Royal Devon University Healthcare Foundation Trust has transformed syncope care by fully integrating Zio cardiac monitoring into its Epic electronic patient record. This digital-first pathway enables patients to be discharged sooner, monitored continuously at home, and diagnosed within days rather than months. The approach reduces unnecessary admissions and invasive procedures, improves diagnostic accuracy, and generates significant cost and efficiency gains. Patients benefit from faster answers and greater reassurance, while clinicians report streamlined workflows and enhanced confidence in care. Scalable and standards-based, this model sets a blueprint for safer, smarter, digitally enabled pathways across the NHS.
