Using electrodes connected to a computer monitor, we can record the heart’s electrical activity and identify an abnormal heart rate or rhythm.

Electronic Visit Documentation

Notes from your visit will be available to you electronically, so you, your caregiver and your providers can access them anytime, anywhere.

Inter-Hospital Transfers

When one of our ERs is at capacity, our UChicago Medicine AdventHealth emergency teams will coordinate to find you the emergency attention you need once your medical condition has been stabilized.
