The combined approach is leading to higher provider and patient satisfaction, better care for patients most in need, and increased revenue opportunities.
For practices looking to scale their care coordination strategy, there is a long list of reasons why a combined chronic care management (CCM) and remote patient monitoring (RPM) program is a winning formula. Currently working for hundreds of practices around the country, the combined approach is leading to higher provider and patient satisfaction, better care for patients most in need, and increased revenue opportunities.
Let’s define the equation. CCM is a model of care designed to support patients with diabetes, arthritis, heart disease, and other long-term conditions. Treatment is highly collaborative and includes routine, non-face-to-face monitoring of the patient's health, medication levels, care coordination, and more.
RPM leverages technology, such as digital devices and sensors, to remotely collect and monitor a patient’s health status. Overseeing everything from vital signs to glucose levels, RPM allows patients to stay connected to their providers, and engaged in their care, from their homes.Often, RPM programs include trained medical teams that are available through a mobile app or a video chat in case the patient has questions.
Here are four of the top benefits practices can experience from a combined approach:
Other top benefits of a combined RPM and CCM approach include:
As practices face the aging patient population, ongoing staff shortages, and ongoing revenue strains, many are recognizing that a new approach to care is needed in order to continue thriving and providing optimal care to patients. A combined RPM and CCM approach can help.
While in-person office visits will always remain integral for maintaining physician-patient relationships and conducting in-depth annual evaluations, they can no longer remain a status quo. Rather, technology that facilitates ongoing RPM and CCM will empower a new paradigm of care.
