How Remote Patient Monitoring Works
Any Orlando Health provider can refer you to Remote Patient Monitoring. You may be referred to this program if you:
Have been newly diagnosed with heart failure. Your Orlando Health cardiologist or primary care provider may recommend you enroll in the Remote Patient Monitoring program. The program will help you learn to self-manage your heart condition as you get back to living. With remote monitoring, the Orlando Health team can closely oversee your heart health, reducing your risk of hospital readmission due to heart failure.
Have chronic, uncontrolled heart failure. If your Orlando Health cardiologist or primary care provider thinks additional education and support will help you to self-manage your heart failure at home, they may recommend this program.
Once your provider refers you to the program, the Remote Patient Monitoring team will contact you to obtain your consent. We will then enroll you in the program and send the program kit directly to your home.
