Remote Patient Monitoring Programs on the Rise: A Closer Look at Implementation and Outcomes

🌐 As remote patient monitoring (RPM) programs gain traction in healthcare, it's essential to plan carefully and consider factors such as technology, workloads, patient handoffs, and benchmarks. RPM projects have grown exponentially since the pandemic, targeting patients with chronic conditions and those needing monitoring between doctor visits or post-hospitalization.

🔍 Health systems need to identify appropriate patients, assess their home environments, understand data collection and technology requirements, and establish protocols for interventions and monitoring durations.

📊 Successful RPM programs can lead to reduced hospitalizations, lower healthcare costs, fewer in-person visits, and improved clinical outcomes. However, health systems must be cautious in developing these programs to avoid unsustainable implementations.
