What is Remote Patient Care?

TriHealth Remote Patient Care, sometimes called Remote Patient Monitoring, is a way for a Care Team to stay connected to you. This service enhances your provider's care through a Care Team nurse and pharmacist who gather your health information, track your biometrics, such as blood pressure, and provide information that may help your condition.

How does it work?

Your primary care provider will refer you to one of the Remote Patient Care programs best fit for your needs. Each day, you track your metrics, such as blood pressure or weight, and answer short questions on your smartphone about your condition. The information is shared with your Care Team to help them assess your progress and identify areas where you might need additional support. The Care Team will support your health journey through coaching, education, and tips about your health.

Benefits of participating

  • Receive individualized health counseling Monday through Friday 8 a.m. to 4 p.m.
  • Participate in the program conveniently from home.
  • Prevent future health issues, unnecessary emergency room visits, or hospital stays.

Frequently Asked Questions

Why am I being invited to participate?

You have been identified by your Primary Care Provider as someone who will benefit from participating because of your health status. The purpose of the program is to help you learn how to self-manage your condition so you can stay healthy.

How much time will this take?

On most days, your participation will take less than 5 minutes and a little longer if you spend time connecting virtually with the Care Team. You will receive notifications on your smartphone daily to remind you to provide some quick and easy data in the most convenient way possible. Some days you will receive follow up questions.

Is there a cost to the program?

Many insurance companies cover Remote Patient Care Programs, but coverage will vary depending on your insurance company and policy. A Care Team member can provide you with service codes to review with your insurance provider before beginning the program.
