Multi-OEM portals force staff into unsustainable, manual workflows. Teams juggle different login credentials, interfaces, and export formats for every manufacturer. This constant switching consumes clinical time and increases the risk of human error. Data fragmentation affects 65% of CIED monitoring workflows, so practices must maintain specialized knowledge for each vendor system. A few “super-users” often become bottlenecks, slowing daily operations and delaying patient care.
Alert fatigue creates a direct safety risk for patients with CIEDs and RPM devices. Over 50% of CIED alerts are clinically insignificant, contributing to alert fatigue that impacts 80% of device clinic staff. Non-actionable notifications flood inboxes and desensitize clinicians to real emergencies. Up to 30% of critical events are missed due to data fragmentation and alert overload. Patients then face a higher risk of stroke, syncope, and other life-threatening complications.
Fragmented systems make comprehensive tracking of billable events extremely difficult. CPT codes 93298 and 93299 for remote interrogation of subcutaneous cardiac rhythm monitors require precise documentation that scattered data rarely supports. The 2026 Medicare PFS Final Rule includes updates to RPM codes like 99454, which increases complexity for practices running multiple platforms. Without unified tracking, practices lose revenue, face more denials, and struggle to prove compliance.
Rhythm360 replaces portal chaos with a single, vendor-neutral platform. The system ingests data from all major manufacturers, including Medtronic, Boston Scientific, Abbott, and Biotronik, using API connections, HL7 interfaces, XML parsing, and AI-powered computer vision for PDF documents. This architecture achieves more than 99.9% data transmissibility through redundant feeds and intelligent extrapolation when primary connections fail.
The unified dashboard brings all patient data into one interface. AI-powered alert triage filters non-actionable notifications and prioritizes true emergencies, which cuts response times by 80%. Bi-directional EHR integration with Epic, Cerner, and other major systems keeps workflows inside the tools clinicians already use. A secure mobile app lets clinicians manage critical alerts from any location.
Rhythm360 also delivers true vendor neutrality that competitors like PaceMate, Implicity, or Octagos do not match. Those platforms often provide partial OEM integration and limited billing support. Rhythm360 combines full OEM coverage with automated billing for all relevant CPT codes. The platform’s reporting and documentation tools help practices recover lost revenue while easing administrative workload. Schedule a demo today to see how Rhythm360 converts fragmented workflows into streamlined, profitable operations.
Implementation follows a clear, stepwise process that usually completes in days or weeks. The technical team first establishes secure API connections to all OEM portals and configures bi-directional EHR integration with Epic, Cerner, or other systems. Historical patient data then flows into the unified dashboard, where the platform normalizes formats automatically.
Next, clinical staff receive focused training on the consolidated interface and AI alert triage. Rhythm360 learns your practice’s alert preferences and begins filtering routine notifications. Critical events such as new-onset atrial fibrillation, ventricular tachycardia, or device malfunctions move to the top of the queue.
Automated CPT code capture then activates for billing codes, including 93298, 93299, and 99454, aligned with 2026 Medicare updates. A real-time revenue dashboard shows captured charges and highlights missed opportunities, so teams can correct gaps quickly.
Mobile access supports on-call management through a secure smartphone app. Clinicians can review transmissions, sign reports, and coordinate care from anywhere, which maintains continuous monitoring even on weekends or holidays.
The patient communication hub finally automates routine follow-ups and maintains complete audit trails. A weekend atrial fibrillation alert, for example, can reach the on-call physician through the app. That physician can start anticoagulation immediately and potentially prevent a stroke that a fragmented system might have missed.

Cloud-based competitors such as PaceMate, Implicity, and Octagos offer automation and AI, yet often with partial OEM integration. Patches show improved diagnostic yield over Holter monitors, but they operate independently from CIED workflows. Teams then manage separate data streams and duplicate work. Rhythm360’s vendor-neutral design removes these silos by unifying CIED and RPM data in one platform. AI-driven triage reduces alert fatigue while maintaining CPT code compliance. Schedule a demo to compare Rhythm360’s full integration with OEM-limited alternatives.
