Principles for High-Quality
Remote Patient Monitoring
As national leaders in remote patient monitoring (RPM), we commit to a shared set of principles to ensure the delivery of high-quality, patient-centered care and to shape the future of our industry. Recognizing the critical role RPM plays in the future of health care, we endorse these shared principles to define and uphold standards of excellence.
Bridge Care Gaps, Strengthen Continuity of Care, and Enhance Patient-Clinician Relationships.
RPM creates continuity of care through an ongoing line of communication that enables timely discussions and proactive outreach.
Empower Patients to Take Greater Ownership of Their Care
Data captured by RPM should create opportunities for both care teams and patients to monitor vitals and use this information to support the care plan.
Demonstrate and Publish on Clinical Outcomes
We are invested in analyzing and publishing our work, both in terms of clinical outcomes and effects on cost of care for the chronic or acute conditions we manage.
Provide RPM Services Only Where Necessary and Appropriate for Patients
We are committed to implementation practices that apply purposeful patient inclusion and exclusion criteria.
Appropriately Bill for RPM Services and Comply with Laws
We are committed to ensuring our documentation fully complies with all requirements for billing.
We comply with all AMA and CMS guidance for appropriate billing of remote physiologic monitoring at all steps in providing RPM.
Commit to Responsible Use of Patient Health Data
We meet all Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act (HIPAA) privacy and security requirements surrounding the patient data we collect and use for treatment, payment, and operations.
Advocate to Bring RPM to All Patients for Whom It Should be the Standard of Care
We believe RPM is the standard of care for a variety of health conditions, as well as situations in which home-based, longitudinal monitoring data creates value.
Meet the Council
The Remote Monitoring Leadership Council is a new collaborative of innovative companies operating across all 50 states, representing a significant portion of all remote monitoring and care management services being delivered to Americans. Our goal is to ensure high-quality RPM services are available to all patients for whom it should be the standard of care, and address policy barriers to this adoption.
