Knowledge is Power in Connected Health<\/span><\/h3>\n<\/div><\/section>\n

By Greg Lillegard<\/p>\n<\/div><\/section>\n

Connected Health is a nuanced topic, with many names often used in its place: telehealth, telemedicine, mHealth, remote patient monitoring and remote care. \u00a0Regardless of the name used, it is an exciting area of growth in professional medical devices, and the old saying, \u201cknowledge is power\u201d is exceedingly true in Connected Health. The rapid advancement of technology in telehealth, combined with consumer comfort using IoT devices, allows healthcare providers more data and more timely data than they could have hoped for just a few years ago, much to the benefit of all parties.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/section>\n

As providers are discovering, the primary benefit of Connected Health is an influx of reliable data, which makes diagnosis and treatment, especially of chronic conditions, more cost effective and efficient. \u00a0In the past, healthcare providers often lacked faith in handwritten measurement logs. \u00a0Were they accurate or recorded at the stated times? \u00a0Were some \u201cpoor\u201d readings excluded?<\/p>\n

Now, measurements are logged automatically, which reduces error and confusion and increases reliability and consistency. \u00a0The new, more trustworthy data empowers healthcare providers to make better, faster, and more informed decisions, as well as improving the timeliness of their patient communication.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/section><\/div>\n

Beyond having better, more complete and up-to-date data, providers often find that patients are more compliant with treatment due to their engagement in the process.<\/p>\n

Providers also have the advantage of recommending connected home monitoring devices, which typically come with mobile apps that can be downloaded for free.<\/p>\n

Patients can send their data via email at regular intervals, or if a threshold is met, they can call the office for additional instructions.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/section><\/div>\n

Further, Connected Health allows patients without easy access to providers \u2013 due to distance or disability \u2013 a more direct line of communication with their healthcare team. \u00a0While access to healthcare is frequently a topic in the news, more patients yet can be reached as additional providers adopt Connected Health technologies and CPT codes that enable streamlined remote patient care.<\/p>\n

Regardless of the method providers use when implementing Connected Health in their practice, the benefit remains the same: knowledge. \u00a0And the resulting empowerment and efficiency often makes providers wish they had made the change sooner. \u00a0For the foreseeable future, Connected Health will continue to transform the practice of medicine, allowing for more cost savings, efficiency and increased patient satisfaction at every stage of the patient\u2019s journey.<\/p>\n
