The U.S. spends more per capita on healthcare than any other country, yet care is still relatively inaccessible, unaffordable and inequitable for many people.

 

Healthcare leaders are increasingly leveraging remote patient management programs to improve access, affordability, and equity for patients. The evidence demonstrates these programs can achieve these goals while also improving clinical outcomes and lowering the cost of delivering care. Technology is obviously a critical enabler for this care model. But staffing, logistics, supply chain, patient selection, and other “non-tech” considerations remain a challenge and cannot necessarily be solved with wearables or artificial intelligence. This whitepaper outlines six strategies hospitals can take to overcome such obstacles and realize the value of a remote patient management program.
