3 Ways Telemonitoring Can Transform Quality of Care

Providers and insurers have a financial stake in keeping patients out of the hospital. To do so, they need accurate, up-to-date patient information and the ability to quickly share that data with different members of their team. Not only does this take the right software, but also the right device.

With the use of telemonitoring in the home healthcare sector, organizations can now capture previously inaccessible in-home patient data with the help of tablet-equipped home health aides; which has produced an annual savings of $3,000 per member. To keep at-risk patients healthy while minimizing costs, healthcare providers need to take a team-based approach on how to effectively use this new technology and achieve both goals.

Look at a typical routine example of an aide’s day: The home health aides will visit patients who have chronic diseases to capture biometric data and record their observations. They must then communicate this data with care managers, who coordinate any necessary medical intervention. Because each care manager remotely oversees more than 100 patients, they need accurate and immediate information from the health aides who interact with these individuals on a regular basis.

Without a complete picture of each patient’s symptoms and condition, it’s hard for care managers to make good decisions and respond to potential health threats before there’s a real problem. With the daunting task of making sure all necessary information is communicated back in a timely manner, implementing the proper program on an easy-to-use mobile device is key for all members in the process to do their job efficiently and effectively while also improving patient engagement scores and helping the organization save money.

Organizations need to invest in the proper software and cloud-based applications that will facilitate communication between a patient’s entire care team on the proper device that has a highly secure architecture and is also easy-to-use for consumers and employees.
