What Technology Is Used to Deliver RPM?

Remote patient monitoring is possible thanks to recent advances in technology that allow efficient, seamless, and secure at-home care. Two types of technology form the basis of remote patient monitoring: virtual communication and remote medical devices.

First of all, virtual communication tools are necessary to allow caregivers to speak with patients on a regular basis. This includes the monthly check-ins that are the basis of the CPT codes for reimbursement. And, while these can certainly be delivered using new technology like videoconferencing apps (such as Zoom), in some cases it can also be delivered via telephone. Check the CPT codes for specific details.

Secondly, remote medical devices are essential for remote patient monitoring. The most common RPM devices are used to monitor vital signs, like blood pressure monitors, blood glucometers and pulse oximeters. Other RPM devices like weight scales and spirometers capture additional patient data that’s also vital to care.

Many of these RPM devices can also be used in other types of patient care. For instance, a remote blood pressure monitor is essential for chronic care management programs, while a remote spirometer is of use to providers implementing remote therapeutic programs. And the best of these devices let patients upload their information into a clinical portal and EHR/EMR in near real-time.
