Adoption During the PHE
Remote patient monitoring adoption accelerated during the pandemic as patients preferred to recover at home (and minimize the risk of infection or transmission) and agencies sought to safely monitor patients throughout the episode of care.
This type of service allows a provider to continue to track healthcare data for a patient once released to home or a care facility, reducing readmission rates. Monitoring programs can also help keep people healthy, allow older and disabled individuals to live at home longer and avoid having to move into skilled nursing facilities according to the Center for Connected Health Policy.
Now, the healthcare ecosystem acknowledges that RPM is “here to stay” and many organizations are embedding virtual care into chronic disease management pathways for at-risk patients.
