Value of Remote Patient Monitoring
Remote patient monitoring (RPM) is a healthcare delivery method that uses technology to enable remote communication between health workers and patients outside of a traditional clinical setting. RPM refers to the specific technology used to electronically transmit information between patients and physicians to get real-time patient health details.
Why is RPM important?
- It reduces the overall cost of medication in the long run.
- Less congestion in hospitals.
- Patients are monitored in real-time.
- Improves healthcare quality.
Digital health brings real-time patient data to the fingertips of healthcare providers. Healthcare delivery collaboration requires some research and planning to find a quality telehealth platform. Here are essential steps we could recommend for remote patient monitoring:
- Identify the need for remote patient monitoring;
- Bring a team with the right skills and expertise on board;
- Set your remote patient monitoring goals;
- Determine the RPM solution you need to get started;
- Start recruiting patients;
- Training patients and health workers;
- Select the technical support services for your system;
- Establish cooperation with a reliable technical partner;
- Evaluating the impact of the program.
The future of e-health services like remote patient monitoring is brighter than ever, and following best practices and guidelines is the key to success. According to Research and Markets, the global RPM systems market is projected to be worth over $1.7 billion by 2027, up nearly 128% from the $745.7 million opportunities the market currently represents. It will continue to rise, and technology will become more sophisticated, which means a significant growth opportunity for practices, especially if they can work with a reliable software partner like Jelvix.
