This episode is sponsored by Athelas, the number one provider of remote patient monitoring.

“At the beginning of my time as a CMIO, I needed to remain clinical to build camaraderie with my colleagues. This proved essential as the health system was going through a transition to a new EMR. The medical staff needed to know that every decision I made affected me as much as it affected them.

As time went on and the EMR matured, it became less relevant if I practiced and more critical to perform as a change agent. However, I elected to still practice in a part-time fashion because of my love for orthopedics. I also recognized the importance of a minority surgeon for the community.”

Nathan Gause is an orthopedic surgeon and former CMIO. Afua Aning is a physician informaticist.

They share their stories and discuss the KevinMD article, “Innovation and the ever-changing role of the CMIO.”

Did you know more than 65 percent of doctors are actively investing in remote patient monitoring?

That’s because RPM is the fastest-growing segment in health care today. And for good reason:

RPM boosts patient outcomes through preventative care. In fact, a recent study by the VA showed that implementing RPM at a practice can reduce hospital readmission rates by as much as 25 percent, saving more than $20,000 per patient in medical costs.

If you’re not investing in RPM, you’re missing out. Luckily, Athelas can help you roll out RPM end-to-end. They provide devices to your patients, handle 100 percent of billing, and even provide a team of nurses to monitor patient vitals for you. All at zero net cost to your practice.

Try out RPM for your practice by going to KevinMD.com/tryrpm.
