Effective remote patient monitoring is now central to cardiology care. Fragmented or inflexible systems increase administrative work, contribute to alert fatigue, and limit reimbursement for the services your team already provides.
Clear understanding of platform limitations helps you choose an RPM strategy that supports clinical and financial goals. Rhythm360 has helped practices achieve up to a 300% increase in RPM revenue by improving CPT code capture, workflow design, and data integration.

PaceMate emphasizes EHR integration with major systems and leading cardiac device manufacturers, yet its data exchange often works best with partnered EHRs and device vendors. Practices that rely on less common systems can experience integration gaps.
Impact on your practice: Clinics with diverse device portfolios or nonstandard EHRs may deal with ongoing data fragmentation, manual workarounds, and missing information in patient records.
Rhythm360's solution: Rhythm360 is built as a vendor-neutral platform. It uses APIs, HL7, XML, and computer vision for PDF parsing to ingest and normalize data from all major CIED manufacturers and RPM devices. This approach provides a single source of truth, regardless of which device a patient uses.
Lack of standardization across EHRs and the complexity of older or niche platforms can make integration difficult. Many systems still struggle to exchange structured data reliably with these environments.
Impact on your practice: Staff may resort to manual data entry, which increases administrative burden and raises the risk of transcription errors. Clinicians may not see a complete view of patient data inside the RPM workspace.
Rhythm360's solution: Rhythm360 applies AI and computer vision to ingest and normalize data from structured interfaces and unstructured PDFs. This flexibility supports a wide range of EHR environments and helps maintain a consistent, accurate patient record.
Complex cardiac patients generate high volumes of data. Platforms that lack advanced filtering and triage logic can overwhelm clinicians with noncritical alerts.
Impact on your practice: Teams may face alert fatigue, slower response to truly urgent events, and higher risk of staff burnout as they sort through noise to find critical issues.
Rhythm360's solution: Rhythm360 uses AI-supported alert triage to reduce non-actionable notifications and prioritize clinically significant events. Practices have seen up to an 80% reduction in response times for critical alerts, so clinicians can focus on high-risk patients.
Some RPM platforms design workflows mainly around CIED management. This narrow focus can create friction when the same team needs to monitor conditions such as heart failure and hypertension alongside device patients.
Impact on your practice: Staff may need to maintain separate workflows or systems for different conditions, which reduces efficiency and complicates care coordination.
Rhythm360's solution: Rhythm360 provides distinct but integrated service lines for Rhythm-CIED and HF/HTN RPM. Teams use a unified workspace with flexible architecture that supports customized workflows across multiple cardiac patient cohorts.
Remote monitoring reimbursement depends on accurate CPT code selection, time tracking, and documentation. Platforms that do not support detailed automation for these tasks can leave billable work unrecorded.
Impact on your practice: Incomplete or inconsistent documentation can lead to missed revenue, compliance risk, and uncertainty for billing teams.
Rhythm360's solution: Rhythm360 includes automated CPT code capture and structured documentation workflows. The platform creates an auditable trail for each billable event and has helped practices recover up to 300% more RPM revenue compared with prior processes.
Implementing an RPM platform often requires investment in interfaces, configuration, and staff training. Practices with smaller budgets or nonstandard environments can experience significant onboarding friction.
Impact on your practice: High upfront costs and long setup timelines may delay access to advanced RPM tools or limit adoption to only part of the practice.
Rhythm360's solution: Rhythm360 uses a flexible SaaS-based pricing model that scales with clinic size and usage, reducing upfront cost. Implementation, including EHR integration, typically takes from a few days to a few weeks, which helps minimize disruption.
RPM platforms that depend on a single data feed are vulnerable to connectivity issues and OEM server downtime. These disruptions can create gaps in monitoring data.
Impact on your practice: Missing data can delay clinical decisions, obscure important trends, and reduce clinician confidence in the monitoring program.
Rhythm360's solution: Rhythm360 uses redundant data feeds, computer vision, and AI-supported extrapolation to identify and fill transmission gaps. This design supports data transmissibility above 99.9%, so critical patient information remains available even during technical issues.
Here is a comparison of how Rhythm360 approaches key areas of remote monitoring:
Feature/Aspect | General Limitations | Rhythm360 Advantage |
Vendor Neutrality | Integration often works best for partnered OEMs and EHRs, with potential gaps for other systems. | Vendor-neutral data ingestion from all CIEDs and RPM devices using APIs, HL7, XML, and AI-based OCR. |
Data Integration | Reliable for major EHRs, but more difficult with legacy or niche platforms. | AI-powered normalization across varied EHRs and unstructured data sources, supporting data reliability above 99.9%. |
Alert Management | Higher risk of alert fatigue when managing large volumes or complex patients if rules are not fully optimized. | AI-supported triage filters non-actionable alerts and can reduce critical response times by up to 80%. |
Workflow Rigidity | Workflows may require adjustment to handle multi-modality care beyond CIED management. | Integrated service lines for Rhythm-CIED and HF/HTN RPM that support customizable, multi-condition workflows. |
Practices that want to reduce data gaps, streamline RPM workflows, and improve revenue capture can schedule a demo to evaluate Rhythm360.
A: Rhythm360 integrates with most EHRs using APIs, HL7, XML, and advanced computer vision for documents, so data can flow across a wide range of technical environments.
A: Rhythm360 uses a vendor-neutral architecture with multiple data ingestion methods, including computer vision for PDFs, to capture data from all major CIEDs and other cardiac monitoring devices.
A: Yes. Rhythm360 offers distinct yet integrated service lines for Rhythm-CIED and HF/HTN RPM, giving clinicians a single platform for multidisciplinary cardiac care.
A: Rhythm360 uses a SaaS-based pricing model that scales with clinic size and usage, which reduces upfront cost. Most implementations, including EHR integration, take from a few days to a few weeks.
A: Rhythm360 supports data transmissibility above 99.9% through redundant feeds, computer vision, and AI-supported extrapolation, so critical data remains available even when primary connections fail.
Limitations in vendor neutrality, data integration, alert management, and workflow flexibility can affect patient care, staff efficiency, and financial performance. A platform that handles diverse devices and EHRs while reducing noise and manual work can make RPM more sustainable for your team.
Rhythm360 offers a vendor-neutral, AI-supported approach that unifies cardiac device and RPM data, supports both CIED and chronic disease management, and automates key billing workflows. Practices using Rhythm360 have reported up to an 80% reduction in response times for critical alerts, up to a 300% increase in RPM revenue through optimized CPT capture, and data reliability above 99.9%.
