Do Remote Patient Monitoring Programs Work?
Remote patient monitoring (RPM) programs have the potential to reduce chronic care costs and hospital readmissions, as well as improve clinical outcomes. By moving care out of the hospital or doctor’s office and into the home, RPM programs can help patients manage their conditions more effectively. There is growing evidence that RPM programs can improve clinical outcomes and reduce healthcare costs.
REDUCE Readmission Rates FOr Heart Failure
A health plan provider has used RPM to reduce the risk of all-cause readmission for their Medicare Advantage members by 77%.
Fewer Hospitalizations for Diabetes Patients
A VHA study found hospitalizations due to diabetes were reduced by 50% after using RPM for one year.
Very High Patient Satisfaction
A health insurance provider achieved a patient satisfaction rating of 94-97% in another case study.
How do Remote Patient Monitoring Programs Work?
Data Collection
Most RPM programs focus on the collection of patient-generated health data from the home, through devices and mobile health platforms that connect to the primary care provider or care team. That data can either be collected and sent by the patient or gathered by connected devices and sent to the provider without the patient’s participation.
Monitored conditions
RPM programs can be used to monitor a variety of chronic conditions, including heart disease, diabetes, and respiratory diseases. By providing real-time data on patients’ health status, RPM programs can help clinicians make more informed decisions about their care. In addition, RPM programs can help identify potential problems early on and prevent them from becoming more serious.
