Remote patient monitoring has the potential to improve clinical outcomes by extending patient monitoring beyond traditional healthcare encounters. However, its effectiveness depends on selecting appropriate patients and using remotely collected physiologic data to support timely clinical interventions. Rural healthcare organizations must also understand how payer requirements shape service delivery and establish the workflows, technology, and care team responsibilities needed to operate an effective RPM program.
