The Future of Remote Patient Monitoring

In the wake of the global pandemic, healthcare consumers spend a massive amount of time in their homes. Remote patient monitoring presents a huge opportunity where patients can get quality care at the safety and comfort of their homes without physically being present at the doctor’s office for every visit. Wearables, Artificial Intelligence (AI) technologies including Machine Learning (ML), Deep Learning (DL) and IoT-enabled devices play a significant role in real-time tracking and monitoring of patients’ health status, gathering intuitive health insights, providing immediate notifications for timely interventions and actions—based on their health status and auto-generated reports.

Patient Reported Outcomes (PRO), Patient Generated Health Data (PGHD), Electronic Health Records (EHR) are seamlessly integrated into patient engagement platforms to deliver superior Patient Experiences (PX), while accelerating health outcomes and mitigating costs at scale. Here's how to plan an efficient remote patient monitoring program.

• 1. Build your Team.
  Your Remote Patient Monitoring team needs to have the right blend of goal-oriented and experienced team including the Physicians, technologists, SMEs, PhDs, Project managers who can seamlessly work together to deliver on the program goals. Have a common goal and get the buy in from the key stakeholders on the program benefits and how it can have a sustainable impact on the overall digital transformation journey of the organization.
• 2. Establish the Goals and Metrics.
  Define the goals and objectives and the key metrics that will determine the success of the program. Does the program involve patient education? What are the patient engagement strategies? What are the key goals? For example, should it reduce readmissions, improve hospital reimbursements, improve Patient Satisfaction Index (PSI) by a certain percentage? Does it include the pre, during & post-surgical care coordination plan?
• 3. Develop the Program Onboarding Process.
  Define the key processes involved in patient enrolment. For instance, does the patient need to be added to the Remote Patient Monitoring platform? What are the steps involved in patient enrolment? Are there any additional patient monitoring tools that need to be distributed to the enrolled patients? Are there IoT devices involved in real-time tracking and monitoring of patient data?
• 4. Architect a Patient Education Strategy.
  Patient adoption and cooperation is key to any remote patient monitoring program. Create a well-orchestrated patient education strategy that includes an interactive way of proactively engaging patients in the program. Innovate new and creative ways of patient education that may include audio, video, infographics or interactive gaming formats to seamlessly educate and engage patients in the program.
• 5. Design the Operational Framework.
  Define the roles and responsibilities that involves the patients as well as the Physicians. Create a roadmap on the multiple touchpoints, interventions, data exchange and other patient related records that needs to be structured and streamlined as part of the program.
• 6. Track, Monitor and Improve.
  Have a clearly-defined tracking mechanism to constantly analyze and improve the process. Create customized reports to evaluate the program goals and the resulting outcomes in terms of patient satisfaction index, patient engagement and experiences, health outcomes, readmission rates, improved financial experiences and other determining factors
