Overview
OverviewSCALE introduced its client to Remote Patient Monitoring and Chronic Care Management and helped the practice implement a Care Coordination program that resulted in improved patient care and additional needed services that delivered substantial profit.
The new service simultaneously created several different benefits to the practice: stronger patient engagement, improved patient wellness and care, less office red-tape, and significant additional cashflow.
