Remote Patient Monitoring
Remote patient monitoring allows providers to track and manage their
patients' health from afar.
While remote patient monitoring was only modestly implemented before the
pandemic, early in the COVID-19 public health emergency Medicare and
commercial payers made changes to encourage the use of remote patient
monitoring.
In the wake of these changes, Mitchell Tang and colleagues illuminate
how health care providers have responded and how patients use remote
patient monitoring services
.
Tang and colleagues determine that the use of general remote patient
monitoring increased more than fourfold during the COVID-19 pandemic,
with a small share of primary care providers driving most of the use.
They estimate that full deployment of remote patient monitoring could
generate $175,000 in revenue per primary care provider per year.
"The growth rates and persistence patterns observed in our analysis
indicate that total spending on remote patient monitoring could quickly
escalate," Tang and colleagues note.
Authors Mitchell Tang and Ateev Mehrotra will join us for a detailed
discussion of the paper's data, methods, and policy conclusions on
September 15 as part of our Journal Club event for Health Affairs
Insiders
.

Today in Health Affairs Forefront, Lauren Brinkley-Rubinstein and
coauthors discuss the lack of centralized tracking of monkeypox cases in
carceral facilities
or guidance for prisons and jails from the CDC or state health
departments.
Leighton Ku and Sara Rosenbaum argue that overturning fifty years of
statutory precedent allowing access to courts for Medicaid beneficiaries
could produce a profound and harmful effect on the health and well-being
of millions of Americans.
