Follow-Up Reading – No Wireless Connection Available

When your patient returns to your institution for follow up visits, you may use the Hospital Electronics System to take follow-up
pressure readings. On the first follow-up visit, you will need to retrieve the information on your patient from the Merlin.net Patient
Care Network Heart Failure Management Application. You will also need to retrieve the updated information on your patient if there
have been any repeat right heart catheterizations where the baseline changed.
