IHE Patient Care Coordination (PCC) Technical Framework Supplement: Remote Patient Monitoring (RPM)

The Remote Patient Monitoring (RPM) profile sets out a standardised means to transmit measurements taken by personal healthcare devices in a remote setting to a health care provider, including remote home monitoring, sub-acute therapy devices and wearable technologies. Remote in this case means outside of a care provider facility and is typically in the patient’s home.

This supplement to the IHE Patient Care Coordination Technical Framework describes the already existing set of standards and interfaces defined by the Personal Connected Health Alliance (PCHA) for the delivery of remote patient data to the care provider.
