In March 2020, along with the declaration of COVID-19 as a global pandemic, the repeated recommendation was “stay home, stay safe”. Since isolation was the savior from the pandemic, there was a need for remote health services without face to face contact. This increased the potential of telehealth and telemedicine services.
Telehealth is the digital health care system that uses technologies and virtual channels to bridge the gap between patients and clinicians, enabling them to stay where they are living. This and telemedicine during the critical time of pandemic have enabled patients to get care from home, reducing the risk of virus contraction. These programs not only focused on the treatment of patients but also saved physicians and healthcare workers from the risk of exposure to COVID-19.
RPM (Remote Patient Monitoring)
RPM (Remote Patient Monitoring) is a subset of telehealth that facilitates healthcare monitoring as well as the timely transfer of patient-generated data from the patient to the care team and feedback to the patient. It can surely ease the burden on both providers and patients.
In RPM, consumer-friendly, advanced tech products are used to monitor the health of patients to enhance the comfort level and engagement of patients in their health issues. These devices constantly provide data on patients’ condition while they are living where they want to live, enabling physicians to monitor their health daily.
Difference Between Telehealth and Rpm
Provided the definitions of telehealth and RPM, the question arises: what is the difference between telehealth and RPM? Telehealth is a broader term and refers to a whole set of different methodologies and technologies aimed at providing care from home. On the other hand, RPM uses specific technology to monitor the health of patients. Simply to say, telehealth is an organization and RPM is a single department of it.
