Remote Patient Monitoring

Patients collect bio-metric data remotely & data is electronically transmitted for review. Patient bio-metric data includes: Weight Blood Pressure Heart Rate Pulse Oximetry Glucometer Patients with chronic condition(s).

RPM Use Case Goals

Hospital & Health Systems Reduce < 30-day hospital readmissions Reduce ED usage Lower health care costs Decompress hospitals during Pandemic Home Health Reduce < 30-day hospital readmissions Increase revenue by including RPM in annual cost report Nursing Homes Reduce < 30-day hospital readmissions Reduce ambulance transfers

Patient Identification, Enrollment, & Referral Workflow

Who is the best person(s) to identify patients? Who is the best person to meet/call the patient and explain the program and obtain verbal consent? Who is the best person to refer the patient? Who is the best person to enter patient information into RPM software? Who is the best person to identify devices needed?

Patient Installation & Education Workflow

Patient Installation & Education Workflow Obtain written authorization Provide educational sheet on proper data collection technique Demonstrate how to use devices Patient collects 2 sets of readings per device Patient signs Competency Validation Form

Alert Review, Assessment, & Education Workflow

Monitor bio-metric data M-F Respond to alerts: With-in 4 hours or next business day Call patients with alerts Validate accuracy of alerts If alert is not accurate: Instruct patient on device technique Instruct patient to recheck readings

slide-19

Alert Review, Assessment, & Education Workflow

When alerts are valid, a RN will: Conduct a nursing assessment Utilize “See Feel Change” Methodology to create long- term behavior change Provide patient education: Nutrition Medications Activity Symptom Management Escalate useful actionable data Document each encounter
