How Houston Methodist is scaling inpatient RPM across its hospitals
Remote patient monitoring (RPM) enables healthcare providers to track patient data remotely between clinic visits, bolstering outpatient care, such as remote chronic disease management. However, outpatient care isn’t the only area where RPM has made a difference. Some health systems, like Houston Methodist, are deploying RPM tools inside its hospitals to ease inpatient monitoring burdens.Research shows that healthcare executives see the value in RPM. One 2023 survey revealed that 73 percent of healthcare executives said their organizations’ RPM programs have yielded a positive return on investment (ROI). The survey, which polled 141 healthcare executives, also shows that 46 percent of respondents expected to increase their RPM budget in 2024, and another 46 percent expected to maintain their current budget.
