Remote Patient Monitoring

Remote patient monitoring (RPM) offers an early warning system to alert your staff when fragile and chronic patients require attention to prevent disease progression.  

capture data remotely and regularly to gain visibility

With ChronicCareIQ, remote physiological monitoring, (often referred to as remote patient monitoring) is easy.

Device-based and deviceless monitoring data are collated on a color-coded dashboard and alert your staff when patients are trending in the wrong direction or are symptomatic. Comprehensive objective and subjective data is the proven approach to slowing disease progression and avoiding adverse events.

Knowing when to engage the right patients reduces the burden of difficult and time-consuming activities related to many chronic conditions, improves outcomes, and sustains patient engagement — all the while automatically capturing the activities and time that are required for proper and secure reimbursements. 

The result? When your care management staff is equipped with timely patient data, and not burdened with excessive documentation, they can focus on those patients who need them the most. Both patients and providers win.

 

Benefits of Remote Patient Monitoring

  • Identify and intervene to prevent disease progression sooner
  • Prevent ED visits and hospitalizations
  • Improve quality and comply with specific MACRA quality measures
  • Increase patient satisfaction
  • Bring peace of mind to your at-risk populations

“ChronicCareIQ gives our patients better access to us, and it gives us better awareness of their conditions. We've expanded it to all physicians, expanded our care to more patients and facilities, while providing a higher quality of care across the board.”

How ChronicCareIQ Enables and Streamlines Remote Patient Monitoring

ChronicCareIQ enables RPM in multiple ways:

1-8

Directly from patients via our electronic, intuitive queries: Your enrolled patients use their smartphone, landline phone, email, or text to receive and respond to individualized queries that proactively provide your staff insights about your patients’ status. The self-reported information is displayed on a color-coded dashboard, enabling your staff to easily focus on which patients need attention. 

2-8

Directly from digital devices: Remote monitoring devices, such as blood glucose monitors, heart rate monitors, and blood pressure devices, automatically feed data to our system via a secure connection. And because we partner with multiple digital medical equipment and technology providers, we make it easy for your practice to deliver the necessary devices and support your patients.

 

When the data trends show a patient is falling outside of the clinical thresholds that have been set, your staff is alerted. These proactive alerts not only help prevent hospitalizations and costly complications, but they also reduce inbound calls, improve staff productivity, and minimize the burden for caring for your chronically ill patients.
