Dissemination of Remote Patient Monitoring: An Academic-Community Primary Care Partnership in South Carolina.

ABSTRACT:

Context

Remote patient monitoring (RPM) for diabetes and hypertension may reduce barriers to patient care, leading to improved disease control and decreased morbidity and mortality.

Program

We describe the implementation of a community-academic partnership to improve diabetes and hypertension control for underserved populations using RPM.

Implementation

In 2014, our academic medical center (AMC) began working with community health centers (CHCs) to implement a centrally monitored RPM program for patients with diabetes. AMC nurses recruited, trained, and supported community partners through regular communication. Community sites were responsible for enrollment, follow-up visits, and all treatment adjustments.

Evaluation

More than 1350 patients have been enrolled
