Researchers looked at the utility of technology in enabling surgical hospital-at-home programs and highlighted remote patient monitoring technology’s current limitations:
- Data: Quality and accuracy of data acquired from wearables and ambient monitoring devices must be put front and center, according to the researchers.
- Alerts: Since surgical hospital-at-home programs have lack of proximity to patients, separating true alerts from false alarms is crucial.
- Vitals: Determining what vitals technology needs to be monitored as well as the appropriate frequency, is also crucial.
- Data interoperability: As hospital-at-home programs continue to integrate more technologies into their programs, often produced by different manufacturers, ensuring data interoperability between devices and data access for remote teams will be essential to a program’s success.
At the Becker's 11th Annual IT + Revenue Cycle Conference: The Future of AI & Digital Health, taking place September 14–17 in Chicago, healthcare executives and digital leaders from across the country will come together to explore how AI, interoperability, cybersecurity, and revenue cycle innovation are transforming care delivery, strengthening financial performance, and driving the next era of digital health.
