Host: Brian Zimmerman, Becker’s Healthcare
Overview
In this Becker’s Healthcare Podcast episode, Todd Butka, Founder and CEO of Murj®, discusses the shift from episodic to interval-based cardiac monitoring and why continuous, data-driven care models are essential for better outcomes and reimbursement. He also shares how health systems can evaluate technology partners and prepare for the next generation of remote monitoring.
In this episode:
- The Apple influence: How a design-first, problem-solving approach from the tech world can solve the manual, fragmented workflows currently plaguing cardiac clinics.
- The shift to interval-based care: Why health systems must move away from episodic thinking toward managing the ongoing flow of patient data.
- Strategic vendor alignment: Why a partner’s revenue model is the truest indicator of their behavior, and how to use that insight to ensure your technology goals aren’t compromised by misaligned incentives.
- Digital literacy vs. adopting tech: Why buying new software isn’t enough.
“We aren’t just managing a device or a specific patient moment; we are managing a flow of information that is ongoing. The future belongs to those who can turn that data into efficient, high-standard care.”
— Todd Butka, Founder & CEO, Murj
Streamlining cardiac workflows
Modern remote monitoring generates a relentless flow of data that often outpaces a clinic’s manual tracking capabilities. When teams are buried in transmissions, it becomes difficult to identify exactly when clinical work meets reimbursement eligibility, leading to missed billing intervals and uncompensated care.
Murj was designed to bridge this gap, helping clinical teams manage the transition from episodic to interval-based care without increasing the administrative burden. By automating data collection and charge capture, we help staff stay focused on clinical intervention rather than manual tracking.
