How to Reduce Hospital Readmissions With Remote Monitoring

For value-based care leaders, finding scalable strategies on how to reduce hospital readmissions with remote monitoring has become a priority. RemotePatientPro™ delivers a flexible remote patient monitoring (RPM) solution that allows care teams to proactively manage patient health, improve patient engagement, and optimize established workflows — all while meeting value-based care objectives.

Why Reducing Hospital Readmissions Matters

By one estimate, “over $52.4 billion is spent annually to care for patients that [are] readmitted to the hospital within 30 days for a previously treated condition.” Organizations operating under value-based care models want to prevent readmissions so that patient outcomes are better, reimbursements are higher, and provider operations are more efficient.

How Remote Monitoring Reduces Hospital Readmissions

RemotePatientPro’s turnkey RPM platform continuously collects patient vitals — including blood pressure, oxygen saturation, glucose levels, and weight — all from the comfort of home. This real-time monitoring reduces hospital readmissions by enabling:

Timely interventions triggered by the detection of worsening symptoms.
Improved continuity of care after discharge.
Greater patient engagement through simplified, supportive technology.

Best Practices to Reduce Hospital Readmissions With Remote Monitoring

Identify High-Risk Patients for RPM Enrollment

Target patients with conditions like heart failure, COPD, or diabetes — those who are statistically more likely to experience readmissions without intervention.

Integrate RPM Into Care Coordination

Use RemotePatientPro’s tools to unify remote data with your EHR and care team workflows, ensuring consistent actions are taken in response to clinical alerts.

Educate and Support Patients

Clear onboarding, regular follow-ups, and intuitive devices help patients remain engaged and compliant with post-discharge care plans.

Monitor Results to Refine Strategy

Leverage RPP’s analytics to track metrics like readmission rates, treatment/medication adherence, and overall engagement.
