Remote physiological monitoring A.K.A. remote patient monitoring (RPM) uses HIPAA-safe electronic devices to measure and report a patient’s vital indicators of health.
Studies have shown that use of RPM reduces admissions to the hospital, results in fewer emergency department visits, longer stays in the patient home, and overall increased independence and satisfaction.
Primary Care @ Home offers RPM for selected patients who have more than one chronic illness or condition that would make hospitalization more likely.
