The Unexpected Benefits Of Telehealth, Remote Patient Monitoring In Home-Based Care

Senior care leaders are increasingly embracing telehealth and remote patient monitoring to elevate clinical outcomes and boost patient engagement. They recognize the dual benefits of virtual care, not only as a means of improving clinical outcomes but also as a tool for marketing and staff retention. Matthew Fenley, Chief Business Development Officer at the Allure Group, noted that staff members appreciate investments in advanced technology, which in turn enhances workplace satisfaction. The Allure Group, based in New York, integrated telemedicine in 2019, resulting in lower readmission rates and enhanced pandemic preparedness. Increased staff confidence led to a reduction in unnecessary 911 calls, ultimately improving patient care. In parallel, home-based care providers like Best Life Brands are adopting hybrid approaches that incorporate technology, addressing the diverse needs of older adults while strengthening relationships and bridging care gaps. This transformative shift towards virtual care signifies a promising evolution in senior care practices.
