Conditions
Brief summary
The objective of this study is to evaluate effectiveness, usability and clinical utility of the remote patient monitoring (RPM) fit score when choosing patients to enter the RPM Program.
Interventions
The FitScore is a machine learning algorithm embedded within the electronic health record that identifies patients most likely to benefit from remote patient monitoring.

Eligibility
Inclusion criteria
* The study participants will be nurses who are part of the RPM care team that cares for adult patients ≥18 years. * A patient's data will be included in the analysis if the patient is ≥18 years old and receives care from a participating nurse. * Patient data will only be collected if permitted (based on the use of the Minnesota Research Authorization Retrieval Tool). * Patients who will be considered for this study will be assessed based on standard RPM program inclusion and
Exclusion criteria
for the any of the chronic disease RPM programs (congestive heart failure, coronary artery disease, hypertension, type 2 diabetes, COPD, and general complex care).
Design outcomes
Primary
| Measure | Time frame | Description |
|---|---|---|
| Evaluation of the effectiveness, usability, and clinical utility of the RPM fit score as displayed in the Acute Multipatient Viewer (AMP) and underlying AI models in the real-world setting | 1 year | FitScore effectiveness will determined by the patient care utilization outcomes of those who did or did not participate in RPM (for those enrolled with or without the FitScore). Usability and clinical utility will be self-reported by nursing staff collected through surveys or as directly observed by study staff (as to experience with or without the FitScore). |
Secondary
| Measure | Time frame | Description |
|---|---|---|
| Assessment of fit score overall effect on nursing efficiency and clinical workflows | 1 year | Efficiency will be measured by timing studies of nurse patient screening for RPM eligibility as directly observed by study staff. The effect on clinical workflows will be self-reported by nursing staff collected through surveys (as to experience with or without the FitScore). |
