Assessing the Expected Costs of Continuous Remote Monitoring for Post-Discharge Home Use and the Readmission Reduction Required to Achieve Cost Neutrality

Continuous remote monitoring offers a solution to post-discharge patients at risk of short-term deterioration and readmission. If one readmission is prevented per every 29 patients monitored, the approach has the potential to achieve cost-neutrality. Future studies are needed to validate these estimates and determine whether reductions in readmissions and actual cost savings can be achieved in practice.
