Product Description:

Hospitals often struggle with managing patient care in the emergency department (ED) due to overcrowding, long wait times, and staffing shortages. Providing specialized care is particularly challenging, as it demands access to specialized equipment, expertise, and diagnostic testing. Equum Medical addresses these issues through its comprehensive Tele-MultiSpecialty Services, which include Cardiology, Nephrology, Infectious Disease, Pulmonology, and more.

Equum Medical's multi-specialty physician team offers remote consultations with specialists, facilitating prompt diagnosis and treatment. Services such as Tele-Cardiology and Tele-Infectious Disease enable ED and inpatient staff to access expert guidance without the need for unnecessary transfers or delays in care. This remote specialist support ensures that patients receive timely, accurate diagnoses and treatments, improving patient outcomes and reducing the burden on local healthcare providers.

Our Tele-MultiSpecialty Services help standardize care protocols, which further enhances the quality of care and operational efficiency.

Product Capabilities

Rimidi integrates with a broad portfolio of medical devices, including cellular glucometers, blood pressure cuffs, scales, and pulse oximeters. Rimidi integrates with leading Continuous Glucose Monitors, including FreeStyle Libre, Dexcom, and Eversense. In addition, Rimidi integrates with Adherium's Hailie® Smartinhaler®.

Rimidi's clinical decision support engine drives clinical insights and actions from RPM alerts to guideline and protocol adherence.

Rimidi supports two-way text messaging between the patient and the care team.

Cellular-enabled devices are easy-to-use and do not require the patient to have access to home WiFi or even a smart phone. Rimidi supports texting a patient in their native language, and our clinical monitoring staff can support multilingual needs.

Rimidi has ready-to-use care plan templates that can be customized for use in CCM or other disease management initiatives.

The Rimidi platform most often operates as a Single Sign On (“SSO”) to the provider’s EHR, either through SMART on FHIR or Security Assertion Markup Language (SAML) depending on the EHR. Rimidi has established integrations with most major EHRs, including eClinicalWorks, Epic, OCHIN, Oracle Cerner, Veradigm, athenahealth, and Meditech. Integrations enable Rimidi to pull relevant clinical data into the platform to support gap in care closure and provide robust disease context next to the RPM data. In addition, Rimidi can write back documents (RPM summaries, care plans, etc.) or support HL7 workflows for discrete data write back.

Platform Support: Rimidi has a Client Success team that is dedicated to our customers from program design through implementation that continues for the life of the engagement. Your Client Success Manager (CSM) will come onsite for training and provide additional virtual training sessions as needed. Your CSM and support staff are engaged with you through all aspects of the program, including the set-up of the Rimidi platform, EHR integration, user training, and connecting devices. Care Management Support: Rimidi provides clinical monitoring for many of our clients who want to supplement their current staff or to avoid dedicating in-house staff to new programs considering hiring and staffing challenges. The monitoring staff can include health coaches, registered nurses (RNs), advanced practice providers (APPs), and medical doctors (MDs) depending on the client’s program structure and staffing needs. All monitoring staff carry appropriate state licensures and can support multiple languages as needed. With the efficiency that the Rimidi platform delivers, one clinical user can manage approximately 250 patients.

Use Cases

Description:

Equum Medical's Tele-ED services provide critical support to emergency departments (ED) through telehealth technology, enabling remote consultations and management of patients. This service aims to alleviate overcrowding, reduce wait times, and provide timely access to specialist care, thereby improving patient outcomes and operational efficiency in the ED.

Use Case 1: Managing Overcrowding and Reducing Wait Times

  • Problem Statement: Emergency departments often face overcrowding and long wait times, which can lead to patient dissatisfaction, delayed care, and increased stress on healthcare staff.
  • Solution: Equum Medical's Tele-ED services enable remote consultations with emergency medicine specialists who can quickly assess and triage patients. By utilizing telehealth technology, patients can be evaluated and managed more efficiently, freeing up ED resources and reducing wait times.

