Remote Patient Monitoring - Home Telehealth (RPM-HT)

Provide Remote Patient Monitoring - Home Telehealth (RPM-HT) services and supplies aligning to the VA Mission Act to meet the needs of U.S. military Veterans.

Veterans use the RPM-HT technologies to upload vital signs, clinical question responses, and other measurements that can help them self-manage their condition and alert caregivers or medical personnel to the need for
active care/case management, including referral for clinic and/or hospital care. This data includes but is not limited to the following: blood glucose, blood pressure, pulse, temperature, weight, pain, and pulse oximetry in accordance with industry standard. All these measurements are obtained from peripheral devices (except pain which is subjective and manually entered using a Likert Scale). Peripheral devices are provided with the RPM-HT platform and transmit this data by wire or wireless connection, or self-reported via manual entry. The data is sent to a Care Coordinator Web Viewer (CCWV), also on the Contractor(s) website. The data is then available for the purposes of managing the health conditions of the Veterans.

The RPM-HT platforms automatically send all data collected in near real time transmission to a Contractor’s servers located within the secure VA hosted environment. In addition, to collecting vital sign data, patients are presented with a series of questions each day in the form of Disease Management Protocols (DMPs). These DMPs help the Veteran understand their medical condition, communicate symptoms, and modify behaviors to prevent the need for emergency room visits and hospital admissions.
