For many years, Digital Patient Engagement and Remote Monitoring solutions have been a point of interest in the healthcare industry to more effectively engage patients and improve the delivery of care. For example, the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on the cardiac procedure backlog has further skyrocketed the demand for innovative platforms such as SeamlessMD, which have been proven to reduce hospital LOS, readmissions, ED visits, and costs.
Today, cardiovascular care teams are implementing Patient Engagement & Remote Monitoring programs to improve the patient experience and clinical outcomes. As many organizations may be unfamiliar with the process of implementing these types of solutions, to help you get started, we have put together a practical whitepaper on How to Implement a Cardiac Patient Engagement & Remote Monitoring program.
