The program focuses on patients with, or at risk for, chronic or uncontrolled conditions like diabetes, hypertension and heart failure, according to a July 20 press release.
“Remote patient monitoring makes healthcare more accessible to patients,” said Janette Kirkpatrick, vice president of clinical excellence at LMH Health. “With regular monitoring of a patient’s condition, providers are able to immediately recognize a problem and work with the patient to correct it. This will keep individuals out of more serious, emergency department situations — and, ultimately, lower an individual’s healthcare cost.”
LMH Health plans to extend the program to other diseases as more patients enroll in the program.
