With the rise in remote patient monitoring and reduction of hospital readmissions – the ultimate beneficiaries are patients. They become active participants in their own health and become more engaged in wellness. They learn to take control. The result is better health.
Having a healthier, more involved patient means improved quality care with lower costs – which also benefits hospitals.
Avery Teleheath Makes Remote Patient Monitoring A Simple Task
Avery Telehealth uses a proprietary care system that helps hospitals operate more efficiently and improve their bottom line. The Readmission Avoidance Program (RAP) takes the hospital discharge orders, executes the instructions and proactively coordinates care with the patient’s primary care provider and other community health providers. Remote patient monitoring takes place through Avery Telehealth’s nursing call center in Scottsdale, Arizona.
The customizable RAP has a proven track record of reducing hospital readmissions. Beginning in 2012, we reduced 30-day readmissions by more than 50 percent each year. RAP focuses on proactive care transition planning, patient-centric post discharge care coordination and remote telehealth monitoring.
