Remote Patient Monitoring: 24/7 Visibility Without the Overhead

Imagine having real-time visibility into each resident’s health without needing to expand your clinical team. That’s the promise of remote patient monitoring (RPM), and it’s already transforming long-term care by making continuous observation scalable and affordable.

What is Remote Patient Monitoring?

RPM involves the use of wearable devices, sensors, and cloud-connected health platforms to track residents’ vital signs and daily metrics like blood pressure, heart rate, oxygen levels, glucose, and more. This data is transmitted securely to your care team, giving them a clear view of each resident’s status even when no one is physically in the room.

The Benefits for Long-Term Care Facilities

• Early intervention: RPM allows your team to detect early warning signs of deterioration, helping to prevent hospitalizations and emergency room visits.

• Staffing support: Facilities battling staff shortages can still maintain excellent care standards. RPM automates monitoring, reducing manual checks.

• Family reassurance: Families feel more confident and connected when they know their loved one’s health is being tracked continuously.

• Regulatory compliance: Automated logs and data trails assist with documentation, improving survey readiness and audit defense.

A study published in the Journal of Medical Internet Research found that RPM led to a 76% reduction in hospital readmissions among patients with chronic conditions. When implemented in long-term care settings, it can significantly reduce the operational burden while improving resident health.

At Choice IT Services, we partner with top-tier RPM providers and ensure that your network is secure, HIPAA-compliant, and capable of supporting device connectivity at scale. From network design to ongoing support, we handle the tech so your team can focus on care.

Why It's the Right Time

With Medicare increasingly reimbursing RPM and technology costs dropping, the return on investment has never been stronger. Facilities that adopt RPM now are setting themselves up to meet future care demands with flexibility and foresight.
