What is Remote Patient Monitoring RPM?
Our Remote Patient Monitoring program can be used to deliver healthcare services to patients regardless of their physical location or condition. Telemedicine practices have been proven by research to provide patients with better health outcomes and healthcare cost savings. Doctors can communicate with patients via Telemedicine to consult on physical and mental checkups. This helps to ensure greater medical well-being. This approach allows tailored medical examination according to a patient’s medical care plan.
Remote Patient Monitoring (a.k.a. as In-Home Telemonitoring in Texas) involves leaving automated, simple, user-friendly, vital sign monitors (blood pressure, glucometer, pulse oximeter, weight scale, etc.) in the patient’s home to monitor the patient’s health. This enables the patient and the clinicians to work together closely, coordinate care, and prevent complications and exacerbations. This also helps the patient to continue living independently in the comfort of their own home, thus avoiding unnecessary hospitalizations, nursing homes, and other forms of institutionalization.
