RPM Enrolment
Remote Patient Monitoring
Enrollment Process
Community Paramedic will contact the patient to start enrollment. Once the enrollment process is started the Paramedic will schedule a home visit to set up health devices.
You will be asked to provide general Information such as: emergency contacts, health care providers, medical history, medications, etc.
You will be provided with the necessary equipment based on your health condition. The equipment you may receive is a communication gateway, weight scale, blood pressure cuff, pulse oximeter, thermometer and or a glucometer. Your Community Paramedic will set up these devices in your home and show you how to use them.
After the initial home visit, your Community Paramedics will be monitoring your daily biometric measurements. If these measurements fall outside of threshold parameters an alert will be triggered, and your Community Paramedic will be notified. You will receive a phone call from your Paramedic who will review your current health status, and together you will determine the best plan of action.
Remote Patient Monitoring
- Process
Remote patient monitoring (RPM) is a straightforward concept. Through the use of modern technology, we can collect essential health data such as weight, blood pressure, oxygen levels, and temperature from patients in their own homes on a daily basis. Healthcare providers can track these vital signs from virtually anywhere and identify trends that could indicate a patient’s condition is deteriorating.
- Impact
By continuously monitoring patients in this way, the healthcare team can step in early to adjust medications, change lifestyle habits, or arrange for an in-person visit. Research consistently shows that this proactive approach leads to fewer emergency room visits, reduced hospital admissions, longer periods spent at home, and greater patient control over their health.
