EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
Executive SummaryRemote Patient Monitoring (RPM) will transform current practices in chronic disease care from ongoing or continual acute care episodes to a more proactive approach that empowers a patient to return to their benchmark threshold of health through appropriate device monitoring, behaviour modification and interaction with care providers – all remotely. RPM also ensures that vital clinical information is collected once, securely transmitted, and then shared with all the appropriate healthcare team members involved in the patient’s care.

DEFINING THE MARKET
Telehealth……………………….Is the use of electronic information and telecommunications technologies to support long-distance clinical health care, patient and professional health-related education, public health and health administration.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Remote_patient_monitoring
Remote Patient MonitoringRefers to services that use various point-of-care technologies to monitor a patient’s physiological status and health conditions. When combined with personalised health education within a chronic disease management programme, it can significantly improve an individual’s health and quality of life. Typically, it involves electronic sensors or equipment that monitors vital health signs remotely from home or while on the move. Readings are automatically transmitted to an appropriately trained person who can monitor the health vital signs and make decisions about potential interventions in real time, without the patient needing to attend a clinic.
Observations of Daily Living (ODL)• Health information and intelligence are beginning to reach outside of the current health information technology infrastructure and into the everyday lives of people• This technology-enabled, person-centered care will be crucial as the population ages and the healthcare delivery system continues its transformation.• ODL capitalises on what happens to a person’s health during day-to-day living and is captured using technologies such as active and passive sensors, mobile devices, patient-generated health data and information.• The aim is the early identification of sometimes subtle changes in a person’s health in order to invoke the required interventions necessary to maintain and improve one’s health.• “health happens every day,” and the benefits of understanding what is going on with a patient’s condition on a day-to-day basis has been demonstrated to assist both patients and clinicians to effectively manage health problems—particularly chronic conditions

BENEFITS
More than Data…• When providers began testing the concept of remote patient monitoring as a way to track patients outside a clinical setting, nobody was sure how well it would work. Now, the practice is booming, with some of the largest insurers and high-tech companies in the world participating in pilot programs.• Hospitals and technology companies are involved in multiple pilot programs that track patients from their homes after they are discharged from the hospital or monitor patients with chronic illnesses "passively" to track their everyday movements in an attempt to identify problems before they become serious. In both approaches, the goal is to keep patients healthier and generate savings by preventing expensive emergency department visits and hospitalizations.• “Having reliable data about a patient's condition is essential to responding to changes at the earliest possible time and preventing deterioration of their condition or even death," says Ben Kanter, chief medical information officer for Palomar Health, which operates three hospitals in San Diego County.

Benefits to Healthcare• The U.S. healthcare system could reduce costs by nearly $200 billion over the next 25 years by using remote monitoring technology in patients with of congestive heart failure, chronic obstructive pulmonary disease, and chronic wounds or skin ulcers, says a report from the Center for Technology and Aging.• Results from more than 260,000 patients implanted with either pacemakers or defibrillators demonstrated that patients with high adherence to remote monitoring had more than twice (2.4x) the probability of survival than that of patients without remote monitoring. Furthermore, the data suggest that, irrespective of whether a patient has a pacemaker or defibrillator, higher use of remote monitoring is associated with better survival. Although these associations require further investigation, these important observations should have significant implications for individual patient care and best-practice guidelines.

For Patients• For patients the ultimate goal for RPM is to return to their individual optimal level of health. This involves increased compliance to interventions and medications and will result in reducing ER and inpatient stays. The ability to actively engage in their overall health management in the privacy and security of their own home empowers patients to optimize their health in a proactive, personalized and consistent way so that the quality of their life is enhanced and extended.• Healthcare practitioners will have the consistent and timely patient information they need to proactively and more efficiently manage their patients through enhanced best practice ultimately improving patient outcomes.• Healthcare systems will benefit overall with reduced costs for preventable acute care episodes for chronic disease patients, thereby reducing the overall cost per patient. Consistent and reliable data will allow for further evidence based research, trending and forecasting in CDM.• Current trends and studies show a good adaptability by the aged population to the high level of technical knowledge required to operate these home bedside monitoring systems, although it will remain a challenge for the industry in the coming few years

Conclusions• As the population ages and more people are diagnosed with single and multiple chronic diseases, pressure on healthcare systems will continue to rise. Inadequate treatment plans for complex illnesses results in patient compliance issues and potential health complications that require acute interventions, driving up costs on already over-burdened acute care settings. • Using technology as an enabler we are now able to transition to a new model of care for patients with chronic disease where healthcare is provided in the home. Although these complex illnesses can not be cured, they do lend themselves to daily clinical monitoring in a patient’s home/self-care environment with an interactive remote patient monitoring system.

Organisations• 3 Million Lives – 3millionlives is underpinned by the idea of service integration to improve patient care and outcomes. When different services and sectors work together, towards shared goals, patients get far more flexible, better, and more appropriate care. To achieve true service integration, we recognise that 3millionlives needs to be delivered through a genuine partnership across NHS England – facilitating collaboration between clinicians, and empowering patients to better self-manage their conditions, with the use of technology. We also recognise that this cannot be achieved through technology alone – the key will be to deliver service transformation through realising the potential of that technology to support clinicians, patients and carers. - http://3millionlives.co.uk/

Whole System Demonstrator Trial in UK (WSD)• The Whole System Demonstrator (WSD) programme is the largest randomised control trial of telehealth and telecare in the world.• It involves 6191 patients, 238 GP practices across three sites, Newham, Kent and Cornwall. WSD was set up to look at cost effectiveness, clinical effectiveness, organisational issues, effect on carers and workforce issues. It focused on three conditions, diabetes, COPD and coronary heart disease. • Early headline findings (DEC 2011)
The early indications show that if used correctly telehealth can deliver a 15% reduction in A&E visits, a 20% reduction in emergency admissions, a 14% reduction in elective admissions, a 4% reduction in bed days and an 8% reduction in tariff costs. More strikingly they also demonstrate a 45% reduction in mortality rates.
