Remote Patient Monitoring with CCN Health's PointClickCare Integration

What Is Remote Patient Monitoring with PointClickCare?

CCN Health's Remote Patient Monitoring (RPM) integration with PointClickCare enables skilled nursing facilities, assisted living communities, and post-acute organizations to deliver continuous vital sign monitoring with seamless EHR data flow, automated documentation, and compliant Medicare billing.

Unlike Chronic Care Management (CCM), which coordinates care across multiple conditions through clinical assessments and care plans, RPM captures physiologic vital signs from FDA-cleared devices — blood pressure, weight, blood oxygen, glucose, and more. These readings transmit automatically from bedside or wearable devices into the CCN Health platform and directly into PointClickCare resident records, enabling proactive clinical intervention without manual data entry.

The integration is bi-directional. Vital signs flow into PointClickCare for documentation and clinical review, while resident demographics, ADT census data, and care plan information flow back to inform alert thresholds and enrollment workflows. The result is an RPM program that operates within existing clinical processes rather than alongside them.

How It Works

1. ADT Census Sync — PointClickCare ADT data identifies new admissions automatically, flagging residents with qualifying chronic conditions for RPM enrollment
2. Device Assignment — FDA-cleared devices (blood pressure cuffs, weight scales, pulse oximeters, CGMs, or sensorless monitors) are assigned to the resident and paired to their profile
3. Automatic Data Capture — Vitals transmit via cellular gateway to the CCN Health platform without manual entry — no Wi-Fi configuration required
4. PointClickCare Integration — Data flows directly into PointClickCare resident records via certified API integration, with care plan data informing personalized alert thresholds
5. Clinical Alerts & Billing — Abnormal readings trigger real-time notifications to care staff within 2 minutes, and CPT codes 99453-99458 are documented automatically for compliant billing

Who Uses RPM with PointClickCare?

RPM with PointClickCare serves clinical teams across the full spectrum of senior care and post-acute settings:

Skilled Nursing Facilities — Post-acute residents in the 30-day readmission window benefit from continuous vital sign monitoring that catches deterioration early. Higher-acuity residents with CHF, COPD, or uncontrolled hypertension receive daily blood pressure, weight, and SpO2 tracking that supports timely clinical intervention and reduces preventable hospital transfers.

Assisted Living — Sensorless monitoring options like the Xandar Kardian radar sensor preserve resident independence while still capturing vital data. Blood pressure and weight monitoring for residents managing chronic conditions provides objective trending without disrupting daily routines.

Memory Care — Residents with cognitive impairment often remove wearable devices or forget to use traditional monitors. Contactless radar-based monitoring (Xandar Kardian) mounted on the wall captures heart rate, respiratory rate, and sleep patterns without requiring any resident interaction.

Home Health / Post-Discharge — Transitional monitoring after SNF discharge maintains clinical visibility during the highest-risk period. Residents returning home continue daily vital sign reporting through the same devices used in the facility, with data flowing into PointClickCare for coordinated follow-up.

RPM vs CCM: What's the Difference?

For PointClickCare facilities running both programs, understanding the distinction is critical for compliant billing:

Dimension	RPM	CCM
Data Type	Physiologic (BP, weight, glucose, SpO2)	Care coordination (assessments, medications, care plans)
Data Source	FDA-cleared connected devices	Clinical staff documentation
CPT Code Series	994xx series	99490/99491
Est. Revenue	~$120/patient/month	~$62/patient/month
Conditions	Hypertension, diabetes, CHF, COPD	Any 2+ chronic conditions
Stackable	Yes — with CCM, PCM, BHI, RTM	Yes — with RPM for same patient

Both programs can be billed concurrently for the same resident — a CHF patient on RPM for daily weight and blood pressure monitoring and CCM for multi-condition care coordination, for example. For a detailed comparison, see our CCM vs RPM guide.

Billing & Reimbursement

CCN Health automates Medicare RPM billing documentation:

CPT Code	Reimbursement	Requirements
99453	~$19	One-time device setup and patient education
99454	~$50/mo	16+ days of readings per 30-day period
