But how do you actually know if an AI platform will work for your cardiology clinic?

This article breaks down what signs to look for, what questions to ask, and how to evaluate whether an AI solution is delivering on its promises—not just in theory, but in the real-world complexity of cardiology workflows.

1. Can the AI Understand Cardiology-Specific Data?

Cardiology practices deal with nuanced, high-stakes data. From pacemaker uploads and stress test reports to multi-specialist referrals and device-specific notes, the AI must be able to:

• Parse structured and unstructured clinical documentation
• Recognize device data and waveform reports
• Interpret note types unique to cardiology (e.g., EP studies, echo reports)

If the platform was trained on retail, customer service, or generalized content, it likely won’t meet the needs of your team.

2. Does It Actually Complete Tasks—Or Just Suggest?

Many platforms offer suggestions—like summarizing patient notes or offering documentation tips—but they stop short of completing tasks. In cardiology, where staff are overloaded with incoming faxes, prior auths, and refill requests, suggestions aren’t enough.

A true automation platform executes. That means it files device data, routes referrals, submits prior auths, and manages the inbox autonomously.

3. Is It Embedded in Your EHR?

The best AI for cardiology operates within your existing systems—not on top of them. Ask:

• Can it file documents or data directly in Epic, Athena, eClinicalWorks, or NextGen?
• Does it avoid double-clicking, extra screens, or toggling?
• Will your staff have to learn a new UI?

Honey Health, for example, functions entirely within your EHR, completing tasks like a team member would—with no additional friction.

4. Are Outcomes Tracked and Auditable?

AI can’t be a black box. You need visibility into:

• Which tasks were completed and when
• Why an action was taken (or not taken)
• Where escalations or manual reviews were triggered

This is especially important in cardiology, where errors in routing or interpretation can delay time-sensitive care or trigger compliance risk.

5. Can It Adapt to Your Specific Workflows?

Cardiology clinics vary widely in how they route incoming data, structure appointment types, or assign staff roles. Look for an AI platform that supports:

• Customizable task flows
• Specialty-specific templates
• Role-based agents (e.g., chart prep agent, fax intake agent)

The platform should not force your team to change your process—it should adapt to you.

6. Do Users Actually Use It?

Adoption is one of the clearest indicators of success. If the AI platform requires constant supervision, workarounds, or retraining, it’s not delivering real value.

Survey your staff after implementation:

• Are they saving time on high-volume tasks?
• Do they trust the AI’s actions and recommendations?
• Are error rates going down?

7. Are You Seeing ROI Within 60–90 Days?

AI doesn’t need to take a year to show value. Look for early signals:

• Reduction in prior auth backlogs
• Fewer missed faxes or delayed referrals
• More time available for patient-facing tasks

Honey Health clinics often see ROI in under 60 days due to fast implementation, specialty alignment, and measurable impact on staffing needs and throughput.

Conclusion: Proof, Not Promises

Cardiology practices are busy, resource-constrained, and under pressure to scale. The right AI solution must deliver results—not in demos, but in the day-to-day reality of your clinic.

Choose platforms that prove their value quickly, support your specific workflows, and integrate deeply into your existing infrastructure.

Want to see what that looks like? Ask for a side-by-side comparison or a short pilot. The right partner won’t just promise results—they’ll show them.
