Vitals Sent: Your Solution for
Remote Patient Monitoring

EMA Telemed presents Vitals Sent for RPM: an automated solution for capturing and transmitting resident vitals directly to PointClickCare EHR.

The Problem
Manual entering residents' vitals into PointClickCare's EHR is inefficient and error-prone, diverting clinician's time from resident care and compromising record accuracy.

The Solution
By automating the capture and transmission of vitals directly to the resident's PointClickCare EHR, Vitals Sent eliminates the need for manual data entry.

Manual vs. Automated

Manual Process
In a study titled Eliminating Errors in Vital Signs Documentation, manually entering vital signs for 64 residents into the electronic medical record (EMR) took an average of 39 minutes.

Automated Process
In contrast, an automated system reduced the average time to record and transfer 66 sets of vital signs to just over 5 minutes.

Error Rates
The traditional method (using paper) had an 18.75% error rate, meaning nearly 1 in every 5 records contained a mistake. In contrast, the automated system recorded no errors at all.

Cost Savings & Error Prevention

Cost Savings for a 44 bed Facility

According to a study (1), a 44-bed LTCF that records vital signs three times a day could save up to 35 hours per month, resulting in a cost savings of between $9,240 and $14,700 annually (2).
Error Prevention

According to the aforementioned study Vitals Sent could prevent up to 743 errors monthly, leading to lower costs, improved patient outcomes, enhanced compliance, reduced legal risks, and more accurate reimbursements.

(2) Annual savings are calculated based on a CNA earning $22 per hour (lower) and an LPN earning $35 per hour (higher).

How It Happens

Vitals Sent for RPM connects with dozens of affordable, FDA-cleared Bluetooth sensors and runs through our secure web app on any smartphone, tablet, or laptop.

Caregivers select a resident and record their vital signs. The readings are captured by the EMA Gateway and transmitted back to the web app for review. If needed, caregivers can easily re-take, correct, or edit readings. Once confirmed, the caregiver clicks submit, and the EMA Gateway sends the data to our AWS-secured server, which delivers it directly into the PointClickCare EHR.

Our web app also syncs immediately with PointClickCare as new residents are admitted, keeping records current without staff intervention. The system also works over both cellular and Wi-Fi, ensuring reliability in any setting.

Our Dashboard

The VitalsFlow Dashboard is included with Vitals Sent for RPM. It highlights the number of vitals taken, time saved, and labor costs avoided; visualizes weekly, monthly, and yearly trends; and pulls vitals and performance data directly from PointClickCare.

On top of that, our dashboard works with any RPM platform or on its own. Even if your team still enters vitals manually, it adds real value. No matter how your facility operates, the benefits are immediate.

Turn Everyday Work Into Additional Revenue

Caregivers in your facility already handle Remote Patient Monitoring (RPM) and Chronic Care Management (CCM). With a physician overseeing these services, your facility can turn them into revenue.

Here’s how: your facility sets a fair market value (FMV) fee and documents the caregivers’ efforts. The physician bills Medicare Part B and pays your facility that fee per resident each month.

Vitals Sent for RPM provides the one piece caregivers can’t do on their own: it automatically sends resident vitals into PointClickCare’s EHR, eliminating manual entry, reducing errors, and keeping records accurate.

For example, a 44-bed facility with 70% of residents in RPM at $39 a month and 40% in CCM at $37 a month could earn about $22,229 a year for services staff already provide.

Unlock RPM Revenue Potential

Your facility does not need to be Medicare certified to earn steady new revenue from RPM & CCM.

Vitals Sent for RPM automatically transmits resident vital signs into PointClickCare, ensuring accurate records that support compliance and billing. This simple step turns routine monitoring into a new revenue stream.

The video shows how RPM can create a significant financial opportunity for long-term care facilities.