Data silos remain the biggest barrier to effective arrhythmia monitoring. Rhythm360’s API framework removes these silos by creating redundant data feeds that stay active even during OEM server downtime. When a primary connection fails, AI extrapolation and backup feeds maintain continuous monitoring.
Claim denials from incomplete documentation decrease sharply with automated compliance tracking. Rhythm360 monitors all billable events and generates documentation for CPT codes 93298, 93299, and 99454 that aligns with 2026 Medicare requirements. Revenue leakage shrinks as every qualifying interaction produces the correct billing record.
AI-powered RPM platforms demonstrate significant clinical and financial benefits, with some programs saving $4,000 per patient per year. Rhythm360 clients report 80% faster response times to critical alerts, which supports earlier intervention, fewer hospitalizations, and better outcomes.
The 300% revenue increase comes from several sources. Automated CPT capture closes billing gaps, streamlined workflows reduce staffing overhead, and new RPM service lines for heart failure and hypertension add fresh revenue streams. A typical example involves weekend ventricular tachycardia detection through mobile alerts. The team can reprogram the device quickly and avoid an emergency admission, which protects both the patient and the bottom line.
Mature deployments extend beyond arrhythmia monitoring into broader chronic disease management. Heart failure and hypertension RPM modules further increase practice profitability and deepen patient engagement.
Vendor-neutral monitoring pulls data from every device manufacturer into a single platform, so staff no longer log into multiple OEM portals. Instead of separate interfaces for Medtronic, Boston Scientific, Abbott, and Biotronik, clinicians use one unified dashboard. This approach cuts administrative work, reduces data fragmentation, and lowers the chance of missing critical alerts due to portal overload. Vendor-neutral platforms become essential as practices implant devices from many manufacturers and manage large populations.
Rhythm360 maintains more than 99.9% data transmissibility through redundant feeds and AI extrapolation. When primary API connections to OEM servers fail, backup feeds activate automatically to keep data flowing. Computer vision tools extract information from PDF reports when direct feeds are unavailable. AI models then fill short gaps using historical patterns and device behavior. This layered design keeps monitoring active during manufacturer outages or network disruptions.
Key CPT codes for arrhythmia monitoring include 93298 for remote interrogation of subcutaneous cardiac rhythm monitors up to 30 days, 93299 for similar services with different specifications, and 99454 for remote physiologic monitoring. The 2026 Medicare Physician Fee Schedule updates RPM code families with new codes and resurveyed values. Practices must maintain accurate documentation and follow updated rules to secure full reimbursement and avoid denials.
Cardiology practices reduce alert fatigue by using intelligent filtering that separates meaningful events from routine noise. AI triage engines review alerts against patient history, device parameters, and clinical protocols, then prioritize true emergencies. Effective platforms cut non-actionable alerts by 60% or more while ensuring rapid attention for new-onset atrial fibrillation, ventricular arrhythmias, or device malfunctions. Unified dashboards also prevent duplicate alerts across OEM portals, which further reduces overload.
Rhythm360 delivers broader multi-OEM integration than competitors that cover only selected vendors or device types. PaceMate incorporates Medtronic’s Paceart technology, and Implicity focuses heavily on AI filtering, yet both lack Rhythm360’s combination of full vendor neutrality and robust bi-directional EHR integration. Rhythm360’s 300% revenue uplift from automated billing, paired with unified data consolidation, creates a measurable ROI advantage over fragmented solutions that require multiple platforms or restrict manufacturer compatibility.
Fragmented OEM portals and constant alert fatigue no longer need to define arrhythmia monitoring. Cardiology practices can move to a unified platform that consolidates device data, reduces administrative work, and captures revenue through automated compliance. Rhythm360 delivers these capabilities while improving outcomes with faster response times and continuous monitoring.
