Are you like millions of people who only go to the doctor when they have to? Going to the doctor's office keeps its place among the least favorite activities in society. So, how can providers continue giving their patients the highest quality of care—even the most hesitant among them?
It’s no surprise that the tech-savvy healthcare community has been working on ways to accommodate hesitant patients and chronic care patients. Many practices have integrated telehealth and remote patient monitoring into their standard care model, extending their reach and improving outcomes for patients with chronic conditions.
Telehealth can bridge the gap for some visit types. However, providers often require access to real-time health data that is not available via telehealth’s audio and visual checks (such as patient blood pressure, blood glucose levels, and more).
That’s why providers need to have a correlative remote patient monitoring (RPM) solution available that patients can use in tandem with a HIPAA-compliant telehealth solution.
In combination with a HIPAA-compliant telehealth solution (including the stand-alone CGM ELVI or the Patient Connect option for CGM APRIMA), remote patient monitoring allows for the constant monitoring of patient biometric data. With remote patient monitoring, healthcare workers have a steady stream of patient data that they can use to spot potential problems at their source and identify any relevant patterns in patient data. They can use their real-time findings to address issues much more quickly and generate more effective, data-driven treatment plans.
With remote monitoring, doctors can more easily access data that would otherwise be unavailable to them through periodic in-person check-ups. Data gathered via a patient’s comprehensive healthcare-at-home solution is also a critical factor in reducing re-hospitalizations. Healthcare workers can use this data to manage patients earlier in the continuum of care, allowing them to intervene and preventing re-admittance.
According to a 2025 report from the Health Resources & Services Administration, 7.2% of U.S. counties have no primary care physician at all. The shortage is felt most acutely in rural areas and underserved urban communities.
With remote patient monitoring, nurses and doctors can provide care for patients outside of their traditional jurisdiction. Additionally, RPM allows doctors to reach out to potential patients they wouldn’t be able to reach traditionally. With the flexibility that RPM gives providers and the expansion of the area they can cover, medical establishments will gain more patients—and ultimately more revenue from those patients—without overcrowding facilities.
Offering healthcare at home benefits patients who have difficulty traveling to a clinic or hospital—whether due to mobility limitations, distance, or the demands of managing a chronic condition. With RPM and telehealth working together, these patients can stay connected to their care team without the burden of frequent in-person visits.
If a patient has a chronic condition such as diabetes, heart disease, or liver disease, providers need to make sure their patient stays stable and healthy. Patients don't have to wait to see their providers in person. Instead, they can use a HIPAA-certified, live audio and visual solution—such as CGM ELVI—alongside cellular-connected RPM devices such as blood pressure cuffs, glucometers, and digital scales to keep a continuous record of their health status.
Keeping track of patients to address and resolve potential health concerns before they exceed predetermined thresholds and develop into more severe issues improves patients’ quality of care.
If something goes wrong—such as the patient forgetting to take their medication—or if they have a question about their care plan, they can quickly consult with their physician via a secure telemedicine platform instead of waiting for an in-person consultation.
Patients save both time and money with RPM. With a complete healthcare-at-home solution, patients don’t need to go to a clinic for a prescription or ask their physician about tests results. Instead, patients can use their provider’s telehealth solution to immediately check in with their provider about any concerns they may have. Not only will this assure them that someone is watching out for their health, but this will save them the time and money that they would typically spend traveling to their physician.
Providers will also save time and money. Re-admitting chronic care patients put a strain on a practice’s resources. With RPM, high-risk patients can receive care at home instead of taking up the healthcare facility resources. Not only will this allow high-risk patients to avoid infection, but it will also save the healthcare facility costs associated with having a patient in a bed. Time spent re-admitting patients continually will be reduced, costs related to having patients re-admitted will decline, and staff resources allocated to care for re-admitted patients are focused elsewhere.
RPM can help to save lives as well. Because chronic care patients and non-emergent patients can use remote patient monitoring and telehealth to check in with their providers, the number of unnecessary hospital visits will decrease.
Providers should consider implementing this technology to reduce costs and improve patient outcomes.
