Lessons Learned from Early Adopters of Remote Patient Monitoring Technologies
Remote patient monitoring such as home teleheath and telemonitoring can help improve coordination, improve patients’ experience of care, and reduce hospital admissions and costs. These technologies remotely collect, track, and transmit health data from a patient’s home to a healthcare provider and can facilitate communication and help engage patients in the management of their own care. A new brief from The Commonwealth Fund offers findings from case studies of three early remote patient monitoring adopters: the Veterans Health Administration, Partners HealthCare, and Centura Health at Home.
