Evaluating the Remote Patient Monitoring Infrastructure Framework in the Management of Hypertension

Abstract

The collection of patient data outside of a healthcare clinic or physician’s office through remote patient monitoring (RPM) has been touted to improve patient care and clinician decision making. However, these implementations can be challenging and complex, and an RPM Infrastructure Framework has identified some of the challenges and considerations associated with RPM interventions. Using a case study approach, this research examines the RPM Infrastructure Framework in the context of the use of remote patient monitoring to manage hypertension. Our findings identify support for the major components of the framework, but also identify additional considerations for RPM interventions that could affect their implementation.
