Course Overview
The overall objective of the “Remote Patient Care: A New Era in Cardiovascular Disease Management - Enduring Content” webinar is to provide education for physicians, physician assistants, nurse practitioners, nurses, and other allied health professionals involved in remote patient monitoring/care in patients with cardiovascular disease. The symposium will address issues such as an overview of remote patient monitoring (RPM) and chronic disease management in cardiovascular disease, updates on guideline-directed medical therapies (GDMT) for HFrEF, HFpEF, hypertension and diabetes, as well as new technology and modalities in remote patient monitoring for chronic disease management. The webinar will also cover topics such as understanding the alphabet soup in virtual patient care (i.e., RPM, CCM, RTM, and APCM), organizing your clinic/practice to include RPM to improve patient care, and a focus on the need to incorporate virtual care into modern health system practice. The format will be a mix of lectures followed by questions and discussion.

Target Audience
This program is designed to meet the continuing education (CE) needs of physicians, physician assistants, nurse practitioners, nurses, and other allied health professionals involved in remote patient monitoring in patients with cardiovascular disease.
Learning Objectives
- Explain the role of remote patient monitoring (RPM) in improved patient engagement and medication adherence
- Identify proactive interventions based on real-time data to reduce emergency room visits and hospital admissions and reduce total cost of care, improve access and communication between patients and providers allowing for more timely and personalized care
- Recognize current AHA/ACC Guidelines for HFrEF, HFpEF, HFiEF and how RPM can improve achievement of more rapid up titration of the pillars of guideline-directed medical therapies (GDMT) known to be associated with improved outcomes and reduced costs
- Identify current AHA/ACC Guidelines for Management of Hypertension and enormous amount of RPM data showing improved BP control
- Identify current ADA Guidelines for DM and role of RPM and CGM in improving glycemic control and reduced CV outcomes
- Understand and explain the alphabet soup of acronyms that CMS is using for CCM including RPM, CCM, RTM, APCM, etc.
- Express how to best organize practice operations to incorporate a chronic disease management program for benefit of patients and providers
- Describe the overview and future plans for CMS around CCM and CMS coding/reimbursement
