How Nurse Practitioners Improve Patient Care and Increase Profitability with BodySite’s Remote Patient Care Solution
Nurse Practitioners are changing the landscape of the healthcare industry. Not only are Nurse Practitioners providing an equal standard of care as their physician counterparts [1], but they’re defying dated healthcare practices by asking vital questions, and seeking routes of preventative care and lifestyle intervention in order to help patients avoid unnecessary procedures, medications and/or health complications.
If you’re employing the assistance of a nurse practitioner in your larger practice, you already know how valuable an asset they are to your overall team. And if you’re an NP practicing independently or within a larger practice, you already know you want to use all of the tools available, to succeed.
Preventative care and lifestyle guidance are excellent ways to help patients achieve improved overall health, but it’s impossible to provide patients with the education and support they need every day for successful outcomes in one short office visit.
That’s why Nurse Practitioners across the globe are utilizing Remote Patient Care tools to improve patient care and increase profitability. Remote Patient Care solutions have revolutionized healthcare delivery, allowing NPs to provide effective care and support to patients in between office visits.
What is Remote Patient Care?
Remote Patient Care is an umbrella term for digital tools and technology that allow providers to care for their patients in between office visits, virtually and remotely in place of face-to-face encounters when appropriate.
A comprehensive Remote Patient Care solution can facilitate seamless monitoring and engagement between Nurse Practitioners and their patients. This type of technology is designed to streamline the process of Remote Patient Care, enabling healthcare providers to deliver high-quality care from anywhere.
Remote Patient Care Tools for NPs
Here are a few Remote Patient Care tools that are invaluable for NPs seeking to help patients in between office visits…
-
- Automated Patient Education
- Remote Patient Monitoring
- Telemedicine
- HIPAA-Compliant Messaging
Let’s take a look at some of these tools and discuss how they can be put into practice, in your practice.
Automated patient education is the use of technology to send patients daily information, tasks, and resources to meet their health goals. This technology empowers NPs to provide daily guidance to patients efficiently, enabling them to take a proactive role in every one of their patient’s healthcare journeys, automatically.
With remote patient monitoring tools, NPs can access patient data in one easy-to-view dashboard. As patients sync their connected health devices or manually track their progress and health data, NPs can make recommendations, enabling early intervention.
Telemedicine capabilities also facilitate virtual consultations, bringing convenience and accessibility to patients, while HIPAA-compliant messaging ensures secure communication and continuity of care.
How Remote Patient Care Empowers Nurse Practitioners
Utilizing Remote Patient Care tools can empower Nurse Practitioners to enhance patient care in several ways. It provides tools for patient education, self-management, and secure messaging, fostering better engagement and adherence to treatment plans.
Through remote consultations and virtual visits, Nurse Practitioners can provide timely care, reducing wait times and increasing accessibility for patients. Real-time health data tracking and alerts enable Nurse Practitioners to monitor patients remotely, allowing for early intervention and personalized care plans.
How NPs Can Generate Revenue Using Remote Care
Remote Patient Care tools offer avenues for Nurse Practitioners to generate revenue while delivering exceptional care. Using these tools, Nurse Practitioners can expand their caseload and reach patients beyond the constraints of their office walls.
Here are a few ways you can generate revenue using the BodySite Remote Patient Care Platform:
- Using reimbursement opportunities by providing coding guidelines for billable remote patient monitoring (RPM) services.
- Charging for telemedicine visits
- Creating care remote packages for patients
- Charging patients a subscription to the BodySite platform
While charging for RPM and telehealth is fairly common among healthcare professionals, more NPs are taking advantage of the opportunity to offer their patients more care using Remote Patient Care tools. By charging patients for an automated care program, a custom package of services, or charging subscription access to the care platform.
BodySite automates Remote Patient Care so you and your patients can save time and reach improved outcomes. Patients often pay for products and services from retailers that claim to improve their health but don’t.
