Features

Validic's RPM solution is designed to integrate directly with major EHR systems, including Epic and Oracle Cerner. This integration allows for the seamless incorporation of patient-generated health data (PGHD) into clinical workflows, making it accessible to healthcare providers when they need it most. The platform supports over 570 connected devices, ranging from wearables to home health monitoring tools. These devices collect a variety of physiological data, including blood pressure, glucose levels, and heart rate, which are then transmitted to the EHR for ongoing monitoring. Healthcare providers can create and manage multiple clinical interventions using Validic's platform, enabling the delivery of personalized care tailored to individual patient needs, thus aiming to improve outcomes and enhance patient engagement.

Additionally, the platform provides near real-time data and alerts, enabling timely interventions by healthcare providers. This feature enables the management of chronic conditions and aids in the prevention of acute episodes that could lead to hospital readmissions. Validic's solution is also scalable, supporting both small pilot programs and large-scale deployments, to facilitate healthcare organizations to expand their RPM initiatives as needed without compromising on efficiency or effectiveness.

Benefits of Validic Remote Patient Monitoring Solution

By providing continuous monitoring and timely interventions, Validic's RPM solution helps to improve patient outcomes. For example, patients with hypertension using Validic have seen an average drop of 12% in systolic blood pressure within six weeks. The integration of RPM data into EHRs may reduce the administrative burden on clinicians, allowing them to focus on patient care. A study found that clinicians using Validic's personalized care solution spent 63% less time on the phone with patients. RPM may help reduce healthcare costs by minimizing hospital readmissions and enabling earlier interventions. One client reported a $1,400 per patient per month reduction in total cost of care for patients enrolled in Validic’s intervention program. Patients engaged in RPM programs are more likely to adhere to treatment plans and make healthier lifestyle choices, which may lead to better health outcomes and higher patient satisfaction rates. Validic's RPM solution supports healthcare organizations to achieve value-based care goals by helping to improve clinical outcomes and reducing costs, contributing to better performance on chronic condition management quality measures and potentially higher reimbursements.

Outcomes

Improved Patient Outcomes

In a Validic program with more than 30,000 people enrolled over several years, we saw average systolic blood pressure drop by 7%, with the median blood pressure in that population moving from 140 mmHg (stage 2 hypertension) to 129 mmHg (normal range).

Enhanced Clinical Efficiency

In a study of 160 providers, 95% stated that the Validic program saved them time, and found the average check-in time with patients moved from 15 minutes to 5.5 minutes, a time savings of 63%.

Cost Reduction

In a pre/post analysis of 125 congestive heart failure patients, one Validic client found that the monthly cost of care was $3,077 before the Validic intervention and $1,671, a savings of $1,042 PMPM. A similar control group saw their monthly costs actually increase from $3,078 to $3,945.

Increased Patient Engagement

Support for Value-Based Care

Improved clinical outcomes and reduced costs contribute to better performance on chronic condition management quality measures and higher reimbursements.

Implementation Strategies

Successful RPM programs often have a dedicated executive champion who can make critical decisions and drive the program forward. This role is typically filled by a Chief Medical Information Officer (CMIO) or a digital health executive. Setting clear, achievable goals is essential for the success of RPM programs. Whether the objective is to reduce hospital readmissions or improve chronic disease management, having well-defined mission parameters helps guide the implementation process. Choosing a flexible platform that can adapt to various clinical use cases is crucial. Validic’s solution is designed to support a wide range of applications, from monitoring chronic conditions to providing post-acute care. Starting with small, manageable pilot programs allows healthcare organizations to refine their RPM strategies before scaling up. This approach minimizes risks and ensures that the program can be expanded effectively. Regularly evaluating the RPM program and making necessary adjustments based on real-world data and feedback helps maintain its effectiveness and relevance.

RPM Real-World Applications

Validic's Remote Patient Monitoring Solution is extensively used for managing chronic diseases such as diabetes, hypertension, and congestive heart failure. By consistently monitoring patients' health metrics, healthcare providers may intervene early and adjust treatment plans as needed. Patients discharged from the hospital can benefit from RPM by receiving monitoring data and following-up care at home. This approach may reduce the risk of readmissions and helps ensure a smoother recovery process.

RPM can also be used for preventive health measures, helping patients maintain a healthy lifestyle to prevent the onset of chronic conditions. Regular monitoring and timely feedback encourage patients to adhere to healthier habits. For elderly patients, RPM may provide a safety net that allows them to live more independently while being closely monitored for health issues. This may enhance quality of life and provide peace of mind to families.

There are plenty of vendors out there with solutions for diabetes, heart failure, or any other number of diseases. People, however, are not a disease. They can’t be defined by a single condition. With Validic we can look at people holistically in the context of their own ‘normal.’
