New research found that the COVID-19 pandemic led to expanded use of remote patient monitoring, but the increase was largely driven by a small number of primary care providers.
A study published in Health Affairs found that a small fraction of primary care physicians drove a more than four-fold increase in remote patient monitoring (RPM) use during the COVID-19 pandemic.
Even though RPM was being used prior to the COVID-19 pandemic, changes in care delivery amid in-person restrictions led to a significant rise in use.
In this study, researchers aimed to gather data regarding how RPM is used to help educate policymakers as they make decisions regarding regulations and reimbursement for the care modality.
