How a Provider-tech Collab Aims to Refine Patient Monitoring

Advancements in virtual care have enabled healthcare provider organizations to improve clinical outcomes and patient and provider experience in the inpatient settings. Technologies that enable remote patient monitoring are especially effective at helping organizations achieve these goals by providing real-time insights into patient health and reducing inpatient monitoring burdens. As a result, numerous health systems are turning to RPM technology to improve inpatient care.In the last few months alone, health systems like Cleveland Clinic and Houston Methodist have expanded RPM capabilities within their hospitals. Now, Cincinnati-based Bon Secours Mercy Health joins them, signing a multiyear RPM collaboration with Philips to bring the benefits of these tools to patients across its 49 hospitals.Data shows that healthcare executives are eager to invest in RPM. A May 2023 survey of 141 executives shows that most believe RPM programs have improved patient outcomes (94%) and yielded a positive return on investment (73%).
