PHILADELPHIA, May 15, 2024
/PRNewswire/ -- Impilo, a leader in remote patient monitoring (RPM)
solutions, is pleased to announce the release of its latest white
paper, "Enhancing Rural Healthcare Access through Remote Patient
Monitoring." This paper explores the challenges faced by rural
communities in accessing quality healthcare and highlights how
Remote Patient Monitoring (RPM) is assisting in providing quality
care to patients from the comfort of their homes.
Rural communities across the United
States are home to nearly 20% of the population, yet they
often face significant barriers in accessing healthcare services.
Limited resources, shortage of healthcare providers, and
geographical challenges contribute to delays in care, poorer health
outcomes, and increased mortality rates for individuals with
chronic conditions. Providers and healthcare organizations alike
are emphasizing the urgent need for innovative solutions to improve
healthcare access in rural areas.
Remote Patient Monitoring emerges as a solution to address these
challenges. By allowing patients to monitor their health from home,
RPM reduces the need for frequent trips to healthcare facilities,
leading to cost savings and improved patient outcomes. Our
observation details the implementation of RPM programs in rural
healthcare settings and highlights the success of initiatives such
as The Good Food Rx, by the Arkansas Rural Health Partnership
(ARHP).
"By utilizing remote monitoring tools and centralizing their
information, ARHP is able to challenge traditional healthcare
delivery and provide care to patients that previously had limited
access to care facilities. Together, we're making a difference in
healthcare access for communities in need." - Josh Stein, CEO & Founder of Impilo
The Good Food Rx initiative, funded by the USDA Delta Healthcare
Services grant, aims to improve health outcomes by providing
healthy food options to seniors with chronic diseases experiencing
food insecurity. Through this initiative, ARHP has demonstrated the
positive impact of RPM on health outcomes and patient satisfaction
in rural Arkansas.
Impilo is committed to advancing healthcare access in rural
communities through virtual care solutions, such as RPM. The white
paper serves as a call to action for stakeholders of Rural Health
clinics to invest in virtual care programs and support initiatives
that improve healthcare access for all.
