Abstract

Hospital readmissions are associated with significant morbidity and mortality among patients with heart failure and other cardiovascular diseases. Hospital readmissions are also a performance metric for healthcare insurers. In patients at risk of multiple readmissions, outpatient hemodynamic monitoring becomes imperative to prevent these readmissions. Outpatient assessment of cardiovascular hemodynamics provides a way to monitor patients in the ambulatory/outpatient setting or remotely. This modality reduces cost and gives clinicians an opportunity to be proactive about changes in a patient’s volume status before the development of clinical symptoms and hospital readmission. Advances in these ambulatory/outpatient and remote monitoring options will improve care, decrease readmissions, and reduce direct and indirect costs to the healthcare system. This chapter describes the various remote or ambulatory/outpatient options for hemodynamic monitoring as well as how they work and the advantages and disadvantages of each one.
