Study shows RPM reduces readmissions, helps catch medication errors, and improves pain management.

A randomized controlled trial across 8 acute care hospitals showed that patients in the group that used Remote Patient Monitoring (RPM) after surgery, were 5.3% less likely to be readmitted, were 13.9% less likely to report pain 7 days after surgery, and were 24.2% safer because medication errors were detected.
