Turnkey Remote Cardiac Monitoring Solutions

With HRS’ ready-made, turnkey remote cardiac monitoring solutions, find out how we can help your organization prevent readmissions from the following patient populations:

Heart Realistic

Congestive Heart Failure (CHF)

CHF patients have high rates of readmissions and non-adherence, and hospitals are penalized under CMS’ hospital readmission reduction program (HRRP) for this. HRS’ proven RPM solutions can address these problems through symptom surveys, education, and vital sign monitoring, while offering virtual care for regular visits or triage purposes when there is an exacerbation of some type.


Heartbeat

Atrial Fibrillation (AFiB)

AFib patients need frequent monitoring of their heart rate and blood pressure along with anticoagulation monitoring. Additionally, medication adherence is a challenge as patients can struggle with managing multiple medications. Symptom reporting is crucial to treatment as well. HRS’ RPM solutions can monitor the heart rate of these patients in order for the MD to assess if medications are working. Symptom surveys assist the MD in evaluating side effects and exacerbation of the disease. Education on anticoagulant therapy and medication adherence is key along with medication reminder options.

Hypertension

Hypertension is so common and it's the silent disease for many. Patients with this condition show a high rate of non-adherence to medication therapy. Left untreated, it can lead to severe complications, such as stroke, CAD, Arrhythmia , and death. Using HRS’ RPM solutions, clinicians can easily assist with medication adherence and adjustment to ensure BP levels are within a normal range. HRS’ extensive patient education videos are another great tool for this as well.

Scapel

Cardiac Surgery

Cardiac surgery patients are prone to multiple complications post op. Oftentimes, they're readmitted to the hospital and hospitals are penalized. HRS’ RPM solutions can prevent this by monitoring patients' biometrics to detect any change in condition that may signal a complication is occurring. Symptom surveys allow detection of changes as well. PHQ9 assessment can detect for any new or worsening signs of depression. Virtual virtual can assist the patient and meet with providers as needed when they are at most risk for infection - keeping them safe at home.

"In May and June 2022, MaineGeneral has achieved a CMS-CHF readmission rate of 0%, compared with 20% and 26.7% in the same months the prior year. Additionally, the overall CHF readmission rate has hit 0% in four of the last nine months."

HRS Clients Achieve Results

liberty-homecare-logo

Among CHF, Hypertension, and COPD patients, Liberty achieved the following:

  • 7.1% hospital readmission rate
  • 98% patient satisfaction rate

Learn More

Using HRS’ innovative solutions, Liberty HomeCare’s team was able to reduce readmissions for patients with CHF, Hypertension, and COPD. They leveraged communication tools including text messaging, phone calls, and video conferencing. Clinicians monitored patient vitals, symptoms, and medication adherence 24/7 and promptly responded to patient needs and changes in health status. Communicating with every patient following a high-risk alert enabled the telehealth team to assess, educate, and prevent not only hospitalizations, but future exacerbations.

frederick-health-logo

Among CHF, Afib, and Hypertension patients, Frederick Health achieved:

  • 83% reduction in 30-day hospital readmissions 
  • $5.1 million in cost savings
  • 50% reduction in ED visits

Learn More

Frederick Health's CCM telehealth program targeted high-risk patients with an increased risk of hospitalization, including COPD, CHF, diabetes, AFib and hypertension, among others. The solution allowed the CCM clinical team to monitor patient vitals and medication adherence, provide disease-specific education to patients, and improve patient-clinical communication. The telehealth team now performs daily and weekly check-in calls, virtual visits to resolve medication discrepancies, and home visits depending on the patients’ health status. The program has allowed them to prioritize high-risk patients, improving their quality of life while saving them millions in costs.

3HC-logo

Among heart failure patients, 3HC achieved the following:

  • 29% lower hospital readmission rate than medicare average
  • 96% patient satisfaction rate

Learn More

In April 2020, 3HC expanded its telehealth program, offering a mobile app solution to its patients. Initially targeting heart failure patients already equipped with monitoring devices such as blood pressure cuffs, the mobile telehealth platform is now offered to 3HC patients across numerous high-risk patient populations, including heart attack, AFib, cardiac surgery, and joint replacement surgery. With multiple platforms available to patients, 3HC can offer each patient an individualized care solution. This has resulted in reduced readmissions and increased utilization, patient engagement, and patient satisfaction.

Avera

For high-risk cardiac patients, Avera@Home achieved the following:

  • 6.1% hospitalization rate
  • 7.9% ED Visit rate
  • 95% patient satisfaction rate

Learn More

In 2019, Avera@Home launched a pilot telehealth and remote patient monitoring (RPM) cardiac program. In coordination with the Avera Heart Hospital, Avera@Home’s pilot program targeted high-risk cardiac patients to enhance outpatient care, mitigate patient anxiety, and reduce hospital readmissions and ED visits. Within six months, Avera@Home’s pilot program achieved a 3.6% overall 30-day hospital readmission rate and recorded a 95% patient satisfaction rate.

Hackensack-Meridian-Health

With HRS’ RPM solutions, Hackensack was able to:

  • Reduce cardiac readmissions by 71%
  • Increase medication adherence to 84%
  • Achieve an adherence to weight recording of 89.82%

Learn More

HRS, Hackensack University Medical Center, and Holy Name Hospital launched a multidisciplinary study to evaluate the impact of an advanced practice, nurse-directed patient education approach to heart failure treatment while integrating an interactive 4G android tablet. Patients utilizing the tablet had an 8% readmission rate compared with a 28% readmission rate for patients who did not receive a tablet. This enabled both Jackensack and Holy Name to reduce their Medicare penalty by preventing 5 excess readmissions. The average New Jersey hospital is losing approximately $25,000 for these types of readmissions.
