Remote patient monitoring is used by preventive care service providers to manage the health of high-risk patients, keep an eye on patients after discharge, look out for patients at high risk for hospital readmissions, and promote the adoption of value-based care. How RPM helps in providing preventive care? Let’s find out.
How Remote Patient Monitoring Helps in Offering Preventive Care?
RPM has made it simpler for patients to participate in activities that they previously found difficult, such as regular follow-ups with their clinical teams and keeping up with difficult treatment regimens. But these are not just the only reason. Here are five other ways that RPM enhances preventive care of patients:
1. Convenient Access
Patients living in remote areas do not have access to the best doctors and cutting-edge treatments since they are geographically isolated and only a tiny percentage of patients who live close to hospitals can get it. RPM thus uses technology to overcome geographical barriers and give such patients access to the same high-quality care as patients in cities.
2. Real-Time Data-Collection Promotes Timely Care
Remote patient monitoring improves patient health by delivering real-time health data information to healthcare practitioners. In case of any unusual readings, they can alert patients and their relatives and provide preventive care in time.
3. Enhances Communication
Effective communication is the key to providing healthcare services. With RPM, patients and practitioners can build trusting relationships and improve communication between them. When there is communication, the patients feel that the medical staff actually cares about their health progress.
4. Improves Patient Support
Patients who need the right healthcare support can get it through remote patient monitoring. RPM provides the push that most patients need to maintain or enhance their health and prevent expensive hospitalization costs.
5. Lowers Access Barriers
Making frequent visits to the doctor can be a tremendous task or a hurdle for some patients. RPM can be the right solution for such patients as it is an effective means for addressing their chronic care needs wherever they are.
