From home sensors that track daily motion and sleep abnormalities to video visits via teleconferencing, Humana's nine pilots of remote patient monitoring test technologies to keep the frail elderly at home as long as possible.
When integrated with telephonic care management, remote monitoring has helped to avert medical emergencies and preventable hospitalizations among individuals with serious medical and functional challenges.
In Remote Patient Monitoring for Enhanced Care Coordination: Technology to Manage an Aging Population, Gail Miller, vice president of telephonic clinical operations in Humana's care management organization, Humana Cares/SeniorBridge, reviews Humana's expanded continuum of care aimed at improving health outcomes, increasing satisfaction and reducing overall healthcare costs with a more holistic approach.
This 30-page resource also provides benchmarks in remote patient monitoring extracted from the 2013 HIN Telehealth and Telemedicine survey.
This special report provides details on the following:
- Humana's best-in-class remote monitoring model for management of the chronically ill across the care continuum;
-
How to recruit and continuously engage patients in telephonic care management and remote monitoring;
-
The key features of the remote monitoring programs;
-
How remote monitoring can provide early indication of problems and lead to early intervention;
-
How care managers work with technology vendors in the remote monitoring pilots to coordinate care;
-
Initial results achieved from telephonic care management and early results from the remote monitoring programs; and
- 2013 benchmarks in remote monitoringfrom health conditions and activities monitored to results achieved with remote monitoringfrom the HIN Telehealth and Telemedicine survey.
