St. Mary's Remote Patient Monitoring
St. Mary’s understands that medically fragile children and young adults have unique needs and want to be active participants in their own care.
Remote Patient Monitoring creates a partnership between the patient, their caregiver, and the St. Mary’s Telehealth Team to allow for real-time communication and responses to changes in condition that help patients avoid unnecessary hospitalizations and emergency room visits. Patients learn to recognize the early signs that indicate a change in their condition that might need attention. Real-time alerts trigger contact by the St. Mary’s Home Care nurse to determine the need for an intervention.
Remote Patient Monitoring (RPM)
Patients receive a remote monitoring kit with peripheral devices to collect their vital signs and to help them manage their health. Bluetooth-enabled devices transmit data to a platform the St. Mary’s Telehealth Team monitors. Alerts are triggered when patient responses fall outside physician-ordered parameters. Appropriate interventions are applied, and patients/caregivers fully participate in their own care. The following biometric measurements can be monitored: blood pressure, heart rate, temperature, weight, and medication adherence. The St. Mary’s Telehealth Team monitors the patient’s progress on a clinical
dashboard and responds to alerts that may indicate a serious change in the patient’s condition.
