The long-term effects of remote monitoring on hospital utilization and health care costs are understudied in home health care. The researchers performed a retrospective study, in a hospital-based home health care agency, to consider the effects of remote monitoring in 326 patients with heart failure 90 days after discharge from services. While statistical significance was not noted, clinical significance suggests that there was a decreased hospital utilization rate and decreased average cost per hospitalization in the remote monitoring group.
远程监测对家庭医疗保健中住院率和医疗保健成本的长期影响尚未得到充分研究。研究人员在一家医院附属的家庭医疗保健机构进行了一项回顾性研究，以考察远程监测对326例心力衰竭患者出院90天后的影响。虽然未发现统计学意义，但临床意义表明，远程监测组的住院率降低，每次住院的平均成本也有所降低。
