of effective telecardiology.
Tele-ECG Ecosystem
12-lead home capture, event/patch/mobile telemetry, and clinical integration of consumer wearables like Apple Watch and KardiaMobile.
Implantable Device Monitoring
Workflows for managing alerts from pacemakers, ICDs, and CRT devices, ensuring timely and efficient responses.
Telecardiology Services Portfolio
Graduates will be prepared to launch a variety of virtual clinics and services, including:
Virtual Chest Pain Assessment
Atrial Fibrillation Clinic
Heart Failure Home Program
Hypertension Center
Additional services include post-procedure tele-follow-ups, virtual cardiac rehabilitation, women’s heart health programs, cardio-oncology, pre-operative clearances, and second-opinion models.
Holistic and Integrative Approaches in Telecardiology
This module focuses on evidence-based lifestyle and integrative interventions that can be effectively delivered via telehealth to improve cardiovascular outcomes.
Nutrition & Activity
Guidance on Mediterranean/DASH diets, sodium/fluid strategies in HF, and adapted cardiac rehab principles for telehealth.
Psychological & Sleep Health
Mindfulness, CBT, yoga, OSA screening, home testing, CPAP adherence, and sleep hygiene coaching.
Substance Use & SDOH
Tobacco/vaping cessation, alcohol moderation, evidence-based supplementation, and structured SDOH screening.
Operations, Workflow, and Staffing in Telecardiology
This module covers the practical aspects of running a telecardiology service, from patient encounters to team management.
Tele-visit Choreography
Pre-visit prep, consent, remote vitals, structured ROS, and virtual exam techniques.
Staffing Models
Defining roles for physicians, APPs, nurses, device technicians, and health coaches.
Quality and Change Management
Developing KPIs, dashboards for continuous improvement, and strategies for telehealth adoption.
Compliance and Regulatory Framework for Telecardiology
A deep dive into the legal and regulatory landscape is essential for a sustainable practice. This module covers all critical compliance areas.
HIPAA & Health IT
Covers the Privacy, Security, and Breach Notification Rules, BAAs, risk analysis, and the HITECH/Cures Act provisions on information blocking and patient access APIs.
OIG, OSHA & Medical-Legal
The 7 elements of OIG compliance programs (Anti-Kickback, Stark), OSHA for remote work, informed consent, cross-state licensure (IMLC), and FDA frameworks for SaMD/AI.
Reimbursement, Coding, and Economics in Telecardiology
This module provides the financial acumen required to build a financially viable telecardiology service.
Coding & Billing
Mastery of telehealth E/M, RPM/RTM, CCM/PCM, and remote device check billing codes.
Financial Modeling
Unit economics, pro formas, cost structures, and ROI analysis for remote technologies.
Value-Based Care
Integrating telecardiology into value-based programs (MIPS, HEDIS, Star Ratings).
Advanced Technology, AI, and Data Analytics
This module explores the cutting edge of telecardiology, preparing practitioners for the future of virtual cardiac care.
AI in ECG Interpretation
Using AI for arrhythmia detection, structural inference, and prediction (e.g., low EF), with a focus on validation, bias, and governance.
Predictive Analytics
Models for HF decompensation, adherence estimation, and readmission risk, plus strategies to manage alert fatigue.
Special Populations and Settings
Telecardiology must be adapted for diverse needs. This module covers strategies for pediatric/adolescent care, rural/remote settings (hub-and-spoke models, low-bandwidth optimization), and ensuring cultural competence and language access for equitable care.
Assessment, Capstone, and Career Preparation
The program culminates in a capstone project where learners design and launch a telecardiology service line, including clinical protocols, compliance plans, and billing strategies. Career preparation includes interview coaching, business plan review, and access to an alumni network.
Commonly Managed Conditions in Telecardiology
The program provides detailed protocols for the remote management of Hypertension, Dyslipidemia, stable Ischemic Heart Disease, Heart Failure (HFpEF/HFrEF), Arrhythmias (especially AFib), Syncope, Valvular Disease, and Cardiomyopathies.
