Cable Disorganization
Our lab has an abundance of cables that often becomes tangled and inevitably damaged. Last week, damaged cable resulted in an intraprocedure delay of over 1 hour. Our Biomedical Engineers have authorized our department to contact a third-party vendor for consultation. Has anyone had similar issues, and if so, how did you correct the problem? Does anyone know of a vendor that services this type of problem?

I suggest a trip to the HRS and see what vendors have to offer in terms of IT integration. There are a number of affordable solutions on the market now.

Scope of Practice
I am looking for a detailed "Scope of Practice" for the EP/cath lab. I do have the scope of practice offered on the SICP website.

I am also looking for a detailed "scope of practice" for an RN in the EP lab. Is an RN qualified to do EP Med Stimulation? Are we covered with our license?
