To better meet the demands of our clients as well as healthcare delivery in general, Care Innovations is proud to announce the introduction of our Hospital-to-Home digital health system for the treatment of COVID-19.
COVID-19 continues to daily change our world and has left many industries scrambling to find a way to conduct business while maintaining the health and safety of their customers and staff. The healthcare industry has obviously been heavily impacted and forced to change business as usual. Waiting rooms are suddenly empty and the only patients allowed are those that are in need of emergent care. Patients need to see their providers for routine care matters and refills, however the fear of going into their provider’s office has caused some patients to go without needed medical care. Providers have been forced to find new ways to engage and treat their patients using technology as the mediator.
I think many of us would agree that life has been somewhat strange for the past several weeks as we globally battle COVID-19. As I sat with my 10-year old daughter attempting my best to be a home schoolteacher, she looked up at me and said, “has anything like this happened before?” I told her there have certainly been pandemics before, but none that have directly affected us like COVID-19.

A persistent fear (and misperception) about remote patient management (RPM) is that the technology will be rejected as too intimidating by both patients and clinicians. On the contrary: Just as evidence is increasingly revealing that patients are eager to leverage well-designed RPM technology to take the betterment of their health into their own hands, so too are clinicians shown to be embracing the potential of RPM to better engage with patients and improve their own day-to-day work regimen. Better still, empowering clinicians to engage with RPM — i.e., getting them set up within a new system — is both simple and straightforward, as our experts explain in this video.

Should remote patient management (RPM) be utilized for short-term or long-term episodes of care? The answer can be both, depending on your organization’s (and your patients’) specific needs. “I’ve seen RPM used very successfully in shorter-term, 30-day episodes of care that might be in a post-acute setting, and also in a home health setting where you’re transitioning a patient to self-management,” says Bryan Pruden, Chief Financial Officer for Care Innovations®, in this brief video. Regarding long-term episodes, Bryan also describes how RPM can be successfully implemented to help diabetic populations manager their conditions (as one example).

How long can you expect to wait between the time you sign a contract to implement a remote patient management (RPM) program, and the time in which the program is fully up and running? Although there’s no single, cut-and-dried answer to this question, there are a variety of factors that can clue you into what to anticipate. As our RPM Academy telehealth experts explain in this brief video, these considerations include whether you’re integrating the program into your existing EMR system (and to what extent), whether you’re using new or pre-existing clinical content, whether you want to employ a pilot program, as well as a few other important questions.
