From Medsien

Loneliness is a serious epidemic and major public health problem impacting individuals and communities in the United States and around the globe.

The shortage of healthcare providers in rural America is reaching a critical point. With limited access to primary and specialty care, particularly for Medicare beneficiaries, the demand for innovative healthcare delivery models is urgent. Remote Care Management (RCM) is a vital solution bridging the care gap for aging populations in underserved areas.

Throughout the Great Depression and the Second World War, birthrates in the United States remained fairly low. Following World War II, a post war economic boom saw tremendous expansion of infrastructure and growth of neighborhoods, and a rising middle class. With that growth and economic confidence came a post war baby boom in the United States.

Implementing a remote care management program doesn’t have to take weeks or create extra work for your staff. With Medsien, you can get started in as little as five days — no manual reporting, no user access sharing, and no disruption to your practice’s workflow.

Preventative care is a proven strategy for cutting healthcare expenses and improving patient outcomes. According to the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS), preventable hospital admissions cost Medicare over $30 billion annually. The administration aims to reduce these expenses through initiatives that emphasize keeping patients healthy and managing chronic conditions proactively.

To address these gaps, the OIG has recommended additional safeguards to enhance oversight, including greater specificity on monitored health data, and enhanced provider education on correct billing practices.

For most health organizations right now, teams are already understaffed, overworked, and overstressed - and each great new idea or new program or project or innovation that is suggested or required of clinical providers - adds more work for their team

‍Remote care management programs use technology to facilitate clinically driven, remote monitoring, care and education of patients and are essential to effective health management - in particular for managing patients with chronic disease.

No one wants to be audited, but if your practice is audited – you want to be ready. Readiness requires you to have good, accurate data – that’s easily available.
