Geneva Health Solutions (GHS), the leading cloud-based technology platform and service for managing data from implantable cardiac devices, has formalized its internal training systems by launching Geneva University, a business unit within GHS. Geneva University will be focused on the continuous improvement of all clinical and administrative processes.
“Implantable cardiac device remote monitoring requires distinct data analytics skills to properly review arrhythmia data,” said Yuri Sudhakar, CEO of GHS. “Geneva University enriches the skillset of our cardiac device technicians, so they can achieve the highest standards in cardiac remote monitoring.”
Geneva University is being led by Co-founder and Chief Medical Officer Manish Wadhwa M.D., FHRS; Clinical Advisor Nicolas T. Skipitaris M.D., FHRS; and Chief Nursing Officer Debra Halligan, RN. GHS has brought together a multi-disciplinary team of physicians, nurses, technicians and technologists who have developed best practices for remote monitoring of cardiac implantable devices.
“We intend for Geneva University to become part of the ecosystem of teaching organizations that have created certifications within the cardiac device space,” said Dr. Wadhwa. “In providing the GHS remote monitoring service to over 60 practices, our composite experience has allowed development of a system for training and continuing education which ensures the delivery of the highest caliber service.”
Wadhwa is a cardiac electrophysiologist specialist in private practice in San Diego, Calif. Wadhwa earned his medical degree from Penn State University-Thomas Jefferson Medical College six-year BSc-M.D. program and completed his training in cardiac electrophysiology at the University of California at San Diego.
Skipitaris is presently the western regional director of Cardiac Electrophysiology for Northwell Health and the director of the Cardiac Electrophysiology Department and the Heart Rhythm Center at Lenox Hill Heart and Lung in New York, N.Y. He earned a master's degree in business administration from the Massachusetts Institute of Technology and received his medical degree from the Dartmouth-Brown Program in Medicine.
Halligan served as the vice president of Clinical Operations at GHS prior to taking on the role of chief nursing officer. Before joining GHS, she was the clinical leader of the Pacemaker/Implantable Cardioverter Defibrillator Clinic at the North Shore Medical Center in Salem, Mass. She earned a bachelor of science degree in nursing from the University of Massachusetts, Dartmouth.
Geneva Health Solutions transforms cardiac device data into actionable information to improve clinical workflow and patient care for cardiology practices and systems across the country. Geneva is the only solution offering to combine a patent-pending enterprise cloud-based platform and a top-tier service for remote monitoring of implantable cardiac devices.
