Remote Patient Monitoring
Long Valley Health Center Now Offering Remote Patient Monitoring (RPM)
What Is Remote Patient Monitoring (RPM)?
Remote Patient Monitoring (RPM) is an efficient healthcare delivery method that uses digital technologies to monitor and analyze vital such as your blood pressure in your own home or wherever you are. RPM technology electronically transmits health information from you in your home to your care team at Long Valley Health Center.
Long Valley Health Center uses RPM to collect patient vital signs, including blood pressure, vital signs, weight, heart rate, blood sugar levels, and physical activity. Your data is safe, secure, and will never be sold to a third party.
What Are The Benefits Of RPM?
Improved quality of care
Remote monitoring improves patient engagement and helps you to take control of your health. With RPM, providers gain a more holistic understanding of a patient's health condition, which can lead to more accurate adjustments in medications, fewer emergency room visits, and more time between in-office visits.
Better access to your healthcare team
Since RPM devices report real-time health data, providers are kept in the loop on their patients' current health status, providing patients and caregivers with the ability to more quickly identify and respond to any concerning developments.
Peace of mind
With this personalized experience, patients and their families will immediately feel that the clinician is watching out for their health and well-being.
Improved support, education, and feedback
Patients get daily info – vital signs, trending data, graphs – and have access to educational content to give them the information they need to take control of improving their health.
Who Should Consider RPM?
Our RPM program is currently for patients with hypertension. This group is open to those patients who:
1. Have high or low blood pressure
2. Have WiFi or cellular coverage in their home
3. Are willing to take their blood pressure regularly to stay healthy
How Much Does RPM Cost?
The U.S. federal government reimburses Long Valley for most, if not all, of the expense of RPM. Depending on your health plan, a co-pay of $5 to $20 monthly may apply.
