228: Avoiding ‘pilot purgatory’ in remote patient monitoring

Remote patient monitoring (RPM) has a surprisingly long history in healthcare. As technology improves, RPM can expand physician capacity, better manage complex patients, and improve total cost of care. Despite RPM’s potential, leaders often struggle to root RPM in a clear business case, or they underinvest in implementation, never fully integrating RPM into existing workflows and systems. This week, host Rachel (Rae) Woods invites Advisory Board RPM expert Lauren Woodrow and Advisory Board cardiovascular expert Kristin Strubel to break down why RPM technologies aren’t being properly utilized, guide leaders on where to place their strategic bets, and share use cases for how RPM can improve quality and finances across service lines.
