EHR integration for better patient care & efficiency

Managing patient data from cardiac implantable electronic devices (CIEDs) has traditionally been a complex and time-consuming process for clinics, often requiring staff to navigate multiple interfaces and protocols. This can lead to laborious manual workflows and potential compliance issues. Administrative waste in the US healthcare system accounts for roughly $250 billion in annual spending, much of it stemming from unnecessary or redundant processes.

Murj’s latest white paper, “Improving Electrophysiology Patient Care and Outcomes Through Electronic Health Record System Interoperability,” explores how integrating CIED data with electronic health record (EHR) systems cuts down on unnecessary processes, leading to significant efficiency gains, decreased staff manual workload, and—most importantly—improved patient outcomes.

Integrating CIED data platforms with EHRs streamlines workflows for clinical review and billing. By synchronizing device data and monitoring reports in real-time, duplicate manual entries are eliminated, and essential patient information becomes readily accessible for clinicians.

Key takeaways

Improved efficiency: EHR integration eliminates duplicate data entry, reduces the need to switch between systems, and streamlines workflows for clinical reviews and billing.
Enhanced billing accuracy: Integrated systems can significantly improve billing capture for device clinics. One large integrated delivery network (IDN) saw a 66 percent increase in appropriate remote monitoring billing activity after implementing an EHR-integrated CIED platform.
Better patient care: Comprehensive patient information, including medication lists and cardiac metrics, is readily available within the CIED platform, leading to more informed clinical decision-making.
Automated scheduling: Integration can automate the scheduling of device checks, aligning billing and scheduling with automated features and regular reports.
Data cleansing: Integration includes cleansing data to account for incorrect entries when transferring data from on-premises CIED data repositories.
Time savings: Integrated systems save clinic staff time by reducing the time required for remote and in-person management of patients with cardiac devices.
