CCN Health provides a certified Remote Patient Monitoring (RPM) integration with August Health designed specifically for long-term care facilities, featuring bp monitoring technology. The platform automates clinical documentation, enables real-time monitoring, and generates Medicare billing records for compliant reimbursement.
BP Monitoring for Long-Term Care RPM with August Health
For long-term care facilities running RPM through August Health, bp monitoring addresses a critical need: providing consistent monitoring for residents with chronic conditions over extended stays. FDA-cleared automated cuffs from Smart Meter (iBloodPressure), Omron, Bodytrace, and Telli Health measure systolic/diastolic pressure and heart rate with a single button press. Readings transmit automatically via cellular gateway to the CCN Health platform.
Why BP Monitoring for Long-Term Care
Long-Term Care facilities serve residents requiring ongoing custodial and skilled nursing care, typically with chronic conditions requiring sustained management. BP Monitoring is particularly relevant because:
- One-button operation — no technical skill required
- Automated cellular transmission eliminates manual recording
- Multiple daily readings capture true BP patterns vs. office visits
How BP Monitoring Works
FDA-cleared automated cuffs from Smart Meter (iBloodPressure), Omron, Bodytrace, and Telli Health measure systolic/diastolic pressure and heart rate with a single button press. Readings transmit automatically via cellular gateway to the CCN Health platform.
Data Captured
- Systolic blood pressure
- Diastolic blood pressure
- Heart rate
- Mean arterial pressure
- Pulse pressure
Benefits for Long-Term Care Facilities
Sustained Monitoring
Continuous vital sign trending over long stays enables early detection of gradual health changes.
Hospitalization Prevention
Proactive alerts help clinical teams intervene before conditions deteriorate to emergency levels.
Documentation Continuity
Automated charting creates a continuous record that supports longitudinal care planning.
BP Monitoring vs. Traditional Approaches
| Factor | BP Monitoring | Traditional |
|---|---|---|
| Readings Per Day | Multiple scheduled readings | 1-2 manual checks |
| Data Accuracy | Validated FDA-cleared devices | Subject to observer technique |
| Trend Visibility | Real-time dashboards and alerts | Paper logs reviewed at appointments |
| Staff Burden | Automated — no manual charting | Manual BP check and documentation |
| Response Time | < 2 min alerts for critical readings | Discovered at next scheduled check |

- heart failure
- diabetes
- COPD
- hypertension
- chronic kidney disease
- dementia

Common Questions
Frequently Asked Questions
Everything you need to know about implementation, billing, and clinical workflows.
Yes. CCN Health integrates with August Health to deliver RPM data directly into resident records, supporting senior care practices with automated vital sign documentation.
RPM uses FDA-cleared connected devices to collect patient vitals—such as blood pressure, weight, and glucose—outside of traditional clinical settings, enabling proactive care and early intervention.
The primary RPM CPT codes are 99453 (device setup), 99454 (monthly device supply/data transmission), 99457 (first 20 min clinical review), and 99458 (each additional 20 min).
RPM in long-term care provides continuous vital-sign monitoring that helps clinical staff detect changes early, reduce unnecessary hospitalizations, and improve quality metrics.
Patients use an FDA-cleared connected blood pressure cuff that automatically transmits readings to CCN Health's platform, enabling clinicians to track trends and intervene early on hypertension or hypotension.
