Receiving Vitals Data from the Stel Hub: Endpoint(s):
The organization’s interface team will need to establish a secure endpoint to accept the vitals data from the Stel Vitals Hub
- In order to receive these measurements, Stel’s clients typically expose a JSON-based HTTPS endpoint.
- Refer to the Stel Integration Guide document for instructions on developing these endpoints and testing / receiving data.
RPM Order / Referral:
- Begin with the end in mind - if the program is expected to grow, consider multiple types of remote patient monitoring in the build:
- Blood Pressure
- Glucose
- Heart Rate
- Respiratory Rate
- Weight
- Other
- Also Consider
- Parameters for upper and lower values for vitals transmitted
- Escalation pathways for out of bound vitals
- Dashboard development for clinical teams
- Discontinuation process for RPM
Stel Vitals Hub Association in EHR or Platform
Consider workflow of where the Hub will be delivered to patients (in clinic / ED / Inpatient setting or delivered to patient home)
- Leverage bar code scanning technology if possible to associate the Hub with patient identification
- The team associating the Stel Vitals Hub in the patient record (typically the patient identification management area) may require a change to their provisioning in order to access this area of the EHR
Receiving Data: Patient Generated Data (PGD) Flowsheet
To accept vitals data from the Stel Vitals Hub, a PGD flowsheet will need to be developed based on the specifications of the EHR vendor. Please see High Level Wire Frames for examples.
Patient Triage / Clinical Dashboards
As the program scales, there will be a need to develop a process to quickly identify patients whose vitals may need review.
This may be a dashboard which highlights:
- Patients on RPM (may be sorted by program)
- Vitals not taken as expected
- Vitals out of range
- Vitals within range, positive trends, patient reinforcement outreach
- Order expiration or renewal
Completion of RPM
When a patient graduates from RPM, you will need a process to track
