Infographic: Challenges and Success Factors for Telehealth

July 27th, 2018 by Melanie Matthews

As telehealth continues to expand each year, current and prospective adopters face an array of challenges, according to a new infographic by URAC.

The infographic examines these challenges, as well as success factors.

Remote Patient Monitoring for Chronic Condition Management: Leveraging Technology in a Value-Based System Encouraged by early success in coaching 23 patients to wellness at home via remote monitoring, CHRISTUS Health expanded its remote patient monitoring (RPM) enrollment to 170 high-risk, high-cost patients. At that scaling-up juncture, the challenge for CHRISTUS shifted to balancing its mission of keeping patients healthy and in their homes with maintaining revenue streams sufficient to keep its doors open in a largely fee-for-service environment.

Remote Patient Monitoring for Chronic Condition Management: Leveraging Technology in a Value-Based System chronicles the evolution of the CHRISTUS RPM pilot, which is framed around a Bluetooth®-enabled monitoring kit sent home with patients at hospital discharge.

Guest Post: Clinical, Quality and Financial Benefits of Incorporating Technology into Healthcare Practices

April 10th, 2018 by Brooke LeVasseur

New technology adoption playing an increasingly vital role in healthcare practices.

Adoption of new technology is playing an increasingly vital role in the future of healthcare practices. Through population health solutions, artificial intelligence and new expanded telehealth offerings, healthcare stakeholders are better able to achieve triple aim goals with increased access to care, reduced readmissions and transfers, improved care coordination and more efficient clinical workflows.

These technological advancements have the potential to improve patient outcomes while significantly decreasing the overall cost of care.

  • According to the Certification Commission of Healthcare Information Technology, it is estimated that about 50 percent of healthcare finances are wasted, due to inefficient processes.
  • Empowering providers with new communications tools can lead to increased efficiency and improved care coordination at a lower cost.
  • New advances in care delivery models such as eConsults allow providers to have immediate access to the necessary information to treat their patients without the constraints of physical location. eConsults allow for providers to connect with specialists to collaborate on treatment plans, all within the primary care setting.

While telehealth can deliver substantial cost savings, it can also deliver clinical advantages.

  • Telemedicine allows for greater access to care for those living in areas where either population congestion or geographic proximity makes gaining access to healthcare more difficult. Providers are also able to have access to more patients per day versus a traditional office visit.
  • Smart Care Platforms are making strides in the senior and Medicaid managed care industries because it allows for the elderly population to receive eConsult specialty care from the comfort of their primary care setting.
  • Prison systems have also taken advantage of Smart Care Platforms to alleviate the extra staff/security and financial costs of transferring an inmate to a hospital or specialty care setting.
