This program has an anticipated duration of 15 months but may be extended. This is a community-based position with a hybrid work schedule. Vision Statement To innovate the care experience by implementing workflows, EHR tools and RPM devices that will help engage Native Hawaiians and all the people of Hawaii in their own healthcare and wellbeing and help them to build lifetime partners in health with the care teams that support them. Purpose Statement The initial focus of the Remote Patient Monitoring program will be on the Native Hawaiian population with goals of: Closing the life expectancy gap by half through better management of chronic diseases to slow the progression of Diabetes, Hypertension, CHF, COPD, and Obesity. This solution will be compatible with multiple devices and fully integrate into the Epic EMR from both the patient and provider perspective. We will then expand the RPM solution to the entire patient population across the Queen’s Health System, including ICF, SNF, and Hospital at Home models.
