How Health Systems Are Embracing RPM Technology
In Spring 2025, THMA surveyed senior clinical executives at large U.S. health systems about their workforce strategies, with a focus on how they're leveraging technology and AI to address staffing-related challenges.
To help you better understand adoption trends and perspectives across your customer base, this resource distills key insights on how health system leaders view remote patient monitoring (RPM) technologies like patient wearables and continuous glucose monitors.
Data is based on responses from 39 leaders, including CPEs, CNOs/CNEs, and Medical Group executives, all representing health systems with over $1B in operating revenue.
Key Takeaways
Widespread Adoption: 46% of surveyed health system leaders have implemented remote patient monitoring (RPM); 54% plan to invest further.
Clinical Support: RPM has strong backing from clinicians — 90% of physicians and 91% of nurses support its use.
Limited Strategic Impact: Only 26% of leaders believe RPM aids in recruitment and retention, suggesting a gap in perceived workforce value.
Primary Care Leads: While overall RPM use is limited across clinical areas, primary care shows the most traction.
Partner Opportunity: Vendors can drive adoption by aligning RPM capabilities with staffing goals and helping overcome integration hurdles.
