APCM Compliance & Documentation for Atrial Fibrillation

DOACs require strict adherence due to their short half-life. AI-powered calls provide consistent reminders and collect data on missed doses. If a patient reports frequent missed doses, the AI immediately alerts the clinical team to provide education or reassess the treatment plan, which is a critical component of APCM stroke prevention workflows.

For patients on warfarin, AI automation can handle the scheduling of lab tests and follow-up calls to communicate dosage adjustments. The system logs all attempts to contact the patient and their responses, providing a clear record of the practice's efforts to manage Narrow Therapeutic Index (NTI) medications, which is vital for risk management.

By analyzing patient records and conducting automated outreach, the AI identifies patients with a high stroke risk who are not currently on anticoagulation. It can facilitate a telehealth visit or an in-office appointment to discuss therapy, ensuring the practice meets the highest standards of AFib care and documentation compliance.

Documentation must reflect the patient's current strategy and their symptomatic response. AI tools can systematically ask patients about their exercise tolerance and frequency of AFib episodes. This data helps physicians decide whether to escalate from rate control to rhythm control, providing the necessary clinical evidence for care plan modifications.

Tile Healthcare’s AI uses natural language processing to convert patient descriptions of 'fluttering' or 'skipping' into structured clinical data. This information is then uploaded to the EHR, allowing electrophysiologists to see a timeline of symptoms that might indicate a need for a repeat ablation or a change in antiarrhythmic drug therapy.

Following a cardioversion, it is essential to monitor for the maintenance of sinus rhythm. Automated AI calls can check in with the patient to verify they are still feeling regular heartbeats and are adhering to their post-procedure medication regimen, ensuring that any relapse into AFib is caught and documented early.

Yes, Tile Healthcare’s AI solutions are designed to integrate with major EHR platforms. This ensures that all patient interactions, symptom reports, and medication updates are recorded directly in the patient’s chart, satisfying the documentation requirements for APCM and providing a single source of truth for the entire care team.

By providing a consistent way for patients to report symptoms, AI ensures that high-risk issues—such as signs of a TIA or uncontrolled rapid ventricular response—are immediately flagged for physician review. This proactive approach prevents hospitalizations and ensures that the practice is meeting its safety and quality obligations under APCM.

The system generates detailed reports on all patient interactions, including the duration of calls, the topics discussed, and the clinical data collected. These reports are essential for surviving a CMS audit, as they provide indisputable proof of the care management services provided to the AFib patient population.
