"A great challenge we have in medicine is that information comes to us from many different areas, such as Medtronic CareLink transmissions and in-office patient evaluations. Paceart allows us to integrate that information so that I always know where to look for it. Paceart is a timesaver, an incredible data management tool, and a valuable patient management tool."

- Charles Love, MD, Director Arrhythmia Device Services The Ohio State University Medical Center Columbus, Ohio

A SEAMLESS FLOW OF INFORMATION
Superb on their own. Better together. Paceart and the Medtronic CareLink Network each offer a unique way to provide optimal follow-up for arrhythmia patients with implanted cardiac devices. Connecting these technologies ensures a seamless flow of data from device to clinic and beyond.

What does this mean for you?
Integrating the Medtronic CareLink Network with Paceart streamlines clinic workflow, improves efficiency, and enhances data quality.

Automatic data transfer
Medtronic CareLink transmissions for ICDs, CRT-Ds, and pacemakers are automatically downloaded into the Paceart System nightly. Clinicians can also transfer single- or multiple-patient device data on demand for instant access. Automatic downloads may help eliminate errors related to manual data entry.

Documentation and analysis for insightful care
Paceart serves as a central hub for organizing and storing patient and device data - putting baseline ECGs, past thresholds, and trend analysis at your fingertips. Clinicians can review Medtronic CareLink transmissions along with data from programmers for more than 1,000 devices from all major manufacturers, as well as transtelephonic monitoring systems such as cardiac event recorders and pacemaker transmitters. Paceart also provides professional reporting capabilities to document both remote transmissions and in-clinic follow-up sessions.

Easy remote transmission scheduling
Use Paceart to schedule Medtronic CareLink transmissions, manage missed transmissions, and generate letters to patients.

Comprehensive correspondence
Paceart creates letters to other physicians involved in the care of Medtronic CareLink patients, easily incorporating remote device interrogation data. Paceart also can produce patient scheduling letters and appointment reminders.

Scheduling Medtronic CareLink patients
Paceart's drop-down appointment menu allows you to schedule remote device follow-ups for Medtronic CareLink patients and manage missed transmissions.
