Patients with chronic conditions are avoiding routine care during the pandemic increasing their risk of mortality and eroding patient-provider relationships. Population health leaders can extend care into the home by leveraging deviceless remote patient monitoring. As patients report symptoms and biometrics, providers can easily identify opportunities to deliver proactive care, leading to improved health outcomes and lowered avoidable ED utilization.
The impetus to improve clinical outcomes during a pandemic requires a new vision for virtual care, one that emphasizes scalability, accessibility, and clinical impact. Learn the strategies Mercy population health leaders used to scale the reach of care management 10x without adding new staff, resulting in a 59% reduction in heart failure ED visits, 30% reduction in COPD ED visits, and an over $200 reduction in PMPM costs.

Responding to the COVID-19 pandemic, many provider organizations are pursuing telehealth and remote patient monitoring to engage patients in the home and support chronic condition management. Yet, high-tech, device-based remote patient monitoring can be difficult to scale due to high cost and limited accessibility.
Learn how Esse Health prioritized a scalable approach using Deviceless Remote Patient Monitoring for its Medicare Advantage patients with chronic conditions, including heart failure, diabetes, and COPD. Discover how its care management team was able to reach 15x more patients, delivering proactive care to over 1,000 rising-risk Medicare Advantage patients.
Patients communicated symptoms to their care team enabling care managers to identify patients who need help. As a result, care managers helped patients control their chronic condition from home resulting in a 46% drop in heart failure ED visits and a $124 per member per month (PMPM) savings—an 11% reduction in global costs.

HealthLeaders recently held the Telehealth and Connected Health NOW Online Summit. Over the two-day event, industry experts and thought leaders discussed the changing role of virtual care for patients and providers and its impact on the healthcare space.
Gundersen Health System faced a huge cultural change due to the pandemic. Prior to COVID-19, Gundersen was involved in telehealth initiatives, but they were not in widespread use. The healthcare system devised a plan to limit in-person visits and move as much care as possible to telehealth. But how is that done is such a rapid manner?
Additionally, OU (Oklahoma) Medicine brought virtual care to the forefront for their patients and physicians. The focus was on progress and not perfection (for now) and with that, OU was able to complete 30,000 virtual care visits from March to mid-July.
