Optimizing Workflows in Remote Patient Care

Increasingly, care delivery models seek to optimize the balance of in-hospital and out-of-hospital care.  Shifting a greater proportion of the care journey out-of-hospital is intended to manage stresses placed on the health care system caused by increased patient complexity, the rising cost of care, and staffing shortages.  In this conversation, we specifically consider advances in remote cardiac patient management.  We discuss how integrating the increasing volume of ambulatory ECG data into existing optimized workflows and information systems can reduce emergency room burden and hospital bed usage.
