But choosing the right AI platform can be overwhelming. With so many vendors promising automation, intelligence, and integration, how do you know which one will actually work for your clinic?
This guide walks through the critical decision-making criteria for selecting an AI partner tailored to cardiology operations. We’ll look at what really matters—from clinical relevance and execution capabilities to compliance, scalability, and long-term value.
1. Prioritize Clinical Relevance
Most AI vendors say they “work in healthcare,” but few are built for specialty care like cardiology. A generic platform that automates workflows for dermatology or dentistry likely won’t understand the complexity of cardiovascular diagnostics, device data, or chronic patient management.
Look for platforms that:
- Support cardiology-specific workflows like echocardiogram review, device data handling, or risk stratification tasks
- Understand terms, data formats, and documentation needs in outpatient cardiology
- Include examples or case studies of other cardiology clients
2. Look for EHR-Native Integration
Cardiology teams can’t afford to toggle between systems or lose time switching interfaces. The best platforms operate directly inside your EHR—whether that’s Epic, eClinicalWorks, Athena, or another system.
Ask vendors:
- Can the AI run inside my existing EHR environment?
- Do agents trigger from existing workflows like fax intake or order management?
- Will my team need to learn a new UI?
Platforms like Honey Health deliver EHR-native agents that integrate into your workflow seamlessly—no toggling, training, or disruption required.
3. Evaluate the Depth of Automation
There’s a big difference between AI that suggests and AI that executes.
Cardiology clinics need platforms that can actually do the work—like:
- Filing device data from Medtronic or iRhythm reports
- Pre-charting visits with structured summaries
- Processing referral faxes and routing to the right provider
- Submitting prior authorization forms automatically
Execution-level AI, like Honey Health’s Loop technology, removes burden instead of simply shifting it.
4. Assess Customization and Scalability
Your clinic’s workflows are unique. The right AI should adapt to them—not the other way around.
Make sure your AI platform can:
- Customize to your documentation templates and device vendors
- Support different roles—like medical assistants, billing staff, or physicians
- Scale over time with new agents and new use cases
For example, many Honey clients start with just one agent (like fax triage) and grow to over 15 agents across departments.
5. Don’t Ignore Support and Partnership
Good AI doesn’t just come with software—it comes with people.
Ask your vendors:
- Will we have a dedicated success manager?
- Do you help design workflows and train agents?
- Can we get analytics and feedback loops?
Honey Health pairs every customer with a dedicated support team that helps configure, adapt, and evolve your AI deployment continuously.
6. Compare Vendors Realistically

Conclusion
Choosing the right AI for your cardiology clinic means more than picking the flashiest demo. It’s about finding a platform that understands your workflows, integrates into your systems, and delivers value from day one.
With purpose-built agents, native EHR execution, and deep cardiology experience, Honey Health offers the most comprehensive back-office AI solution for cardiology practices ready to scale smarter, not harder.
