In a fragmented environment, a device technician managing patients with Medtronic, Boston Scientific, Abbott, and Biotronik implants logs into four separate OEM portals, reconciles conflicting data formats, and manually transcribes findings into the EHR. This process consumes hours of clinical staff time each day.
Rhythm360 replaces that multi-portal process with a single dashboard. Data from all supported manufacturers flows in via API, HL7, XML, and PDF parsing through computer vision, then appears in a consistent format. Clinicians open one screen, review prioritized transmissions, and push completed documentation directly into the patient record in the EHR. This workflow removes redundant logins and manual transcription, so staff can focus on patient care rather than data retrieval.
A 2026 cross-manufacturer analysis by Implicity of 2,659 rhythm episodes from 1,710 patients found that 32.9% of episodes in AI-equipped implantable cardiac monitors were non-actionable, and 30.6% were indeterminate. Devices without proprietary AI algorithms performed worse. As Niraj Varma, MD, PhD, Professor of Medicine and Consultant Electrophysiologist at the Cleveland Clinic, stated, “False-positive alerts remain one of the biggest operational challenges in remote cardiac monitoring.”
Rhythm360 addresses this with AI-powered alert triage that filters non-actionable noise and surfaces clinically significant events in near-real time, reducing critical response times by up to 80%. Andrew Beaser, MD, Associate Professor of Medicine at the University of Chicago Medicine (UCM), noted after implementing Rhythm360, “Decision support, including AI-assisted decision support, will become increasingly important as data volumes grow.”
Rhythm360 achieves greater than 99.9% data transmissibility through redundant data feeds, computer vision OCR, and AI-powered extrapolation that fills gaps when an OEM server is temporarily unavailable. The platform supports Medtronic, Boston Scientific, Abbott, Biotronik, and other manufacturers without forcing practices to standardize on a single device brand.
The scale this enables is documented at UCM, where clinicians reviewed more than 73,000 reports annually through Rhythm360 in calendar year 2025, averaging more than 18,000 reports per quarter. UCM’s Andrew Beaser, MD, observed that the platform enabled clinicians to review more transmissions daily and identify more abnormalities. That outcome reflects reliable, unified data ingestion at scale.
Rhythm360 integrates bi-directionally with Epic, Cerner, Athenahealth, eClinicalWorks, Greenway Health, and other systems via HL7. Data flows in both directions: patient demographics and device details pull into Rhythm360 automatically, while completed reports, alert documentation, and billing-ready summaries push back into the EHR without manual transcription.
This architecture removes the double-entry burden that drives staff burnout and documentation errors. EHR integration is typically the slowest component of any remote monitoring deployment, but Rhythm360’s pre-built connectors compress that timeline to days or weeks rather than months. Gaurav A. Upadhyay, MD, at UCM confirmed the downstream effect, stating, “We have improved billing and accountability for our patients after the integration.”
CIED remote monitoring is billed under device-specific CPT codes 93294–93298 rather than the general RPM codes, while chronic disease RPM services use the 2026 code set that now includes new codes 99445 and 99470 alongside established codes 99453, 99454, 99457, and 99458.
Effective January 1, 2026, approximate national average Medicare reimbursement rates are: CPT 99453 (~$22 one-time setup), CPT 99454 (~$47/month for 16+ transmission days), CPT 99445 (~$47/month for 2–15 transmission days), CPT 99470 (~$26/month for 10–19 minutes of management), CPT 99457 (~$52/month for first 20 minutes), and CPT 99458 (~$41/month per additional 20-minute increment). In a September 2024 OIG review, roughly 43% of enrollees did not receive all three required service components, a gap that reflects incomplete billing capture rather than incomplete care delivery.
Rhythm360 automates CPT code tracking and documentation across both CIED and RPM service lines, flags billable events, generates compliant records, and reduces the manual burden that causes revenue leakage. Practices implementing Rhythm360 have documented up to a 300% increase in revenue through optimized CPT capture and improved staff efficiency.

Rhythm360’s onboarding process is designed to reach the first billed patient within days to a few weeks of contract signing, depending on EHR environment complexity and practice size. The phased approach follows a structured sequence:
This phased approach reflects Rhythm360’s pre-built integrations and standardized onboarding protocols.
Rhythm360’s HIPAA-compliant mobile application allows electrophysiologists, cardiologists, and device technicians to review transmissions, sign reports, and coordinate care from any location. This capability proves especially valuable for on-call coverage and weekend monitoring, where delayed access to critical alerts carries direct patient safety implications.
