Care is moving outside the hospital at a faster and faster pace. Due to  payer mandates, shifts in sites of care to locations outside the hospital will bring an additional 18 percent expansion of patient visits to physician offices and outpatient facilities by 2032.

Most hospital patients spend over 80 percent of their stay in the bed. Immobility contributes to higher lengths of stay, increases in falls, pressure injuries and new nursing home placements. All of this reduces overall quality of care and patient satisfaction.

ThedaCare participated in the Creating a Culture of Mobility Collaborative, and we’ll provide the details on this podcast.

Patient length of stay (LOS) is a crucial measurement for health care organizations since longer patient stays increase patient risk for complications while reducing patient satisfaction. They also represent higher costs for the hospital.

In healthcare today, with care shifting from hospitals and clinics to the home, remote patient monitoring (RPM) provides a key foundational element to the success of that transition. Health care organizations need to fully implement RPM as a vital strategy to promote health and improve patient management and care. Through RPM, providers capture disease-related and physiological data on the patient and digitally transmit that data via telephone, internet, or video conferencing from the patient's home to a healthcare center, providing clinical feedback. Nowadays, RPM devices such as intelligence sensors, wearables, or handheld devices, internet-connected cellphones, and implanted monitoring devices are widely available. This podcast episode explores the latest RPM innovations with a leading expert in health technology.   Guest speaker: Joe Cummings, PhD Technology Program Director Vizient   Moderator: Courtney Furrow-White, MPM, RN Senior Performance Improvement Program Director Vizient   Show Notes: [01:32] Ramping up digital technologies [02:12] Shortening the hospital learning curve of tech adoption [03:21] Making captured physiologic info part of the care paradigm [04:06] Solving several healthcare challenges [05:13] Impact of consumerism on RPM: wireless, patches, expanding vitals collection [08:50] Contactless sensors: how they work [10:04] AI is here: chatbots, disruption, deep-learning algorithms, decision support [12:14] Challenges to RPM   Links | Resources: Contact Knowledge on the Go: picollaboratives@vizientinc.com Joe’s email: joe.cummings@vizientinc.com Courtney’s email: courtney.furrowwhite@vizientinc.com “If you still aren’t sure what ChatGPT is” (Business Insider): Click here Innovative Technology for Remote Monitoring (Vizient): Click here   Subscribe Today!
