The Remote Monitoring System
Internationally, patient care facilities and healthcare systems
are steadily executing organizations that record the patient
health in the home setting. The patient avoids unnecessary
doctors’ visits, hospital stays and visits to emergency care
department (Emani, 2017). Healthcare is providing your patient
the best quality of life possible. Concerning individuals
particularly patients with heart failure problems, remote
monitoring plays a major role in the being afforded to live
somewhat of a normal life. Also, with the increase in the baby
boomer generation attaining retirement age, there is high
demand for the availability of enough and quality home health
care (McGonigle & Mastrian, 2017). Unfortunately, heart
failure affects many people in the United States. Subsequently,
the incidence and prevalence are increasing even with the
option of heart failure therapy. The admission of a patient with
heart failure is trending daily. Sadly, this effects the elderly
more than any other population. The consequence of heart
failure is increased instances of disease and or death. Increased

2. debt is also a precipitating factor of heart failure, due to an
influx of necessary treatment. To decrease the instances of the
over population in the acute care setting, meanwhile eliminating
the significant load of substantial cost to the patient, healthcare
facilities have implemented the remote monitoring systems.
Promoting the remote health monitoring is one of the most
prevalent factors, that provides more enough outcomes for the
heart failure patient. Remote patient monitoring can improve
patient results by improving to their responsiveness in the
instances of emergency. Remote patient monitoring intensifies
medical specialists to assist in following the patient biometric
real-time and offer solutions immediately (Emani, 2017).
Remote patient monitoring boosts suitable escalation mainly
with the nervous patients who are very responsive. By surging
quickly, the patient may suffer large medical bills that may
negatively impact their quality of life. Furthermore, taking
responsibility in monitoring is vital in adequately ensuring the
patient has soaring results. Appropriate medication is an
essential part of treatment regimens, though it is challenging to
understand with certainty if the patient id complying with the
prescription (Emani, 2017). The remote health monitoring
system is arranged to give patients a reminder on the
appropriate time to take their medicines. This system also alerts
the physician, if the patient isn’t compliant with treatment.
While the remote patient monitoring is designed for patients
with heart problems, this system is key in accessing health care
services, appropriate care, and regulation, the program must
meet a certain legal and regulatory compliance especially with
the privacy and data security. This system alerts privacy and
security issues, due to having a significant amount of personal
information pertaining to the patients’ health condition that has
been accumulated over years in a database (Emani, 2017). This
information is subject to satisfactory data statistics. The
relevant laws specify that any hospital or organization
governing the system in the remote monitoring system is privy
to the privacy and data security laws of the region where the

3. equipment is situated. Subsequently, privacy consent forms are
signed by the healthcare specialists, hence they cannot share the
information without the patient consent. Further, a data
protection form is given; it outlines all the information under
different relevant privacy laws (McGonigle & Mastrian, 2017).
However, some other countries such as Italy require a one to
sign a written consent for storing such sensitive information and
only to the limit given in the general data protection authority.
In such instances, a situation case review of the equipment is
done to evaluate whether such regulatory restrictions would
limit the innovations of technologies or another solution may be
undertaken to make sure privacy compliance without restricting
the remote monitoring system.
The responsibility of whomever is taking care of the medical
information cannot be overlooked, as the state data protection
authorities are very precise in detailing the duties. Hospitals
primarily have possession of the information, with assistance in
information processing and cloud depot. Concurrently, in
mature countries, patient-monitoring systems enforces
information protection authority be notified when any home
care is to be implemented (Emani, 2017). To ensure privacy
consent to the data, the purpose must be received from the
patient. This regulation happens if the technologies used to
require it must have a user profile. Information privacy and
security laws controls the way in which the patient data is
stored, who may access the information, and what can be shared
(Emani, 2017). Nursing workflow effectiveness has been
reinforced by possessing a committed technical support group
for joined care technologies. Since many patients have
difficulty, a technical support system is necessary to deal with
the technical issues one may have. The healthcare system
ensures that there is a support team available to assist in
addressing any concern that may occur before incorrect medical
diagnoses.
Lastly, unconventional remote monitoring technology is
necessary in decreasing chronic disease and death in the heart

4. failure patients. Furthermore, due to productivity, patients are
required to connect to their own actions and speculate the
repercussion. Considering the institution of data privacy and
protection regulations, patient information is safeguarded
(Emani, 2017). The contentment of the patient is the main goal
assimilated in the remote system. An increase of remote
monitoring technology has been charged by the fruitful and
capital limitations in the modern-day healthcare method. Today,
the hospital is migrating away from pen and paper to electronic
medical records, therefore, there is necessary to having
adequate understanding and knowledge of the privacy and
security regulations, also the information privacy risks and
compliance. The remote monitoring technologies is expanding
at an alarming rate. Ultimately, conformity support groups must
be appropriately available in the plan to oversee that the rules
regulating the programs are enforced.

Purpose of Assignment:
The final paper will bring together the concepts learned
throughout the course to analyze a potential project in your
department. This paper, which will be presented to leadership,
must cover each of these topics (evidence based research - how
remote monitoring will improve nursing care outcomes, legal
and regulatory requirements, privacy of client information,
nursing workflow efficiency, and compliance continuity).These
topics will inform leadership about the process needed to
implement the project.
Background: Case Scenario
Your supervisor has learned that you have completed a course in
healthcare informatics and calls you into her office. She tells
you the leadership organization is concerned that it does not
have a program for the remote monitoring of patients with heart
failure, and she wants you to lead a team to analyze needs and
to make recommendations for creating it. She informs you that
the purpose of the Technology Analysis will be to guide
management in considering how program could be implemented
throughout the organization.
In preparing the plan, she would like you to address the
following areas:
· Evidenced-based research (how remote monitoring will
improve nursing care outcomes)
· Legal and regulatory compliance
· Privacy of patient information

10. · Nursing workflow efficiency
· Compliance continuity
Instructions:
All key elements of the paper are covered in a substantive way:
· 3-4 pages, not including title page or reference page
· Use APA formatting
· Introduction
· Content, with headings
· Conclusion
