Financial Data Matter
■ Understand your return on investment
(ROI), collect and analyze the data that
will demonstrate ROI.
■ Develop business partner relationships.

■ Partnership/collaboration with the
organization’s chief financial officer
is important to collect and analyze
financial data.

Planning and Looking Ahead

■ Plan to expand the program to a larger
number of patients. Take into account
the possibility of linking projects into
partnerships with payers, hospitals,
Patient-Centered Medical Homes and
accountable care organizations (ACO).

■ As health care organizations work to
form integrated delivery networks or
become ACOs in order to leverage a
more streamlined health care model,
the system-wide embrace of telehealth
solutions as a communication bridge
for the patient discharge process, can
(quite literally) be the missing link.
The case studies presented here represent great ex-
amples of using telehealth and RPM products. Each
case study demonstrates how using telehealth and
RPM has impacted each organization, and in turn
the care they provide. Building upon the experi-
ence of these organizations can help other providers
write their own success stories and case studies.
