MENLO PARK, CA, November 16, 2015 -- Spyglass Consulting Group has released a new study entitled "Trends in Remote Patient Monitoring 2015," which shows that 66 percent of hospitals and health systems surveyed have deployed remote patient monitoring solutions. These were used to manage value-based risk associated with supporting large patient populations with complex chronic conditions including congestive heart failure, COPD, diabetes, and hypertension.
When used within the context of a disease management and/or care coordination program, RPM can help provider organizations achieve the Triple AIM of improving care quality and outcomes, controlling healthcare costs and utilization, and increasing patient satisfaction. "Healthcare providers, with the passage of the Affordable Care Act, are rapidly consolidating into larger integrated delivery networks and transitioning toward various at-risk payment and care delivery models," said Gregg Malkary, Managing Director of the Spyglass Consulting Group. "They are formulating strategies and deploying foundational technologies and processes required to support population health management programs focused on chronic disease management. RPM solutions have been identified as important early symptom management tool for patients considered at greatest risk for re-hospitalization."
REPORT HIGHLIGHTS
REPORT METHODOLOGY
"Trends in Remote Patient Monitoring 2015" presents the findings of an end-user market study focused on the current state of remote patient monitoring adoption by healthcare provider organizations across the United States. The report uncovers strong opinions regarding market opportunities and challenges for deploying RPM solutions to help risk-bearing organizations achieve the Triple AIM. The report is an outgrowth of a similar study published by Spyglass in June 2013.
Content for the 2015 update was derived from more than 100 in-depth interviews with healthcare organizations involved in telehealth/telemedicine, including multi-hospital delivery systems, standalone community hospitals, ambulatory environments, home health agencies, and government organizations. Telephone interviews were conducted over a two-month period starting in May 2015. Interviews identified the needs and requirements for remote patient monitoring.
