Role of the clinician in remote patient monitoring: Skills development through curriculum
Abstract
Healthcare spending is increasing exponentially
secondary to unstable and ineffective chronic disease
management. Remote patient monitoring (RPM) is of key interest
to address related health disparities. Purpose: The purpose of this
project is to explore the educational needs of clinicians and suggest
how to build RPM curriculum that supports clinicians. Project
Description Utilizing a popular nursing education model where data
management, technology, patient safety/quality and nurses’ roles
intersect, this project will identify tailored solutions that are
essential to providing this quality service. The project will also
explore reduction of the associated per capita cost. Methodology:
Proposed RPM curricula will be created by student and faculty, then
validated by subject‐matter experts and other evaluations. Clinical
expertise, data analytics, industry characteristics, and roles
development will represent the concepts‐based curriculum
components. Results Clinician effectiveness using RPM, patient
satisfaction with RPM, and reduction in costs will be targets for
successful implementation
