Remote Patient Monitoring (RPM) on Emergency Room Visits, Hospitalizations, Hospital Contacts, and Patient Quality of Life

Overview

About this study

Hypothesis: We hypothesize that patients from the Family Medicine Department at Mayo Clinic Florida who participate in RPM will have significantly reduced emergency room visits, hospitalizations, and hospital contacts.

Aims, purpose, or objectives: In this study, we will compare the RPM group to a control group that does not receive RPM. The primary objective is to determine if there are significant group differences in emergency room visits, hospitalizations, outpatient primary care visits, outpatient specialty care visits, and hospital contacts (inbound patient portal messages and phone calls). The secondary objective is to determine if there are significant group differences in quality of life (using the SF-12 survey).
