In recent years, remote patient monitoring (RPM) has become an increasingly popular healthcare service method. This technology has been instrumental in mental health care, where patients often require continuous monitoring and support. In this blog post, we’ll explore the benefits of remote patient monitoring in mental health care and how it can improve patient outcomes.

What is Remote Patient Monitoring (RPM)?

Remote patient monitoring uses technology to monitor client health and clinical data outside traditional healthcare settings. This can include wearable devices, mobile apps, and telehealth services. RPM allows healthcare providers to monitor patient progress, manage symptoms, and provide support between in-person visits. Additionally, RPM allows for collecting large amounts of patient data, which clinicians can use to improve the accuracy of diagnoses and the effectiveness of treatments.

The Benefits of Remote Patient Monitoring in Mental Health Care

Benefits for Clients:

1. Convenient Care: RPM provides additional mental health support for patients from the comfort of their own homes. This reduces the need for travel and expenses associated with in-person visits.
2. Personalized Care: RPM allows personalized mental health care plans based on each patient’s needs. Patients can be monitored and treated in real-time, allowing for early intervention.
3. Improved Outcomes: RPM helps patients to monitor their progress, improve adherence to treatment plans, and take preventative measures to manage their mental health. This can lead to improved outcomes and a reduction in hospitalizations.
4. Access to Care: RPM provides access to mental health care for patients in remote or underserved areas. Patients can receive care from the comfort of their own homes, reducing travel and expenses associated with in-person visits. 
5. More effective in-person sessions: RPM can make in-person therapy sessions more effective. By monitoring a patient’s progress between sessions, therapists can come prepared to sessions with a better understanding of what’s working and what’s not. This can lead to more targeted discussions and interventions during in-person sessions, resulting in more progress toward mental health goals.

Benefits for Therapists and Therapy Clinics:

1. Increased Efficiency: RPM allows therapists and therapy clinics to provide care to more patients in less time, resulting in increased efficiency and productivity.
2. Improved Data Collection: RPM allows therapists and therapy clinics to collect large amounts of patient data, which can improve the accuracy of diagnoses and the effectiveness of treatments.
3. Better Quality Care: RPM allows therapists and therapy clinics to monitor patient progress in real-time, providing the ability to respond quickly to changes in a client’s health status.
4. Improved Patient Engagement and Compliance: RPM can help increase patient engagement and compliance with treatment plans. Using an app or other digital tools to track progress, patients become more involved in their treatment. Taking an active role can lead to increased motivation to work towards their mental health goals. This can improve compliance with therapy and treatment plans, leading to better outcomes and fewer missed appointments.
5. Increased Revenue: RPM can help therapists and clinics bill for additional CPT codes. Remote monitoring can be counted towards the time spent on treatment planning and coordination, which are billable under various CPT codes. This can result in increased revenue and better reimbursement for the time spent on non-face-to-face patient care.
