Reimbursements and EHR integrations are high priorities for RPM

RPM has demonstrated earlier intervention and reduced utilization – particularly critical outcomes for value-based care arrangements – but healthcare organizations that are piloting the technology are looking at reimbursements, integrations with EHRs and monitoring devices and staffing needs, according to the new Remote Patient Monitoring 2023 report from the KLAS Arch Collaborative. The use of RPM is increasing as healthcare organizations struggle with staffing shortages and increased patient loads. “This digital health tool and secondary care team lessens the pain of staffing shortages to care for current patients and increases the bandwidth of existing resources who then hold the capacity for adding new patients.” Hospitals are also using RPM to get ahead. Our digital footprint all of a sudden expanded from more of a passive monitoring program to monitoring plus intervention.
