Remote Patient

Monitoring

What is Remote Patient Monitoring?

Our team uses digital technologies to monitor your health from your home instead of the hospital. This is especially helpful for chronic disease management including blood pressure control, cardiac arrhythmias, and congestive heart failure.

Pre-programmed mobile devices, such as scales and blood pressure monitors send important health data to your doctor’s office. Our providers use this information, as well as regular verbal communication with you, to monitor your progress and detect problems early.

Using this information, Dr. Green can address changes in health status in between your regular visits and without the need for an in-person appointment. We have customized our RPM program for The Heart Center patients with the addition of our certified dietitian who will be able to meet with each and every patient to create an individualized healthy nutrition and lifestyle plan.

Studies demonstrate that RPM programs can help keep people healthy, allow older and disabled individuals to live at home longer and avoid having to move into skilled facilities. RPM can also serve to reduce the number of hospitalizations, readmissions, and lengths of stay in hospital—all of which help improve quality of life and contain costs.

Patients report that the top benefits of remote patient monitoring include the ability to have detailed information on personalized health, faster access to healthcare services, fewer trips to the doctor’s office, and greater influence on their own wellbeing through ownership of health data.

Remote patient monitoring is covered by Medicare and most commercial insurers. Please contact our office to find out more information or schedule an appointment.
