Remote patient monitoring (RPM) is a healthcare delivery method that uses digital technologies to monitor and analyze a patient’s vitals and other health data outside of a traditional clinical setting. RPM technology electronically transmits health information between patients and physicians 

Any patient with a chronic or acute condition may receive RPM services if the provider prescribes/orders RPM and it is relevant to managing the patient’s condition.

RPM provides a range of benefits such as:

• Helps people maintain good health
• Reduces patient overall healthcare costs
• Reduces the number of hospitalizations
• Reduces the number of readmissions to hospitals and nursing homes
• Reduces the length of hospital stays
• Helps the aging maintain their independence
• Helps the aging and disabled live in their home longer; delaying the move to skilled nursing facilities, or nursing communities.
