Sage Journals: Short-Term Impact of Remote Patient Monitoring on Total Cost of Care Among High-Acuity Medicare Beneficiaries: A Retrospective Pre–Post Cohort Analysis
High-acuity Medicare beneficiaries with annual expenditures exceeding $12,000 disproportionately drive the total cost of care (TCOC) through preventable acute utilization and are natural candidates for value-based and shared savings arrangements. This study found short-term RPM participation was associated with substantial reductions in TCOC and acute utilization among high-acuity Medicare beneficiaries, supporting RPM as a viable…

HealthSnap: RPM and CCM Are Improving Cardiology Patient Outcomes
Across large, real-world populations with diabetes, hypertension, and obesity, participation in RPM has produced substantial and sustained clinical improvements – reductions in TCOC and physiological measures, such as fasting blood glucose, systolic and diastolic blood pressure, and meaningful weight loss. These improvements scale with both engagement intensity and program duration. Findings suggest that RPM functions…

NEJM Catalyst: Scaling Remote Patient Care: The Mechanics of a Paradigm Shift in Chronic Disease Management
Comprehensive remote patient monitoring — coupled with technology-enabled, guideline-directed medical therapy through remote patient care (RPC) — has the potential to fill this gap by enabling continuous, real-time vitals monitoring and timely clinical care outside of the traditional health care environment. Providence co-developed such a program with Cadence, which provides RPC for patients with hypertension,…

JACC: Clinical and Engagement Results of a Nationwide Comprehensive Remote Patient Care Hypertension Program
A technology-enabled RPC provider enrolled patients into an RPC hypertension program from February 2022 to June 2024. Using vitals automatically transmitted from a cellular-enabled blood pressure (BP) cuff and scheduled visits, clinicians leveraged technology-enabled clinical protocols to drive engagement and improve hypertension control. The analysis found:
