Introduction

Remote Patient Monitoring (RPM) was designed to make healthcare more proactive. The idea was simple: collect patient data regularly, spot red flags early, and act before small issues became big ones. 

But here’s what we often see today --> Devices are active, data flows in, yet patients still end up in the hospital. 

Why? Because collecting data alone doesn’t improve outcomes. Acting on it does. 

Where RPM Stumbles 

• Data Overload, Action Underdelivered
  Many RPM programs flood providers with alerts but lack a clear process to act on them. A 2023 study revealed that nearly 41% of RPM alerts go unreviewed within 72 hours, primarily due to workflow inefficiencies and staffing limitations (JAMA Network Open, 2023). 

•  Patient Drop-Off 
  Engagement starts strong but fades quickly if patients don’t see real outcomes. Research shows RPM adherence drops by 36% after the first 60 days without timely follow-ups or provider touchpoints (Nature Digital Medicine, 2022). 

•  The Risk of Non-Compliance 
  The Office of Inspector General (OIG) has raised red flags regarding RPM billing. From lack of clinical review to the absence of follow-up action, several programs have been called out for billing practices without clear care interventions or proof of medical necessity (OIG Report, 2022). 

What the OIG Report Uncovered 

The OIG's findings show critical gaps in RPM execution: 

• Incomplete Services: 43% of Medicare RPM users didn’t receive all three components: data collection, transmission, and review. 

• Fraud Risks: Concerns over improper billing practices for RPM. 

• Data Gaps: Missing critical information such as the ordering provider on claims 

• Limited Oversight: There was no clear indication of what data was being reviewed or if it triggered any care actions at all. 

These are not just compliance issues—they are signs of missed care opportunities. 

How CLINICUS Solves These Challenges

At Sciometrix, we built CLINICUS to move RPM beyond passive monitoring. Here's how: 

✅ End-to-End RPM Delivery

We don’t just collect and transmit data—we ensure every patient is reviewed, followed up, and managed according to clinical protocols. 

✅ Complete Documentation & Transparency

Our platform aligns with CMS and OIG guidelines, ensuring accurate and compliant documentation at every step. 

✅ Timely Care Escalation

Critical alerts aren’t just flagged—they're prioritized, tracked, and acted on, minimizing review delays and ensuring nothing gets missed. 

✅ Smart Scheduling Based on Repeated Alerts

CLINICUS continuously monitors patient trends. When it detects recurring critical readings—like persistently high blood pressure or unstable glucose—it automatically triggers an appointment setup workflow. 
No guesswork. No waiting for symptoms to escalate. Just the right care, at the right time. 

✅ Re-engagement of At-Risk Patients

Our workflows help re-engage patients who drop off after the first month—closing the gap between alerts and actual provider touchpoints. 

The Future of RPM Isn’t Just Smarter. It’s More Action-Oriented 

Remote monitoring will continue to grow. But success won’t come from more devices or more data. It’ll come from more meaningful engagement, and the confidence that every alert, every number, and every trend leads to real action. 

CLINICUS is designed to make that shift happen. 

If you’re ready to make RPM work better for both patients and providers, we’re here to help.
