How Effective EMR Integration Creates Successful RPM Programs

There are many features that are crucial for remote patient monitoring (RPM) programs to succeed. From intuitive platform design to no-cost device deployment, several factors play significant roles in whether an RPM implementation thrives or fails.

However, one feature stands out as the most critical for RPM management and scalable success: EMR Integration.

EMR Integration + RPM

Remote patient monitoring services that integrate directly into existing Electronic Medical Record (EMR) systems result in zero interruption to workflows and no increase in administrative labor.

Without EMR integration, clinical staff are forced to work within two different systems, reducing efficiency and increasing workload. With effective EMR integration, this hassle is removed, leaving clinics with an easy-to-use platform designed to automatically function within the system they already know best.

Easy to Use, Easy to Scale

With EMR integration, RPM platforms can be used by staff of any technical skill level. This results in faster RPM program launches, reduced training costs, and automation that lessens the workload for clinics and providers.

Because RPM increases the volume of patient touchpoints, data, and reports, all of this information must be reflected in a clinic’s existing medical record system to maintain smooth operations and management.

This integration also enables more effective, automated scalability. By eliminating the need to operate two systems, EMR integration allows clinics to take on more patients without adding strain to their clinical staff.

Key Benefits of EMR Integration

EMR integration improves several processes for RPM implementation and long-term management.

One key example is digitally signed referrals. With EMR integration, patient referrals flow directly from the EMR into accuRPM’s service provider processes. This speeds up patient onboarding and enables a seamless transition from initiating a visit to setting up telemonitoring services—all with a single click in the EMR.

Additionally, EMR integration ensures that measurable data from remote monitoring care is accurately tracked, improving value-based care delivery. It also enhances reporting and sharing of risk scores and clinical results between insurance providers and clinics.

Choosing the Right Provider

While EMR integration is critical, choosing a provider that already offers robust, proven integration is just as important.

Some providers fail to deliver truly seamless integration into clinical EMR systems, which can cause frequent issues with long-term RPM management.

In contrast, effective RPM service providers—such as Tellihealth—ensure complete, automatic integration of biometric data and reports from accuRPM into EMR systems. This makes delivering remote care easier for practitioners and increases the clinic’s ability to scale its RPM program successfully.

Any clinic considering a move to virtual care should make sure EMR integration is a core feature when selecting an RPM provider.
