Why use remote patient monitoring?

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.

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. 

With ARIA Population Health, CompuGroup Medical now offers two RPM service models that give clinicians real-time visibility into key health metrics like blood pressure and blood sugar levels—enabling more proactive, 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.

For physicians, RPM offers valuable insights into patients' daily health trends, helping them make more informed decisions and intervene earlier if issues arise. It enhances workflow efficiency and may reduce hospital readmissions, ultimately contributing to more effective, data-driven care. And it brings in a source of new revenue for practicing health care providers.

This service from CGM will boost net patient revenue and help patients see how they are responding to medications and see their own trends in their own clinical data.

ARIA Population Health makes it straightforward to implement an effective RPM program. With RPM Complete, our team takes care of:

• Patient enrollment and consent
• Device procurement, configuration, and direct shipment to patients
• Ongoing patient monitoring and outreach by phone and SMS
• Custom threshold configuration with your practice to trigger alerts for abnormal readings

Alternatively, practices can choose RPM Essentials to manage patient engagement directly. This service tier provides the devices, monitoring platform, clinical protocols, and nurse QA oversight—with your team leading enrollment, outreach, and billing.
