Remote Patient Monitoring Devices
Evaluate, deploy, and interpret data from remote patient monitoring devices to support chronic disease management.
What this track covers
This track covers the practical side of remote patient monitoring: choosing appropriate devices, setting up data workflows, and troubleshooting connectivity or accuracy issues for common tools like blood pressure cuffs, glucose meters, pulse oximeters, and weight scales. It also addresses how to set clinically meaningful alert thresholds and respond to out-of-range readings across a monitored patient panel.
What you will practice
- Compare RPM device types for accuracy, connectivity, and fit with a patient's condition
- Set up a device and confirm data is flowing correctly into a monitoring platform
- Coach a patient through device use and resolve common transmission errors
- Set alert thresholds that flag clinically actionable changes without excess noise
- Decide when an out-of-range reading warrants outreach versus routine follow-up
Simulator scenario
A patient recently started on RPM sends a string of inconsistent blood pressure readings, and the clinician must sort out device error versus a real clinical change and decide on next steps.
Board question topics
- Selecting RPM devices for specific chronic conditions
- Troubleshooting connectivity and data transmission issues
- Setting clinically appropriate alert thresholds
- Distinguishing device artifact from true clinical change
