Improved Oncology Care Outcomes With Remote Patient Monitoring (RPM)

Wondering how Remote Patient Monitoring (RPM) can assist you in your oncology practice outcomes? It is no secret that cancer is one of the most dangerous illnesses, often associated with low patient success rates. However, recent years have shown a notable improvement in health outcomes with the adoption of RPM.

Remote patient monitoring (RPM) is invaluable across various cancer treatments, including chemotherapy, tumor removal surgery, and other procedures requiring 24/7 close monitoring. Additionally, RPM assists in managing side effects, monitoring vital signs, ensuring medication adherence, and providing psychological support.

In this blog, we will discuss about the role RPM plays in improving the health outcomes and managing the side effects in cancer patients.

The Importance of Remote Patient Monitoring in Oncology

With the emergence of RPM technology, real-time monitoring of oncology patients is now easy, making it possible to detect complications and provide timely interventions and support whenever needed. This also helps in identifying underlying symptoms before they escalate, thereby preventing serious health complications in patients with a weakened immune system.

There are several benefits of implementing remote patient monitoring in oncology, including:

• Improves patient outcomes: By closely monitoring patients’ health data, healthcare providers can intervene and customize treatment plans to meet the healthcare needs of the patient. This, in turn, boosts health outcomes and quality of life.
• Reduces communication gaps: Remote patient monitoring enables seamless communication between patients and healthcare providers. Using cellular medical devices, patients can easily check their vitals, which are transmitted to the healthcare providers RPM platform for prompt feedback. This streamlined communication leads to better care coordination and improved patient satisfaction.
• Minimizes healthcare costs: With 24/7 real-time monitoring of patients’ health data and providing interventions whenever needed, RPM plays a significant role in reducing sudden hospitalizations and emergency room visits. This not only leads to cost savings but helps reduce health complications and improve the overall efficiency of cancer care delivery model at an oncology practice.
