Advancing Rheumatology Through Remote Patient Monitoring
In our latest ‘Insights’ episode, recorded live at ACR Convergence 2024 in Washington, DC, we sit down with Karen Salomon-Escoto, Director of the Inflammatory Arthritis Program at the University of Massachusetts (UMass) Medical School in Worcester. Karen delves into the groundbreaking integration of remote patient monitoring (RPM) into rheumatology practice and its potential to transform patient care.
We discuss how UMass is leveraging digital tools like the RAPID-3 questionnaire to monitor patients’ health between visits. Karen shares how real-time data collection is driving proactive care adjustments, optimizing appointment scheduling, and enhancing patient access.
This episode also highlights the critical role of patient education in fostering engagement and adherence to digital tools. Karen envisions a future of continuous, scalable care through virtual care centers and RPM, offering solutions to workforce shortages and improving outcomes for patients with inflammatory arthritis.
Join us for this forward-thinking conversation on the transformative potential of RPM in rheumatology, addressing the growing demand for care and redefining what’s possible in the digital age.
