Summary
ECG Flash is a Queensland Cardiac Clinical Network initiative that provides rural and remote clinicians 24/7 access to urgent specialist cardiology advice.
When a patient presents at emergency and an ECG (Electrocardiogram) is taken, the system lets clinicians send time critical, difficult-to-interpret ECGs straight to an on-call cardiologist to prompt rapid consultation.
