N1 - Results: The pre-intervention group (n=118) had 14 downgrades compared to the post- intervention group (n=111), which had 20 downgrades. Pre-intervention data was influenced by a similar study in another telemetry unit with the same physicians. There was a 59.62% increase in savings and a 900 hour projected reduction in nursing time annually through nurse-physician collaboration.