Andrew Beaser, MD, at UCM described the practical impact, stating, “I am more likely to sign off on these while in meetings because I can easily access them on my phone.” The mobile interface maintains the same audit trail and documentation standards as the desktop platform, so compliance remains intact while mobility increases.
The following table connects each core Rhythm360 capability to documented clinical and financial outcomes, showing how specific features translate into measurable workflow improvements.
| Rhythm360 Feature | Documented Clinic Outcome |
|---|---|
| Vendor-neutral data ingestion (>99.9% transmissibility) via redundant feeds, computer vision, and AI extrapolation | UCM maintained stable dismissal rates across high-volume quarterly processing |
| AI-powered alert triage filtering non-actionable transmissions | Faster critical event response through AI filtering and earlier intervention before scheduled visits |
| Bi-directional EHR integration (Epic, Cerner, Athenahealth, and others) | Improved billing accountability and documentation completeness at UCM post-integration |
| Automated CPT code capture for CIED (93294–93298) and RPM (99453–99458, 99445, 99470) service lines | Significant revenue gains through optimized billing capture and reduced claim leakage |
| HIPAA-compliant mobile application for remote report signing and alert review | Physicians sign reports during meetings; continuous care coordination without workstation dependency |
| Integrated HF/HTN RPM service lines alongside CIED monitoring | Single platform manages rhythm disorders, heart failure, and hypertension without separate tools or logins |
When evaluating cardiac remote monitoring platforms, use this checklist to assess whether a solution meets the operational, clinical, and financial requirements of a modern cardiology practice:
Rhythm360’s implementation process is designed to reach the first billed patient within days to a few weeks of contract signing. The timeline depends on the complexity of the practice’s EHR environment and the number of device manufacturer feeds being activated. Rhythm360’s pre-built integrations with Epic, Cerner, Athenahealth, eClinicalWorks, and Greenway Health compress the EHR setup phase compared to custom-built connections.
Practices with straightforward single-EHR environments typically complete onboarding faster, while multi-site or multi-EHR deployments may require additional validation steps. No significant IT resources or hardware installation are required from the practice.
Yes. Rhythm360’s mobile application is built to HIPAA standards, with encrypted data transmission, role-based access controls, and a full audit trail for every action taken within the app, including report signing, alert acknowledgment, and patient communication. Clinicians can review transmissions, approve reports, and coordinate care from their smartphones without compromising the documentation integrity required for billing compliance and regulatory audits.
The mobile experience mirrors the desktop platform’s functionality rather than offering a reduced feature set.
Rhythm360 provides distinct but integrated service lines for Rhythm-CIED, covering pacemakers, ICDs, implantable loop recorders, CRT/CCM devices, and CardioMEMS pulmonary artery monitors, and for chronic disease RPM, covering heart failure and hypertension. Both service lines operate within the same centralized workspace, so a practice managing a patient with both a CIED and a heart failure diagnosis does not need separate platforms or separate logins.
The platform’s automated CPT tracking covers both the cardiac device-specific codes (93294–93298) and the 2026 RPM code set (99453, 99445, 99454, 99470, 99457, 99458) simultaneously.
Practices using Rhythm360’s AI-powered alert triage have achieved the response time improvements described earlier. At the University of Chicago Medicine, implementation enabled clinicians to review more transmissions daily and identify abnormalities earlier, allowing intervention before a scheduled 3-month visit rather than after.
The platform’s AI triage filters non-actionable transmissions so clinical staff spend time on events that require action, reducing the burnout and missed-event risk associated with high-volume alert environments. The optional 24/7/365 oversight layer staffed by certified cardiac technicians supervised by physicians provides an additional safety net for practices that want human review alongside AI classification.
Fragmented OEM portals, unfiltered alert volumes, manual EHR transcription, and incomplete CPT capture are not inevitable features of cardiac remote monitoring. They arise when practices manage complex workflows without a unified platform. Rhythm360 addresses each of these pain points through vendor-neutral data ingestion at greater than 99.9% transmissibility, AI-powered alert triage, bi-directional EHR integration, automated billing documentation across both CIED and RPM service lines, and a HIPAA-compliant mobile application that keeps clinicians connected regardless of location.
The documented outcomes, including the response time improvements documented in alert triage deployments, the high-volume processing demonstrated at UCM, and the revenue improvements achieved through automated CPT capture, show what a purpose-built, unified platform delivers when it replaces fragmented workflows with a single source of truth.
Other platforms in the cardiac remote monitoring space, including Paceart, Murj, PaceMate, Implicity, Rhythm Management Group, and Octagos, address portions of the CIED and RPM workflow challenge. Rhythm360 serves as the single operational hub across both service lines for practices ready to consolidate.
