Proactive Strategies to Reduce ER Visits, Hospitalizations and Readmissions for Chronic Care Patients
For many hospitals, chronic care patients can be a source of financial stress and less-than-ideal clinical outcomes. Too often, the hospital’s cost of care is greater than the revenue–especially when there are avoidable readmissions.
Fortunately, Remote Patient Monitoring (RPM) technology has emerged as a game-changer in healthcare, allowing healthcare providers to monitor a patient's health in the comfort of their homes, enabling proactive strategies that improve patient outcomes and hospital financial strength.
This 30-minute webinar will share how your hospital can provide proactive care to patients by using RPM technology that can lead to better outcomes and improved quality of life. Participants will also learn how hospitals can increase revenue without adding staff and attract new patients for high-value services.
The webinar features a special guest, Dr. Teresa Sieck, CEO, President, and CMO of WebCareHealth. Dr. Sieck was chosen to write the chapter on Optimizing the patient experience for telehealth and remote patient monitoring programs: Best practices and requirements for success for the recently published book, Emerging Practices in Telehealth: Best Practices in a Rapidly Changing Field (Elsevier, Feb. 2023)
We'll concisely address business-focused topics such as revenue enhancement, cost management, return on investment, financial forecasting, reimbursement models, data analysis, cost savings, increased efficiency, and improved patient satisfaction. We’ll also see how a good RPM strategy reduces the workload of busy clinicians and enhances staff satisfaction, workplace culture, workplace safety, and data privacy.
The webinar will also cover the essential topics related to clinical processes and the patient outcome benefits of remote patient monitoring.
We'll help healthcare organizations make informed decisions about their investments in remote patient monitoring by providing practical and economically viable strategies to improve population health and upstream social determinants of health.
Join us and learn how remote patient monitoring can help your hospital provide better patient care while also managing costs and increasing revenue.