Key Features:

  • Remote Triage and Assessment: Patients can be remotely assessed by specialists, determining the urgency of their condition and prioritizing care accordingly.

  • Real-Time Decision Support: Access to remote specialists ensures that complex cases receive timely and accurate diagnoses and treatment plans.

Use Case 2: Enhancing Access to Specialist Care

  • Problem Statement: Rural and smaller hospitals often lack access to specialized care, requiring patients to be transferred to larger facilities, which can delay treatment and increase costs.
  • Solution: Tele-ED services provide immediate access to a network of specialists, including cardiologists, nephrologists and infectious disease experts. This enables hospitals to offer a broader range of services without the need for on-site specialists.

Key Features:

  • Specialist Access: Remote consultations with specialists who can diagnose and recommend treatments for complex conditions.
  • Seamless Integration: Tele-ED services are integrated into the hospital's existing systems, ensuring smooth communication and coordination of care.

Use Case 3: Supporting ED Staff and Reducing Burnout

  • Problem Statement: ED staff often experience high levels of stress and burnout due to the demanding nature of emergency care, especially during peak times and in high-acuity situations.
  • Solution: Tele-ED services support ED staff by providing access to remote specialists who can assist with patient management, share the workload, and offer expert advice. This reduces the burden on on-site staff and helps prevent burnout.

Key Features:

  • 24/7 Support: Continuous access to remote specialists who can provide consultations and support at any time.
  • Workload Distribution: Tele-ED services help distribute the workload more evenly, allowing on-site staff to focus on direct patient care.

Executives

Description:
  • A fully-capitated provider needs a better way to manage their highest risk patients to reduce hospital utilization and improve quality measures. Their centralized disease management team uses Rimidi to monitor weight and pulse oximetry in heart failure patients, CGM or BGM data in diabetes patients, and inhalation quality in their Asthma patients.
  • A physician practice wants to increase practice revenue while taking better care of their patients. They work with Rimidi's care management team to enroll appropriate patients in RPM and CCM programs, and document the clinical and billlable activities within Rimidi. 
  • A physician sees a patient with poorly controlled diabetes in the office and is prompted in the Rimidi diabetes view to enroll the patient in remote monitoring and to consider a therapy adjustment to optimize cardiovascular risk reduction. The physician creates a dynamic care plan with each encounter that posts back to their EMR. The physician reviews the patient’s home glucose readings one week after therapy adjustment to ensure adequate control.
  • A patient uses the connected glucometer provided by the practice. She can see whether she is in her target range, and text with her care team in response to her data. 
  • A care coordinator monitors a clinic’s patients with diabetes, heart failure or hypertension remotely, addressing alerts configured for the clinic and ensuring that they are meeting clinical guidelines and helping to avoid costly admissions and readmissions. Documentation for RPM and CCM activity is done in the Rimidi app and aggregate for billing purposes.

Differentiators vs EHR Functionality:

In the sales process, we often hear “Doesn’t Epic (or other EHR) do that?” Rimidi is not built to replace the EHR, but to enhance it by bringing in additional data sets, providing more efficient workflows, and improving the user experience. Rimidi can install and configure its platform within 3-6 weeks which is significantly faster and more cost effective than onsite EHR teams can build and support enhancements to meet clinical needs. Rimidi’s modern technology stack enables rapid cycle innovation and iteration post-go live.

Differentiators vs Competitors:

Rimidi’s cardiometabolic platform is most often compared to other Remote Patient Monitoring solutions, but the platform-approach to RPM allows Rimidi to do so much more. Some key differentiators of the Rimidi platform are: (1) tight integration with leading EHRs via SMART on FHIR, (2) the breadth of the comorbid disease states we cover, (3) our incorporations of patient-reported outcomes and social determinants of health measures and (4) our Clinical Decision Support engine. Rimidi’s CDS cards support almost any insight or intervention a client wants: RPM data alerting and interventions, referral management, lab or medication recommendations, clinical trial identification, and more.
