Remote Monitoring (RPM) buyer’s guide

Remote patient monitoring (RPM) is the ability for patients to share biometric and other data from a non-clinical setting, like their home, with their care team as part of a provider-supported program of care. Populations who most benefit from RPM are patients with uncontrolled chronic conditions such as hypertension, congestive heart failure, and diabetes; seniors with multiple and complex conditions; and patients with a rising risk of the conditions listed above.

Remote Monitoring (RPM): Buyer’s Guide

What is remote patient monitoring?

When implemented well, remote monitoring can have a profound impact on both patients and providers. By removing the need for patients to go to a physical hospital or outpatient facility for routine monitoring, it makes it easier for them to receive the care they need, when they need it, improving their adherence to a care plan and helping them be more engaged in self-care. RPM can also enable the care team to operate more efficiently by enabling lower-licensed members of the care team to monitor incoming data and escalate issues to physicians as needed.

Remote patient monitoring can be used for a variety of clinical activities, but the top two use cases are:

Post-hospitalization recovery: Care plan adherence, condition surveillance, wound/pain management, education, clinical interventions, rehab to prevent readmission

Ambulatory/Primary care management: Monitoring biometric data, medications, and symptoms; providing education and coaching to prevent unnecessary hospital utilization

The case for remote patient monitoring

Creating a remote patient monitoring strategy should start with the questions: “What problem are we trying to solve, and what is the value to be gained for our patients and our business?” Your RPM service can power up several benefits to multiple stakeholders. For health systems that operate under a fee-for-service model or are shifting to a fee-forvalue model, remote patient monitoring offers unique and substantial benefits, from increasing capacity and driving revenue to increasing opportunities for shared savings or reducing the risk of penalties associated with avoidable utilization.

Fee-for-service

Health systems primarily using a fee-for-service model are finding significant value in remote patient monitoring due to improved patient experience and increased revenue when implemented at scale. RPM allows patients to have a stronger connection to their care team, driving satisfaction and loyalty, while new reimbursements for RPM services can enhance margin. A number of research studies have demonstrated patient satisfaction in the ninetieth percentile, as indicated by likelihood to recommend and user friendliness. From a direct reimbursement lens, it’s estimated that the total monthly reimbursement for RPM is up to $120 per Medicare beneficiary.

Fee-for-value

Health systems that are making the move to fee-for-value are increasingly looking to RPM to help them reduce costs and support people’s best health, using real-time data to prevent or slow disease progression and avoidable utilization. These systems - and their patients - are seeing value in RPM due to improved clinical outcomes and quality of life, reduced readmissions and avoidable ED visits, and increased use of primary care services. Studies from Mayo Clinic, Kaiser Permanente, Veterans Health Administration, and members of the AVIA Network, such as Froedtert & The Medical College of Wisconsin, report reduced hospitalizations and shorter lengths of stay when hospitalized. Many health systems operating with more value-based arrangements have been experimenting with a wide variety of RPM capabilities, either during COVID-19 or before. These early adopters are now looking to build an integrated, enterprise-wide RPM strategy to scale what’s working with greater efficiency and impact.

At Geisinger, we have experience within the RPM ecosystem, including using connected device and deviceless monitoring for many years. As the next step towards building comprehensive hybrid care models, we are developing a robust, enterprise-wide RPM strategy using a framework that will support the people, process, and the technology. Geisinger aims to scale our RPM operations, onboard modern technologies, and increase patient-member engagement strategies to gain timely insight of our patient’s health and aid in delivering personalized interventions.

What good looks like in remote patient monitoring

Beyond device enablement

FDA-approved medical devices such as connected blood pressure cuffs and glucometers are an essential part of remote patient monitoring, but many of the leading solutions offer more extensive capabilities, including:

Multimodal data collection, including connected biometric data feeds as well as patient reported outcomes
Configurable alerts to trigger interventions and virtual visits
Engaging patient education and intelligent virtual coaching
Integrations with EHRs, call systems, physician ordering solutions, and other technologies to simplify enrollment, billing, and evaluation
Analytics, such as intuitive dashboards, automated care plans, and other clinical decision supports.

“For several years, Presbyterian Healthcare has operated a program of home-based care for its most frail Medicare Advantage members. We are always looking for ways to improve the outcomes of that program and turned to the idea of remote monitoring, adding to the extensive in-person services currently offered. "Our goals when looking at RPM solutions were to provide our patients and their families an easy 'one button' method to contact our team, and for our team to contact them. We also wanted the ability to understand our patients’ daily needs and receive alerts that might indicate a change in condition, as well as frequently monitor and contact them when they are in transition between care settings. Finally, we wanted tools, like stethoscope and otoscope capabilities, that could serve as ‘eyes and ears’ for our physicians.”

"Thanks to AVIA’s help, we found a vendor that fits these needs and more, with our pilot launching now. We anticipate being able to expand the population served significantly with the efficiencies from our new program.”

Consultant, Center to Advance Palliative Care and former Medical Director, Clinical Transformation, Population Health at Presbyterian Healthcare Services.

Finding the right remote monitoring solutions

When searching for remote patient monitoring solutions, health systems have three primary options based on their strategic priorities, population health challenges, technology gaps, and operational opportunities:

Non-connected solutions rely on devices provided by payers or health systems to collect data and promote patient engagement, using text and interactive voice response (IVR) as the engagement mechanism. These cost-effective solutions cater to a broader patient base, including those with limited technology access or literacy. Offering dozens of care pathways and education libraries, they are especially advantageous for managing larger, rising risk populations. These solutions are typically used in a fee-for-value environment due to the program economics and early days in using the new CMS Remote Therapeutic Monitoring reimbursement. Some clinicians are not as comfortable relying on patient reported outcomes as compared to data collected through connected devices, but that position is modifying as experience, and results, grows

Condition-specific solutions offer in-depth content and features with focused devices for one single condition or episode of care, including perinatal, orthopedic, and pulmonary patients. These solutions are highly engaging for a critical period of time, increasing patient satisfaction and loyalty, though they are more difficult to scale to other use cases.

Connected solutions offer a high-touch, high-tech platform for the greatest number of use cases. They typically offer a wide variety of hardware, including preferred devices, robust patient- and provider-facing software, and optional logistics and/or clinical services. The best solutions offer an equitable patient experience to support non-English speaking patients, and others with limited literacy, cognitive, and/or functional difficulties. The major benefit of these tools is their flexibility although these solutions may require a heftier investment and a targeted approach for focused deployment.

There’s a strong business case to be made for implementing a remote monitoring system, both in fee-for-service and fee-for-value environments. Outside of that, we routinely hear from our health system members that they want to do what’s right for patients and provide the highest level of care, even after patients leave the four walls of the hospital.
