The State of Wyoming has received permission to use CARES Act funding awarded to the state for our Remote Patient Monitoring (RPM) Initiative. The initiative’s primary goal is to reduce hospitalizations and emergency department visits by using technology to allow providers to monitor patients’ overall health status, educate patients, engage patients in their overall plan of care, involve physicians and necessary support personnel, intervene when necessary, and guide patients through the healthcare arena while caring for them in the comfort of their own home. Connect America will provide training, individual program and workflow development, policies and procedures. Read more about the initiative here.

Patient Monitoring Initiative?
