Remote patient Monitoring(RPM) is a system that helps providers monitor or care for patients outside the traditional place of services. It involves the collection and analysis of patient physiologic data used to monitor and develop and manage optimal treatment plans for a chronic and/or acute illness or condition. This system is limited to established patients. It enables providers to monitor and track patients’ physiologic parameters remotely while in their homes and implement changes to the treatment as appropriate.
