Abstract

Remote Patient Monitoring (RPM) has become a key component of digital health transformation, offering new opportunities to enhance healthcare quality, efficiency, and patient outcomes. The increasing burden of chronic diseases, aging populations, and limitations of traditional facility-based care have accelerated the adoption of RPM technologies worldwide. The objective of this study is to examine the impact of remote patient monitoring on healthcare quality and health system management. A descriptive and analytical approach was applied to assess the use of RPM tools, including wearable devices, mobile health applications, and home-based monitoring systems, in various healthcare settings. The analysis demonstrates that RPM improves healthcare quality by enabling continuous data collection, early detection of clinical deterioration, and timely medical interventions. These technologies support proactive disease management, reduce hospital readmissions, and enhance patient safety by minimizing preventable complications. RPM also strengthens care coordination and supports evidence-based decision-making through real-time health data integration into clinical workflows. Additionally, remote monitoring increases patient engagement, adherence to treatment plans, and satisfaction by promoting self-management and personalized care. From a health system perspective, RPM contributes to cost-effectiveness by optimizing resource utilization and reducing the burden on healthcare facilities. However, challenges remain, including data privacy concerns, technological infrastructure gaps, interoperability issues, and disparities in digital access. In conclusion, remote patient monitoring plays a significant role in improving healthcare quality and advancing patient-centered care. Effective implementation requires robust digital infrastructure, standardized protocols, healthcare workforce training, and supportive regulatory frameworks. Integrating RPM into healthcare systems can enhance quality, efficiency, and sustainability of healthcare delivery.
