The Power of Data: Early Detection, Better Patient Outcomes.
Early intervention in cardiac care is revolutionizing patient outcomes, thanks to advanced remote monitoring technologies. Dr. Anne Kroman, DO, PhD, cardiac electrophysiologist and director of the lead management program at the Medical University of South Carolina (MUSC), highlights how these innovations enable timely interventions.
Preventing Health Declines Through Real-Time Cardiac Data.
Dr. Anne Kroman discusses how real-time monitoring can detect subtle changes early, ensuring interventions happen before health parameters are compromised.
Seamless Implementation.
Managing a device clinic can be complex and demanding, but onboarding a remote monitoring solution doesn’t have to be. Onboard effortlessly with a “flip the switch” implementation. Your entire patient roster is live from day one, with virtually no data entry.
Automatic Billing Capture.
By using a single sign-on platform featuring automatic billing, you can streamline your administrative tasks significantly. Consolidating EHR data, device alerts, medications, and more into one easily navigable interface allows you to review, click, bill, and move on efficiently.
Safety: PaceMate Autopopulates Medications to Epic.
Enhancing patient care is at the top of our day-to-day list. Here’s an educational insight into how automation can benefit your clinic by reducing manual entry errors and improve overall safety.

Dr. Mark Borganelli discusses finding PaceMate as a solution that proved to be adaptive, something they could trust long term, and integrated into their processes quickly. Additionally, the ease of onboarding PaceMate with support from the PaceMate team was a tremendous advantage to his team.
“It [implementing PaceMate] was really easy. It was one of the easiest things I thought we had come across in turns of doing an onboarding of an IT system. We had tremendous support both at the institution and really from PaceMate, PaceMate made it really easy, almost turnkey.”
Dr. Asim Ahmed offers advice to centers that are trying to integrate all their sources of EP data into one location.
“…we just had a good relationship with the [PaceMate] team, and we were able to find that they were personally not just available to us, but also willing to talk to us and integrate on large and small features altogether.”
Alaina Mathers explains the user-friendly advantages that led her team to choose PaceMate as a solution over Murj.
“My team in the clinic is very tech savvy. They could have handled any software I threw at them, but at the end of the day, that report’s going into another hand, and we had to ensure that the other side of that problem and equation was equally as happy with the product. So when we saw the viewable aspect of PaceMate, the ease of navigation, the simplicity for the doctors to get in there and see the information they needed to see—that was sort of the [decision maker] for us.”
Dr. Asim Ahmed discusses how incorporating PaceMate into his workflow helped his team streamline significantly, reducing the burden of work and the amount of time spent on each process.
“But by incorporating a new workflow, like PaceMate, what we do is we order directly through the EMR because it’s already built in and there’s bidirectional compatibility with the API. It actually just pre-populates. It pulls in that data from the patient that’s not having to be manually entered or punched…it took us from like an eight stage step that was full of delays and hindrances to basically a three stage process—order it, results come in, sign it, and from there it’s populated to the charts.”
Alaina Mathers breaks down the makeup of her clinic and their need for operability. With approximately 3,100 device patients, one of the biggest advantages PaceMate offers her team is seamless integration with Epic.
“Probably the biggest factor [of choosing PaceMate] was the Epic integration. Obviously, whatever system we chose, we wanted it to work with the current system. There are other vendors out there that offer that, but when we did our research, it [PaceMate] did integrate so well with Epic and so seamlessly from the other people we had discussed it with and talked to that it was just sort of a no-brainer for us.”
