New year, time for a new approach It’s time to plan for 2024. Are you ready to introduce seamless, scalable remote care management and monitoring into your practice?

CMS continues to advance the ability of RPM and RTM services to drive revenue and improve the patient care experience. The 2024 Final Rule addresses billing scenarios and requests for clarifications on the appropriate use of these remote monitoring codes, and clarifies CMS’ position on how it interprets certain requirements for these services.

We could not reach her primary care team for days, and could not get anyone to make referrals, advocate or communicate with her doctor. Throughout the entire experience, I kept thinking if the practice had had robust remote patient programs in any way, this would not have been such an awful, dangerous experience - and I would not have felt complete disillusionment with the healthcare system - and the care she was unable to receive.

Remote care allows providers to have a more holistic understanding of patients - without any additional work - even when not seeing them at the office.

Our EHR integration ecosystem ensures that each client’s customized system and dashboard keep data centralized and protected, and nothing is ever shared or reported manually. Many other remote care management companies ask clients to create user access so the company can do the work and create these programs. This is very risky and creates a highly insecure data situation. At Medsien we never request user access for us to access the EHR.

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

Medical practices today are providing excellent health care to their patients under really challenging circumstances. It is harder and harder for practices sometimes to have sufficient staff, systems and support to do everything they want to do.

Today, scalable remote care management is an essential part of medical practices’ growth, improving health outcomes for patients, increasing satisfaction for providers, reaching and caring for more patients - and is key to staying competitive.

‍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.
