Product Description:

Equum Medical's Virtual Sitter Services enhance patient safety and care through continuous, remote monitoring. Designed to support hospitals facing staffing challenges and to improve patient outcomes, our virtual sitter services leverage advanced telehealth technology to provide constant observation of patients at risk of falls, self-harm, or other safety concerns.

Virtual sitters utilize high-resolution video and audio technology to monitor patients from a centralized location. This approach allows trained technicians to observe multiple patients simultaneously, providing real-time alerts to on-site nursing staff when immediate intervention is necessary. By reducing the need for in-person sitters, hospitals can optimize their resources and ensure that their staff is utilized efficiently.

The primary benefits of Equum Medical's Virtual Sitter Services include enhanced patient safety, reduced staffing costs, and improved workflow efficiency. Virtual sitters can promptly identify and respond to potential safety issues, ensuring that patients receive timely and appropriate care. This proactive approach helps to prevent falls, reduce incidents of self-harm, and mitigate other safety risks, leading to better patient outcomes and higher satisfaction rates.

Additionally, virtual sitters play a crucial role in supporting bedside nurses by handling routine monitoring tasks, allowing on-site staff to focus on more critical aspects of patient care. This collaboration fosters a safer, more efficient care environment and helps to alleviate the workload of overburdened nursing teams.

Equum Medical's Virtual Sitter Services offer a scalable, cost-effective solution to address the growing demands of modern healthcare. By integrating virtual sitters into their care models, hospitals can enhance patient safety, optimize staffing, and improve the overall quality of care provided to patients.

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.

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.
