Imagineer Tech Showcase - 5 Remote Monitoring Best Practices-5 Remote Monitoring Best Practices

Video Transcription

Video Summary

In this video presentation, Shani Kress from the Rhythm Management Group discusses the best practices for remote monitoring in the cardiac electrophysiology field. She highlights the importance of optimizing the use of remote monitoring by ensuring that all eligible patients are connected and being monitored. However, she notes that currently only around 60-70% of eligible patients are connected to the network, whereas the goal should be above 90%. Shani emphasizes that remote monitoring is a team effort involving clinicians, administrative staff, and patients themselves. She also talks about the benefits of regular scheduled transmissions for getting a full picture of the patient's condition and optimizing billing practices. The use of technology and auditing processes helps to achieve high levels of patient connectivity and scheduling compliance. Shani also mentions the impact of COVID-19 on remote monitoring and how these best practices can be applied beyond the cardiac device monitoring space. The video concludes with an insightful Q&A session with Dr. Michael Gold.
