Frequently Asked Questions
About PrepMD
-
What does PrepMD do?
PrepMD is a cardiac device clinic solutions company that helps healthcare organizations stabilize and scale device clinic operations. PrepMD supports clinics through a combination of technology, remote monitoring services, staffing, and training, addressing the full lifecycle of device clinic operations—from in-clinic workflows and remote monitoring to billing, compliance, and staff development.
-
What makes PrepMD different from other cardiac device companies?
Most companies focus on a single piece of the device clinic workflow, such as software, staffing, or training. PrepMD brings all of these together under one ecosystem built specifically for device clinics. By working with a single partner across technology, services, and training, clinics reduce vendor sprawl, improve consistency, and create more stable, scalable operations.
-
Who does PrepMD work with?
PrepMD works with independent cardiology practices, hospital-based device clinics, regional health systems, and large enterprise organizations. Solutions are designed to scale across single-site clinics as well as multi-location systems with centralized or distributed device clinic models.
PrepMD OMNI – Device Clinic Management Platform
-
What is PrepMD OMNI?
PrepMD OMNI is a cloud-based device clinic management platform designed to support both in-clinic and remote monitoring workflows. OMNI brings together manufacturer data, alert management, clinical documentation, billing automation, compliance tracking, reporting, and training into a single operational platform. Rather than functioning as a standalone remote monitoring tool, OMNI serves as the operational backbone of the device clinic.
-
How is PrepMD OMNI different from traditional remote monitoring software?
Traditional remote monitoring software emphasizes transmission processing. PrepMD OMNI manages the entire workflow surrounding those transmissions, including alert prioritization, documentation, billing readiness, audit trails, recall management, heart failure workflows, and staff solutions. This broader operational focus helps clinics work more predictably and reduces the need for multiple disconnected systems.
-
How does PrepMD OMNI improve billing and revenue for device clinics?
PrepMD OMNI automates CPT/ICD-10 billing workflows, generates audit-ready documentation, and captures missed revenue opportunities. Clinics using OMNI report improved billing accuracy, faster reimbursement cycles, and greater financial performance — all while reducing administrative workload. -
Can PrepMD OMNI replace legacy systems like Paceart?
Yes. PrepMD OMNI is designed as a modern, cloud-based alternative to legacy device clinic systems such as Paceart. PrepMD supports clinics through the transition process by aligning workflows, migrating relevant data, and ensuring continuity of operations. Clinics gain a scalable platform without on-premise infrastructure and with long-term flexibility.
-
How does OMNI help reduce staff burden and burnout?
OMNI reduces staff burden by organizing work into clear, role-based workflows and eliminating manual steps across alert review, documentation, and billing preparation. By centralizing workflows in one platform, clinics reduce task switching and operational uncertainty, allowing staff to focus more on patient care and less on administrative cleanup.
-
Does PrepMD OMNI integrate with EHR systems?
Yes. PrepMD OMNI is designed to integrate securely with electronic health record systems. Integrations support documentation workflows, reporting, and data continuity while maintaining audit readiness. PrepMD works with each organization to align integration pathways based on clinical and technical requirements.
-
What is CareSync?
CareSync is an OMNI capability that enables wireless capture and synchronization of in-clinic device interrogations. It allows clinics to automatically document in-clinic sessions, associate them with the correct patient record, and maintain a complete clinical history without relying on separate tools or manual uploads. This is a great solution for clinics that have relied on Paceart’s SessionSync feature.
-
How does CareSync improve in-clinic workflows?
CareSync reduces manual data handling by capturing in-clinic sessions directly into OMNI. This improves documentation accuracy, supports appropriate billing, and ensures continuity between in-clinic and remote monitoring workflows, all within a single platform.
-
How long does it take to implement PrepMD OMNI?
Implementation timelines vary by organization and the availability of the IT teams within these health systems, but most clinics go live within a few weeks. PrepMD manages onboarding end-to-end, including workflow configuration, training, integration support, and go-live readiness.
-
What support does PrepMD provide after go-live?
PrepMD provides ongoing customer success, technical support, and training updates. Support continues as clinic needs evolve, ensuring long-term stability rather than a one-time software deployment.
-
How does a clinic get started with PrepMD?
Clinics typically begin with a discovery conversation to review workflows, staffing challenges, volume trends, and growth goals. Based on this assessment, PrepMD recommends the appropriate combination of OMNI, remote monitoring services, staffing, and training to support clinic stability and long-term success.
