True No-Cost EHR Integration

All patient readings and other biometric recordings are sent securely and autonomously from our telemonitoring devices, via their 4G cellular-enabled chips, received from the cloud, stored within our proprietary software platform, and seamlessly integrated back into your existing Electronic Health Record (EHR).

Real Data. Real Fields.

Truly Seamless EHR Integration

EHR integration is critical for Remote Patient Monitoring success so that the RPM program can integrate into your current workflow and so that you can easily generate quality reports using the RPM data. Many RPM vendors claim "integration," but in reality all they do is scan PDFs; our integration places readings into true data fields in your EHR. With some EHRs, we can even auto-generate RPM claims.

Award Winning Software

All clinical interactions with the patient on the Accuhealth platform are automatically recorded and timestamped, creating a secure audit trail. This audit record is also integrated with the patient’s medical record in the EHR.

Practice-Wide Thresholds

When you and your clinic onboards with us, we will ask you to determine your "At Risk" and "Critical" alert thresholds for each physiological parameter (blood pressure, heart rate, glucose, etc.). These will be your practice-wide default thresholds.

Per-Patient Thresholds

You will also be able to set and change custom thresholds for any patient as needed. When a patient has an At Risk reading, our team will review the reading result to determine if this is typical for the patient or whether a phone call is indicated. If a patient has a Critical reading, we will call the patient and determine if the situation needs to be escalated to the ordering provider. All our phone calls with patients and providers are done on our secure recorded platform.

Patient Engagement

Fully customizable outreach via SMS, telephone, email, or video telemedicine call.  Increased patient engagement by using Accuhealth's clinical care team to provide full-service care coordination, medication and appointment reminders, health coaching, and the patient's preferred method of communication to build healthy habits.

Automated Reminders

In addition to our live agents who call patients, our automated reminder system will send SMS, emails, or phone call reminders to patients depending on their preference to remind them to take their readings. 

Consumables Included

We supply patients with consumables for their devices, including batteries, diabetic lancets and test strips as part of our service. For some patients, not having to pay for consumables is a real motivator to continue the program. 

Play Daily Bingo Game

We try to make Remote Patient Monitoring and taking daily readings fun by emailing a Bingo card to patients at the start of each month.  Patients can play and win prizes, and keep them engaged with their daily reading reminders.
