Launch of RICOH Remote Patient Monitoring Enablement Designed to Help Ease Healthcare Staffing Challenges Amid Unprecedented Industry Burnout Crisis

PR Newswire | October 06, 2023

Ricoh USA, Inc. announces the launch of RICOH Remote Patient Monitoring (RPM) Enablement, the newest end-to-end managed services offering for health systems that is designed to help fuel more efficient and sustainable RPM workflows that can lead to improved patient and care delivery team experiences. RICOH RPM Enablement comes at a time when health systems are grappling with a simultaneous monumental shift to virtual care delivery and an unprecedented shortage of healthcare workers. This care worker shortage has reached a nationwide crisis level where there aren't nearly enough healthcare staff to fill vital RPM management roles, leading to alarming care gaps impacting the most vulnerable patient populations. RICOH RPM Enablement is designed to help health systems close this gap and to help lead to improved patient experiences by integrating into existing virtual care programs to support the deployment of remote patient monitoring system devices, inventory tracking, logistics, and device returns. The healthcare worker burnout and staffing shortage – most recently worsened by COVID – is putting extraordinary constraints on health systems to staff RPM management roles, which limits their ability to scale virtual programs and impacts the standard of patient care. According to the Surgeon General, 98% of healthcare workers worry about their own burnout1, which is likely accelerating nurse retirement, fueling a shortfall of 1.1 million registered nurses1. The Mayo Clinic's research has also revealed that U.S. doctor burnout has reached an all-time high of 63%2. Additionally, 98% of clinicians are concerned that burnout can reduce quality of care and 82% of the public believes that a worker shortage will impact their health3. Technology can be the difference maker in systemic change – and clinicians agree as 50-70% welcome the change to use technologies in their work4. "Clinicians currently spend over 50% of their working hours using EHRs5. That's their reality and a massive contributor to burnout, so our mission is centered on pivoting that time back to patient care through supporting the modernization, automation, and enablement of the care workflows that are most critical to health system's success," said Rory Fitzpatrick, Vice President, Industry Vertical Marketing, Ricoh North America. RPM Enablement is the latest demonstration of our commitment. In this period of burnout crisis, the healthcare industry has an opportunity to commit to workers' emotional and physical wellbeing – and Ricoh is dedicated to supporting positive systemic change with sustainable, scalable solutions. [Source: PR Newswire] RPM is often considered one of the largest value drivers of virtual care with applications from primary care through chronic disease management. In fact, when RPM is part of a care plan, the Mayo Clinic has shown that 72.5% of remote patient monitoring patients comply with the care plan's tasks, including taking medications and monitoring vitals6. Further, only 9.4% were readmitted within 30 days versus 20% of patients not using RPM6. Ricoh is uniquely positioned to help address workflow challenges resulting from the qualified healthcare worker shortage due to its large footprint and depth of managed services experience in the industry. Ricoh currently supports thousands of healthcare organizations with various aspects of their business, including 9 out of 11 of the largest for-profit hospital systems and 22 out of 32 of the largest nonprofit hospital systems, with about 3,200 facilities under its support – and is also responsible for managing over 1 million devices in the United States through more than 2,100 U.S. field technicians across various industries.

​Leveraging operational AI and ML has the potential to unite providers and optimize the consolidation of data sets. During initial testing, the AI-driven algorithm demonstrated the ability to accurately forecast missed care opportunities, with success rates as high as 96%. AI and machine learning insights strategically improve productivity and administrative efficiency at both departmental and enterprise levels. In 2017, GE HealthCare and Mass General Brigham embarked on a ten-year partnership focused on AI innovation in diagnostics and treatments. GE HealthCare and Mass General Brigham have unveiled the joint development of an AI algorithm. This algorithm is designed to enhance operational efficiency and productivity in healthcare. The maiden AI application stemming from this collaboration is the 'schedule predictions dashboard' integrated into the Radiology Operations Module (ROM), a digital imaging tool readily available for deployment by healthcare institutions. Its primary objective encompasses the optimization of scheduling procedures, cost reduction, and alleviating administrative burdens placed on healthcare providers. By doing so, ROM liberates valuable time, permitting clinicians to invest more of their efforts into fostering and strengthening the clinician-patient relationship. Amid a vast sea of data and the demanding responsibilities that often divert healthcare providers from patient care, Parminder Bhatia, Chief AI Officer of GE HealthCare, described the collaboration with Mass General Brigham as groundbreaking. He added that they combine unique datasets and utilize cutting-edge machine learning techniques, harnessing the synergy of clinical and technical expertise to usher in unprecedented advancements in healthcare.
