Why Your Remote Patient Monitoring Program Is Struggling and How Validic’s Epic EHR Integration Solves It
Remote patient monitoring (RPM) is supposed to make care more continuous, proactive, and connected. But for many health systems, it’s doing the opposite; it’s adding more work, more dashboards, and more data silos.
If your RPM program isn’t scaling, engaging patients, or delivering the expected outcomes, you’re not alone. The problem isn’t the concept — it’s the connection.
The Hidden Barriers Behind RPM Failure
Most programs stumble for the same few reasons:
Disjointed Workflows: Clinicians must leave the EHR to log into separate dashboards, interpret data, and manually document findings. This is inefficient, and often, those insights never make it back into the patient record.
Low Patient Engagement: Asking patients to download new apps, manage separate logins, or troubleshoot device connections can quickly ruin participation. When it’s complicated, patients stop engaging.
IT Complexity and Maintenance: Integrating third-party tools, managing multiple vendors, and ensuring secure data flow all strain IT resources. Every new device or workflow adds friction instead of reducing it.
Limited Scalability: Many RPM programs start small but can’t grow because the processes aren’t automated, the technology doesn’t integrate cleanly, and the clinical workflows don’t support scale.
The Fix: Epic-Integrated Remote Monitoring from Validic
At Validic, we’ve solved the disconnect by embedding remote monitoring directly within Epic’s EHR, where your clinicians already work and your patients already engage.
With Validic’s Epic-integrated solution, patient-generated health data (PGHD) flows seamlessly from connected devices into Epic. Clinicians can enroll patients, order devices, view trends, set thresholds, and take action without ever leaving their EHR.
Here’s how that changes everything:
Simplified Workflows: Clinicians view remote monitoring data right alongside labs, vitals, and notes in Epic. There are no new logins, extra screens, or manual documentation. It’s all part of the same workflow they already use every day.
Frictionless Patient Experience: Patients connect their devices directly through MyChart, using the same portal they already know. Whether it’s a blood pressure cuff, glucose monitor, or weight scale, readings automatically appear in their chart — no extra apps or setup required.
Automated Enrollment and Data Flow: Programs scale easily with built-in automation. Validic enables streamlined enrollment, device provisioning, and real-time data flow — so every new patient and device is connected without manual intervention.
Data That Drives Action: With real-time PGHD surfaced in Epic, care teams can act faster on early warning signs, intervene before conditions worsen, and track the impact of interventions over time.
Simplify your Billing: Leverage Epic to manage your RPM program end-to-end, without the need for additional applications or complex steps.
The Results: Scalable, Sustainable Remote Care
Organizations using Validic’s Epic-integrated RPM are seeing measurable results from improved clinician efficiency to stronger patient adherence.
They’re scaling programs from dozens to thousands of patients without adding staff. They’re reducing readmissions and improving outcomes. And they’re doing it all while staying inside a single, trusted environment: Epic.
The Bottom Line
If your remote monitoring program feels fragmented, hard to manage, or stuck in pilot mode, the issue isn’t the technology itself; it’s the integration.
By embedding remote monitoring directly within Epic, Validic transforms RPM from a disconnected tool into a connected care strategy. Seamless data, simplified workflows, and scalable results—that’s how remote monitoring was meant to work.
