Access every ECG. Instantly. Across your organisation.
Across multi-site NHS environments, ECG data is critical to diagnosis and decision-making. But when ECGs are stored across systems, sites, or paper workflows, accessing them quickly can be a challenge.
The result? Delays in clinical decisions... repeat tests when data can’t be found... increased pressure on already stretched teams...
Why ECG data is hard to access today
In many NHS organisations, ECG workflows have evolved over time—often becoming fragmented and manual.
Common challenges include:
- ECG records stored across multiple systems and locations
- Continued reliance on printing, scanning, and manual uploads
- Risk of mislabelled or mismatched patient records
- Time lost searching for ECGs when decisions need to be made quickly
The impact across your organisation
When ECG workflows are not fully connected, the impact is felt across the organisation:
For clinical teams
Less time spent with patients, more time spent locating information.
For patients
Delays in diagnosis and treatment, or repeat ECGs when results aren’t accessible.
For hospitals and systems
Reduced efficiency, duplicated work, and lower confidence in data across sites.
A more connected approach to ECG data
Digital ECG management systems, such as MUSE™ NX, help bring ECG workflows together—so clinicians can access the right data, at the right time.
Clinicians can access a single, consistent ECG record across the organisation, without needing to search across systems or request information. ECGs are available instantly at the point of care, helping reduce delays and avoid unnecessary repeat tests. At the same time, removing manual steps such as printing and scanning helps free up valuable clinical and administrative time.

Fast, reliable access
Clinicians can view ECGs instantly—without searching or delays
Less manual work
Eliminate printing, scanning, and time-consuming admin processes
Real NHS example:
Connecting ECG services across primary and acute care
Warrington & Halton Teaching Hospitals NHS Trust has taken a more connected approach to managing ECG data, extending access beyond the hospital and into the community.
By linking 34 GP practices directly to its ECG services, the Trust has helped ensure that clinicians can access the information they need more quickly, regardless of where care is delivered.
This approach has helped reduce the need for repeat ECGs, improve access to diagnostics across care settings, and support earlier clinical decision-making. By making ECG data available where and when it’s needed, the Trust has also been able to ease pressure on acute services while enabling more care to be delivered closer to home.

Interested in the sustainability benefits of digitising your ECG workflow?
As NHS organisations work toward ambitious Net Zero and sustainability targets, reducing reliance on paper-based processes has become a key priority in delivering more environmentally responsible care.
This case study showcases how a leading European hospital group transitioned its cardiology services to a fully paperless ECG workflow as part of a broader vision to become a “green” hospital.
