Objective:

To analyze data from a feasibility study using the Dignio RPM platform to describe the work nurses performed during the nurse-assisted RPM intervention.

Approach:

Key Findings:

• RPM applications are increasingly used for chronic illness management, but their impact on clinical workload is not well understood.
• Nurses engage with RPM platforms through digital remote assessment, which adds to their workload.
• The feasibility study indicated that the RPM application improved communication between nurses and patients and observed improvements in patients' chronic illness management.

Interpretation:

The study highlights the need for robust evaluations of healthcare professionals' engagement with RPM applications to understand their impact on clinical workload.

Limitations:

• Limited existing research on healthcare professionals' engagement with RPM applications.
• Slow implementation and integration of RPM into healthcare services.

Conclusion:

The findings provide insights into the increased nurse workload as a barrier to digital health adoption.
