A Quality Improvement Initiative to Optimize Follow-Up in the New England Area for Pediatric Patients With Cardiovascular Implantable Electronic Devices.

Background: The use of cardiac implantable electronic devices (CIEDs) continues to grow. Despite the presence of implanted hardware, patient compliance with in-clinic visits and remote transmissions is poor. We performed a quality improvement (QI) initiative to assess and optimize CIED follow-up in the New England area.
