As busy, practicing healthcare providers, we are always looking for new avenues to help us deliver better care to our patients and our patients are always looking for ways to be healthier in the long run. Remote patient monitoring achieves this goal with great success.
About the Author
Dr. Jeffrey Hyman, one of the Chief Medical Officers at CompuGroup Medical, completed his internship and residency at the Maimonides Medical Center in Brooklyn, New York, in 1984. He started one of the first walk-in, no-appointment-needed primary care offices in the area and focuses on primary care and preventive health.
What are the benefits of remote patient monitoring?
Remote patient monitoring (RPM) is a healthcare delivery method that uses digital technology to collect patients' health data outside traditional clinical settings—often from their homes—and securely transmits that data to healthcare providers for assessment and guidance.
CGM is very excited about being able to offer devices that will allow clinicians to track key health metrics like blood pressure and blood sugar levels, in real-time and over extended periods, enabling more proactive and personalized care.
For patients, RPM can improve convenience and access to care, reduce unnecessary doctor visits, and promote better management of chronic conditions through continuous feedback and early intervention. This can lead to improved health outcomes and a greater sense of engagement in their care.
Boosting quality with remote patient monitoring
Another very important aspect of RPM is improvement of your quality measures.
Controlling high blood pressure is a measure used by all of us—and we need to achieve a BP of under 140/90 by the end of the calendar year. With RPM, the recorded data is ACCEPTABLE data and may be entered into your quality scores numerator. This has been shown to improve scores.
