How Can Patients Monitor Diabetes Without Extra Clinic Visits?

In-person visits, while sometimes necessary, can feel burdensome for patients with diabetes due to the ongoing commitment the condition requires. Imagine if patients had the option to check their blood sugar levels at home. In this case, remote patient monitoring (RPM) offers a solution.HealthArc offers an RPM platform that improves connection and proactive engagement and reduces disruption in diabetes management for both patients and providers.

What Is Diabetes Remote Patient Monitoring?

RemotePatient Monitoring Diabetes RPM consists of using blood glucose meters that interface with the RPM system, which automatically captures and sends data to the relevant healthcare practitioners. With RPM technologies, healthcare providers can seamlessly track glucose levels from patients’ homes, rather than waiting for the next office visit. The benefits RPM offers include the following:

l  Prompt and efficient reactions to irregularities in blood sugar levels.

l  Reduced in-person visits with ongoing support, supervision, and care.

l  Improved levels of patient participation with the healthcare system through virtual engagements.

l  RPM changes the diabetes care approach from being reactive to proactively thinking ahead for both the patient and the healthcare provider.

Why Should Providers Implement RPM for Diabetes Management?

As for any chronic disease, remote patient monitoring (RPM) is indispensable in the current healthcare framework. Here are the reasons:

l  Enhanced outcomes. Continuous monitoring eliminates the possibility of experiencing severe hypo- or hyperglycemic events.

l  Enhanced patient retention. Regular virtual check-ins encourage continual patient engagement.

l  Enhanced streamlined processes. We more efficiently balance active clinic check-ups and routine follow-ups.

l   Engaged patients now occupy specific times set aside for in-depth interactions.

l  Financially sustainable solutions. RPM can be reimbursed under Medicare and with many private insurers making this practice financially sustainable.

For providers, adopting HealthArc’s RPM platform means enhanced coordination of care, increased satisfaction, and efficient patient flow: the clinical operations of the practice run smoothly.
