Struggling to Connect: 2021 State of Remote Cardiac Monitoring
While many cardiology practices across the united states have remote cardiac monitoring (rcm) programs, only a few are realizing the full potential of rcm to improve patient care.
RCM workflows, learning curves complicated by rapid technology advances, reimbursements, patient compliance, data management and integration are some of the many struggles facing cardiac practices today. Despite the challenges, remote cardiac monitoring is an essential standard of care for heart disease patients. It empowers patients and providers to improve and prolong patients’ lives.
Drawn from a survey of more than 110 cardiology practices across the US, Vector’s 2021 State of Remote Cardiac Monitoring Report includes:
- Data to help cardiology practices understand how remote cardiac monitoring programs vary widely from practice to practice with different levels of success.
- Insights on the challenges cardiology practices face when trying to implement and sustain a successful remote cardiac monitoring program.
- A discussion on the degree to which cardiology practices are incorporating modalities beyond rhythm management into their remote cardiac monitoring programs.
- Details on how successful programs — those that achieve high levels of enrollment, financial sustainability, and improved patient outcomes and satisfaction — achieve their results.
TESTIMONIALS
The reviews are in…
“Our team’s success story in remote cardiac care is a testament to what can be achieved through strategic partnership and specialized technology. By overcoming significant barriers like patient connectivity and staff burden, we have enhanced patient engagement and satisfaction and set a new standard for operational efficiency in the healthcare industry. This model is not only replicable but essential for future advancements in cardiac rhythm management.”
“Utilizing Vector in our clinic to assist with the management of our remote device checks has been a big time savings to our staff. It has taken a labor intensive process and streamlined it allowing staff to focus their attention on the more urgent matters related to device management.”
“No extra work at all. Vector does all of the heavy lifting to set up our HF report program, the majority of HF reports are normal without significant impedance change. It’s so easy”
