Description
In the overwhelming tide of change in healthcare, technology is being leveraged more than ever to provide value to the patient, and support their wellness. The state of Maryland is microcosm of what is possible, as the Maryland Health Care Commission (MHCC) provided funding for and legislated a study to explore telehealth and remote patient monitoring (RPM). In studying RPM, MHCC awarded a combined total of $80,000 to three grantees over an 18-month period: Crisfield Clinic, LLC (Crisfield); Lorien Health Systems (Lorien); and Union Hospital of Cecil County (UHCC). Each of these providers noted reductions in readmissions, resulting in notable cost savings.
Concepts like OpenNotes, wearable device integration, RPM, all represent the next generation of patient engagement and care management through technology, and the results many providers have seen thus far have translated to tremendous cost savings. In this session, visit with a panel of experts who are actively involved in forward-thinking, and next-generation programs associated with patient engagement.
