Bring Your Own (Health Monitoring) Device: Progress and Challenge
At Partners Connected Health, we’ve been working on each of these issues, using a new ‘bring your own device’ (BYOD) infrastructure and a process that democratizes the deployment of remote patient monitoring devices. But let me back up for a moment.
For several years, we managed remote monitoring programmatically. We had dedicated staff, a preferred solution and managed our own device inventory. We reasoned that the best use case for remote monitoring was in the context of our value-based payer contracts and that the deliberate roll out of this care model would make the most sense. The logic was good, but the costs of maintaining inventory were simply too high.
