As the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS) proposes to ramp up reimbursement for remotely delivered services, and the many success stories of its successful implementation continue to dominate industry headlines, remote health management has become one of healthcare’s most widely discussed buzzwords.
CPT, CMS, RVU, RUC, ICT, DRG, AMA, QHP … so much alphabet soup! Just knowing how to “say” each of these terms is an accomplishment. (For the record, RUC is the only one that's phonetically pronounced; the others are spelled out.)
I must admit that I did not have a clue how meaningful and fulfilling it would be to work as a remote patient management (RPM) clinician. My earlier career as a critical care nurse practitioner at Vanderbilt University Medical Center was a fast-paced and exciting job, but it left me with little time for a satisfying work-life balance. I yearned to do something different.
Just as it did for the 2018 calendar year, the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS) is seeking to further expand reimbursement for remote patient monitoring, virtual visits and other telehealth services as part of its proposed 2019 Medicare physician fee schedule.

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.
