CCN Health provides a certified Remote Patient Monitoring (RPM) integration with August Health designed specifically for skilled nursing facilities, featuring glucose monitoring technology. The platform automates clinical documentation, enables real-time monitoring, and generates Medicare billing records for compliant reimbursement.
Glucose Monitoring for Skilled Nursing RPM with August Health
Glucose Monitoring brings a distinct advantage to RPM programs in skilled nursing facilities. FDA-cleared blood glucose meters from Trividia Health and Smart Meter use fingerstick testing with automatic cellular transmission. Results transmit to the CCN Health platform within minutes without patient interaction beyond the test itself. Combined with CCN Health's August Health integration, residents benefit from continuous monitoring without additional nursing staff burden.
Why Glucose Monitoring for Skilled Nursing
Skilled Nursing facilities serve post-acute and long-stay residents requiring 24/7 skilled nursing care, often with multiple comorbidities and higher acuity. Glucose Monitoring is particularly relevant because:
- Familiar fingerstick method — minimal learning curve
- Automatic cellular transmission eliminates manual logging
- Real-time alerts for dangerous highs (>300) and lows (<70)
How Glucose Monitoring Works
FDA-cleared blood glucose meters from Trividia Health and Smart Meter use fingerstick testing with automatic cellular transmission. Results transmit to the CCN Health platform within minutes without patient interaction beyond the test itself.
Data Captured
- Fasting blood glucose
- Postprandial glucose
- Blood glucose trends
- Hypoglycemia events
