Remote Patient Monitoring: reducing risk & improving patient outcomes | #ANES24

TopMedTalk was at the American Society of Anesthesiologists (ASA) Annual General Meeting, Anesthesiology 2024. We’re bringing you a series of podcasts from the conference. In this episode, we share insights into patient care, emphasizing the importance of empathy, trust, and tailored communication, especially for patients from communities with healthcare inequities. How do we handle different patient responses to monitoring technology? While remote monitoring offers potential benefits—such as allowing patients to recover at home—it raises questions about who will oversee this data and how to ensure it remains safe and effective. Presented by Desiree Chappell and Mike Grocott with their guest Ashley P. Oliver, MD MA, HS Clinical Assistant Professor, Division of Cardiothoracic Anesthesia, UCLA Department of Anesthesiology and Perioperative Medicine. -- We've been releasing more podcasts than usual here recently.
