There's still room for growth in the RPM and telehealth space -- but savvy solution providers know that it's still a competitive market. Here's how RPM and Telehealth providers can gain a competitive edge by taking into account these 5 vital factors.
With the increasing prevalence of cloud migration and hybrid work, the traditional network perimeter model has undergone significant changes and is no longer fully protected. This shift has resulted in the need for RPM and telehealth devices to trust the applications and devices of connected users, allowing unrestricted flow of application traffic. To address the reliability and security concerns of device connectivity, it is crucial to integrate embedded private connectivity solutions into RPM and telehealth devices, eliminating the reliance on patients' WiFi or internet connections. By doing so, the risks associated with device connectivity are minimized, ensuring reliable and secure communication.
The proliferation of mismatched point solutions for threat detection and prevention can end up creating complexity rather than end-to-end awareness. An IoT and data management platform that provides visibility and management capabilities – all under one user-friendly interface – is ideal.
Healthcare providers often lack visibility into their devices or rely on the solution provider to provide such oversight. It is invaluable to onboard with an automated, easy-to-deploy solution for managing and protecting devices and the transfer of data. This can either be managed by the providers’ IT or security personnel or can be outsourced to the solutions provider or outside partner.
Solution providers need to ensure the solutions offered will meet their own technological and scalability needs into the future, as well as those of the healthcare providers. With finite staff resources, how do companies offering RPM and telehealth solutions have access to trained staff and address seasonal labor force demands? Procurement, cleansing, kitting and logistics require time and labor, sometimes only needed as demand surges arise. Being able to adapt to such changes and retain qualified staff can impact operations and the bottom line.
Finding a partner that can fulfill those needs allows for solution providers to remain competitive and flexible, as well as being able to get to market sooner and scale quickly as the business grows.
In the healthcare provider setting, much time is spent responding to false negatives or doing manual legwork to prepare reports. Solution
providers that can take on this type of work increase their value. In turn, solution providers can turn to easy-to-use monitoring platforms or
contract a partner to manage such tasks.
