Abstract
In 2001, the North American Society of Pacing and Electrophysiology (now the Heart Rhythm Society) published a policy statement to provide guidance for industry-employed allied professionals (IEAPs) who provide technical assistance during pacemaker/implantable cardioverter defibrillator (ICD) implantations, programming, analysis of malfunctions, and follow-up1; the policy was updated in 2008 (Table 1).2 Since those publications, their principles have been incorporated in the other Heart Rhythm Society expert consensus statements that look at the role of the cardiac implantable electronic device (CIED) team and IEAPs in patient care delivery in our profession.
