About Memorial Healthcare System – A Legacy of Compassionate, Cutting‑Edge Care

Memorial Healthcare System is a regional leader in delivering high‑quality, patient‑centered health services to the vibrant communities of South Broward. With a heritage that spans more than a century, Memorial has built a reputation for “Deeper Caring” and “Smarter Healthcare” – a culture where clinical excellence meets innovative technology, and every team member is empowered to make a meaningful difference in the lives of patients and their families. From groundbreaking cardiac programs to award‑winning emergency services, our hospitals, specialty centers, and outpatient facilities are united by a shared vision: to improve health, well‑being, and quality of life for every person entrusted to our care.

As part of this mission, we are continuously expanding our telemetry services to ensure that critical cardiac monitoring is available around the clock, 24 hours a day, 7 days a week. The Remote Night Shift Monitor Technician I position plays a pivotal role in this effort, providing essential real‑time surveillance of cardiac rhythms for patients in the Inpatient Monitoring Care Unit (IMCU) while working from the safety and flexibility of a home‑based environment.

Position Overview – What It Means to Be a Remote Monitor Technician I

In this full‑time, night‑only role, you will operate under the supervision of a registered nurse (RN) and function as the eyes and ears of the critical‑care team. Your primary responsibility is to continuously monitor, interpret, and document cardiac telemetry data, promptly alerting nursing staff to any deviations, arrhythmias, or signs of patient deterioration. When a lethal arrhythmia or cardiac arrest is detected, you will activate the rapid‑response or code team, ensuring that lifesaving interventions are delivered without delay.

Working remotely does not mean you are isolated; you will be an integral member of a collaborative, technology‑driven team that communicates via secure messaging platforms, video conferences, and real‑time alerts. You will have access to Memorial’s state‑of‑the‑art telemetry software, comprehensive training resources, and ongoing mentorship from seasoned cardiovascular specialists.

Key Responsibilities – Your Daily Impact on Patient Safety
