With heart disease remaining the leading cause of death in the U.S., the demand for cardiology services has never been higher. Yet clinics are struggling to recruit and retain enough staff to meet this demand.
As the gap between need and capacity grows, clinics are turning to artificial intelligence (AI)—specifically, AI co-workers—to fill the void. These digital teammates help manage the rising volume of administrative tasks without adding headcount.
Why Volumes Are Rising
- Aging population with higher rates of chronic heart conditions
- More referrals from PCPs and urgent care settings
- Expanded use of remote monitoring (e.g., Holters, pacemakers, loop recorders)
- Stricter documentation and prior auth requirements from payers
All of this increases the non-clinical workload—fax triage, charting, intake, data review—and makes it harder for staff to focus on care.
The Workforce Shortage
According to the AAMC, the U.S. will face a shortage of up to 124,000 physicians by 2034. Cardiology is among the specialties most affected, with increasing difficulty hiring MAs, nurses, techs, and support staff.
Clinics need a scalable solution that allows them to handle more volume—without burning out their teams or hiring at unsustainable rates.
AI Co-Workers in Action
AI co-workers aren’t passive tools. They complete tasks—just like human teammates. Here’s how they help manage rising volumes:
- Fax Inbox Management: AI scans, categorizes, and routes inbound faxes with no manual sorting
- Referral Intake: AI extracts relevant info, preps the chart, and flags incomplete referrals
- Device Data Filing: AI files ECG, Holter, or pacemaker reports into the correct section of the EHR
- Pre-Visit Chart Prep: AI gathers labs, notes, and imaging ahead of the visit
- Prescription Refill Automation: AI handles refill requests, checks records, and queues them for sign-off
Each of these agents operates independently and continuously, freeing up time for overburdened staff.
Impact on Cardiology Practices
Cardiology clinics that deploy AI co-workers are seeing measurable gains:
- 30–50% reduction in admin burden per staff member
- Faster referral turnaround times (from 3 days to 1)
- Fewer missed faxes or delayed prior auths
- Greater patient throughput without extra staffing
AI doesn’t just plug gaps—it creates elastic capacity that expands as demand grows.
Why Honey Health Is Built for This
Honey Health offers a cardiology-ready AI platform that integrates directly into your EHR and works across pre-visit, intra-visit, and post-visit workflows. Our AI agents are trained on millions of faxes, charts, and care protocols to execute with high precision.
Unlike tools that merely suggest or summarize, Honey’s agents complete work—securely, reliably, and in real time.
Conclusion: Meet Demand Without Exhausting Your Team
AI co-workers are helping cardiology practices rise to the challenge of increased volumes and workforce shortages. Instead of drowning in paperwork, clinics are streamlining operations and improving throughput—without compromising care quality.
With platforms like Honey Health, clinics are proving that scaling doesn’t require more people—it requires smarter infrastructure.
