By - Wisconsin’s Marshfield Clinic Health System will be using a remote patient monitoring platform to improve care management at home for patients with congestive heart failure.
The Wisconsin-based health system will be equipping selected patients in its Heart Failure Improvement Clinic (HFIC) with a telehealth platform and mHealth devices so that those patients can self-monitor at home and collaborate with their care team at any time.
"The … telehealth technology allows us to provide care for our congestive heart failure patients who live in rural areas and face long drives to receive care,” Dr. Narayana Murali, Marshfield’s Executive Vice President and Chief Clinical Strategy Officer, said in a press release. “With lengthy Wisconsin winters and inclement weather, eliminating unnecessary physician visits is another way for us to use innovation to provide the best care for our patients and reduce their health care costs.”
