Market Energy – Remote Patient Monitoring Comments

Inefficient care transitions lead to wasted time and energy, increased risk of human error, and potentially poor experiences for both patients and providers. Despite the industry’s attempts to ensure the right information is sent to the right people at the right time, healthcare organizations must often revert to manual processes for data entry, verification, and communication. Some organizations use or want to use technology to streamline their transitions of care (TOC). This report—KLAS’ first to look at TOC—draws from the perspectives of 95 healthcare leaders across multiple care settings to understand their adoption of care transition technology, the challenges they encounter in their care settings, and the vendors they are considering.

Remote patient monitoring solutions offer providers the ability to track patients’ conditions throughout their day-to-day life rather than only during in-office encounters. Their goal is to improve clinical outcomes (by enabling early intervention and preventing further complications) and reduce the cost of care (by lessening ED visits and hospital admissions). This report offers a first look at Biofourmis, whose remote patient management platform aims to improve clinician workflows, patient engagement, and care, as well as lower the cost of care.

Healthcare organizations are increasingly needing to provide wraparound care and attention to a large number of patients outside of office visits, often in remote settings. They want to be able to track patient conditions, offer interventions, and improve outcomes while minimizing the workload of clinical staff and maintaining financial viability. This report is a first look at MD Revolution’s care management platform, RevUp, which assesses, manages, and monitors patients—thereby assisting care managers and proactively encouraging remote patient engagement.

White Paper

Health at Home White Paper 2021

29 September 21 | Ciera Walker and Schafer Jackson

In the wake of COVID-19, health at home is growing in popularity as provider organizations seek to deliver high-quality, lower-cost patient care while minimizing the health risks associated with the hospital environment. To this end, organizations have begun offering acute care services at home, in addition to existing post–acute care options. The technology, supplies, services, and staffing needed for health at home can be quite complex, and the many interdependent pieces may be adopted à la carte or as a comprehensive offering. To help provider organizations better understand this dynamic market, this paper establishes a health at home framework and answers key questions about what provider organizations may want to consider for their own health at home strategies. While KLAS’ customer satisfaction research for health at home is emerging, we have existing data for areas like home health, hospice, and private duty/personal care; links to this data are provided where appropriate.
