With the growing popularity of remote health, organizations can leverage best practices for remote patient monitoring (RPM) to create engaging healthcare programs that support physicians as well as patients. Remote patient monitoring is useful for both acute and long-term care therapies. It is most commonly used in chronic care for conditions like diabetes, COPD, and hypertension that require regular vitals monitoring. In this blog post, we’ll discuss the tips and techniques to formulate an RPM program that brings in higher engagement and outcomes. Select the Appropriate Patient Group The first step in applying best practices in RPM programs and improving them is identifying patient populations that will most benefit from RPM technology. Is your patient population a suitable fit for remote patient monitoring? is the most crucial question. This is important because RPM might not be beneficial to everyone. It is important to ascertain which patients qualify for remote patient monitoring....

Remote patient monitoring (RPM) is a popular patient monitoring service under the telemedicine that uses advanced technology to track and communicate with patients in a remote setting. It helps establish remote communications between a patient and physicians in real time to stay in sync with their health vitals and more. RPM plays a crucial role in improving patient outcomes and delivering quality care that allows healthcare professionals and physicians to respond promptly to changes in cardiac rhythm or vitals by generating health alarms. Here are some steps to follow to ensure successful integration of RPM into your existing workflow model: Decide Your Goals It's vital to keep the lines of communication open to gain support for your patient care goals. When integrating RPM into their workflows, clinicians need to focus on the following: Lowering rates of readmission  Enhancing patient outcomes by encouragement of treatment adherence  Making individualized care for patients ...

The non-face-to-face Chronic Care Management (CCM) services are provided to Medicare beneficiaries who have two or more chronic conditions that are anticipated to endure for a minimum of a year or until the patient's death. The Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS) acknowledge the importance of CCM services as foundational elements of primary care that enhance overall health and reduce health care costs. Through distant connections, CCM enables doctors and healthcare institutions to continue treating patients. Medicare will pay for the CCM program as long as patient care is rendered for at least 20 minutes each month. A patient must have two or more chronic illnesses in order to be eligible for CCM, and the doctor must disclose any chronic conditions the patient has had for the 12 months preceding to CCM participation. CPT Codes For CCM Billing The four CPT codes used to report and bill CCM services in 2024 are: CPT Code 99490 This non-complex CCM, which has a $64 reim...

In 2024, patient care is quickly evolving, and SaaS solutions for remote patient monitoring (RPM) are leading the way in the advanced virtual healthcare technology. Staying in synchronization with the most recent developments in virtual healthcare systems is essential for higher patient engagement and better outcomes, no matter whether you're thinking about switching to a new system or using RPM technology for consistent monitoring of patients. In this blog, we'll explore the major RPM trends for 2024 you need to know to improve your RPM practice and raise the standard of care you offer: 1. Cutting-Edge Wearable Technology This year, wearable technology will go well beyond simple step counters. Since they are equipped with sensors for sophisticated biometrics like skin temperature, oxygen saturation, and even stress levels, these wearables will provide a thorough picture of a patient's physiological condition. In order to enable preventive care measures, these RPM device...

Principal care management (PCM) is a model designed for patients dealing with a single chronic disease lasting three months or more. This approach is specifically tailored for individuals who have recently been hospitalized, face acute risks of death, exacerbation, functional decline, or have management needs deemed "unusually complex due to comorbidities." In PCM, the healthcare provider plays a crucial role in swiftly stabilizing the patient's condition, aiming for a timely return to their primary care provider. A qualified professional is typically involved in creating a personalized care plan, which includes an assessment of whether adjustments are necessary. These adjustments are integral to the reimbursement guidelines, as qualifying conditions are those requiring frequent modifications. Following the formulation of the care plan, the healthcare staff, supervised by a physician or qualified professional, implements it. This implementation involves thorough monitorin...
