A member asked:

If a doctor does not agree with an automated ecg, does he re do the ecg or just mark it as rejected or something?

3 doctors weighed in across 2 answers

ECG : The official ECG reading is the one signed by the physician. The machine reading is a suggestion and must be accepted or corrected by physician.
