What Are Common Challenges Faced When Developing a RPM Program?2:12
To best prepare for unforeseen challenges arising from RPM program implementation, it’s important to first define the program’s most pressing goals.

Our experts explain how defining these goals helps ensure that any potential challenges that may arise can more readily be overcome.
In this lesson, you will learn:- Why identifying goals is critical to program success

What Are the Most Common Mistakes Made with RPM Programs?2:05
It should go without saying at this point, but not all remote patient management programs are created equally. As our experts explain, the most common mistakes made when implementing a new RPM program include the failure to obtain clinician involvement, the lack of a live operator to answer patient questions, and a tendency for leaders to resist providing the program with adequate resourcing, among a few others.
In this lesson, you will learn:- The most common RPM program mistakes to avoid
- The importance of enrolling the right patients
- Why lack of resourcing is the #1 RPM program mistake
- Why patient communication is essential to success
