What does it mean to have a 'confirmed EKG'?

Does physician have to sign and date the EKG tracing? Where is there documentation for this.

The interpretation can be documented in the patient progress note?

Help me with my silly questions. I keep rereading the same information but I hope the way you describe it will help me out.

Thanks.

Confirmed ekg means the doctor confirmed the diagnosis and signed his/her interp.

I’m not sure if the provider needs to sign the tracing as long as the interp is signed but I’m not 100% sure on this question.

Yes the interp can be documented in progress note.
