Healthcare organizations embracing RPM technology — such as that offered by the Checkpoint Health platform. It bridges the barrier of access by providing care to patients where they are and when they need it while reducing unnecessary office visits.

RPM empowers patients to take responsibility for their own healthcare. RPM is a fantastic patient engagement strategy as it provides the patient with tools to assist them in understanding their health. When a patient understands their condition, their unique care plan, and what their responsibility is in bettering their health, they’re more likely to experience positive health outcomes.

RPM increases the efficiency of healthcare workflows. RPM can facilitate faster prioritization of care delivery, case triage, and improved communication by gathering, preserving, and utilizing patient data to improve medical decision-making. RPM helps improve performance and increase patient satisfaction.

The benefits of RPM go beyond patient comfort and engagement, offering patients invaluable assurance that someone is watching out for their health and well-being on a daily basis.

Remote patient monitoring has demonstrated a significant impact in reducing potentially avoidable ED utilization as well as a reduction in unnecessary hospital admissions and readmission. It also enables the movement of appropriate levels of acute care and chronic care monitoring into the home, reducing the high costs of inpatient services.

Thanks to RPM’s continuous, instantaneous connection between patients and their caregivers, RPM also provides patients with expanded levels of education, support, and feedback, as compared to traditional models of healthcare.

RPM allows patients to be monitored at home when they need medical attention but don’t need to be hospitalized. Health status is captured from the patient’s home using equipment like — a Blood Pressure Monitor, Pulse Oximeter, Glucose Monitor, Thermometer, and Digital Scale — and updated to the Checkpoint Health platform, providing essential patient health data to improve clinical decision-making when clinicians adjust and optimize treatments.
