From Theory to Practice: Implementing Remote Monitoring in Your Clinic-Video - From Theory to Practice: Implementing Remote Monitoring in Your Clinic

Video Summary

Lisa Rathman, lead heart failure NP at Penn Medicine Lancaster General Health, explains how to implement a remote hemodynamic monitoring program in practice. She reviews evidence on ambulatory hemodynamic monitoring programs, then focuses on patient selection, emphasizing difficult volume management, frequent heart failure admissions, long travel distance, and willingness to transmit data and adjust therapy. She outlines CMS coverage requirements, including chronic heart failure, recent symptoms/events, optimized GDMT, access to connectivity, and documentation of criteria before implant. The talk stresses thorough patient education, daily transmissions, and clear workflow ownership. Rathman also covers implant and follow-up management: calibrating targets from right heart cath, tracking pressure trends rather than single readings, responding to 3–5 mmHg changes, and evaluating causes such as diet, medications, arrhythmias, or sleep apnea. She closes with program-building advice: secure leadership support, create a multidisciplinary team, and standardize billing and monitoring workflows.
