On Demand: Tackling Operational Inefficiencies in Cardiac Remote Monitoring Part II: Strategies Utilizing Data for Long-Term Success-Webinar Recording

Video Transcription

Video Summary

The webinar discusses strategies for improving operational efficiencies in cardiac remote monitoring, specifically in device clinics. Presenters Amy Coleman, a clinical manager, and Ashford Denman, an experienced cardiovascular care professional, share insights on integrating technology to streamline workflows, utilizing data for long-term success, and enhancing patient and staff satisfaction. The discussion highlights the selection and implementation of a new all-in-one, cloud-based platform, PaceMate, which replaced a legacy system, reducing administrative burdens and increasing billing efficiencies.<br /><br />EMR integration and automated data synchronization from vendor sites eliminated manual processes, enabling prioritized patient care through real-time updates and critical alerts. The system also allowed for managing frequent alert-generating patients, reducing alert fatigue among staff.<br /><br />An innovative recall management feature assists in swiftly addressing device recalls, previously a burdensome manual task, thus improving patient safety and operational compliance. Detailed reporting capabilities enable efficient data usage, helping administrators optimize resource allocation, track performance metrics, and enhance decision-making for device purchasing and vendor negotiations.<br /><br />Transitioning to this system significantly improved staff productivity by reducing workload by as much as 70%, increased patient capacity by 50%, and enabled more clinic appointments, enhancing access and satisfaction. A notable 20% increase in net revenue was achieved through better capture of billable services, underscoring the financial benefits of the transition. Overall, the effective implementation of these strategies resulted in streamlined operations, enhanced care delivery, and improved financial outcomes.
