Home-monitoring technology is a somewhat rare example of highly
effective healthcare information technology that patients "get."
Clinical and IT professionals throughout the United States and
Europe demonstrate that patients quickly understand and grow
to value telemonitoring as a tool to take charge of their own
health. Healthcare providers involved with home telemonitoring
programs report significant direct and indirect benefits for
all stakeholders, as well as a number of lessons learned when
working with patients, clinical and medical staff, healthcare
administrators and board members and third-party payors. Despite
decades of successes, health telemonitoring technologies are
still relatively untapped. However, new technologies are reaching
the marketplace. Demographic and regulatory shifts are pushing
stakeholders toward a new frontier in telemonitoring. Based
on their own experiences and an extensive literature review,
the authors conclude: the new frontier of home telemedicine
is here. Where are you? |
