What is remote patient monitoring (RPM)?
Remote patient monitoring is software, services, and devices that physicians and health care providers use to manage various acute and chronic health conditions.
For example, a patient may wear a wireless device, typically in their home, that communicates electronically to their care team whether their blood pressure has increased. Once the patient’s information is collected and analyzed, their medical care provider may alter a prescription or adjust the patient’s treatment plan.
As the healthcare industry continues to navigate through exceptional challenges and never-before-seen pressures, we’re grateful for the opportunity to influence positive change and render top-quality service to patients and caregivers where and when they need it most.
For patients, this means increasing safety by reducing incidents of falls, self-harm, and suicide attempts within standard and specialized care facilities across the country.
For caregivers, it’s providing a peace of mind from a second set of trained eyes and ears plus integrated electronic medical record-keeping, so you maintain focus on what matters most: caring for patients.
