Global Telehealth Services (GTS) is the provider of the GTS VirtualHealth Platform (GTS-VP), the only FedRAMP Authorized Remote Patient Monitoring (RPM) SaaS solution in the market.
GTS enables healthcare professionals to transform the delivery of healthcare through the convenient, secure use of technology. RPM is in its infancy and we are just beginning to scratch the surface of its potential but the people developing the ways to use technology are not necessarily the people who can make these ideas into successful business realities at scale and functioning in enterprise solutions. This is where GTS fits in.
90% of the healthcare spend in the US addresses chronic conditions, many of which are behavior-based. RPM presents the best potential to address these behaviors. However, for any tool to be successful, it must be very simple to use, encourage patients to consistently use it and be able to adapt and grow as new technologies and techniques are discovered. GTS designs its solutions to meet these challenges.
The other primary area that RPM is key to addressing is access to care. Whether it is rural health, where the nearest provider may be many miles away, or health equity, where a host of factors may be preventing adequate access to care, many people can’t get the help that they need. While technology is a necessary component, it is only the beginning. The workflows, staffing and/or patterns of care are not the same and may vary by disease state or specific need but the tools used to solve them must be consistent or, at least, able to work together. Focusing on both the technology and how it is used are at the core of how GTS develops and manages solutions.
Another critical aspect of making treatment at distance work is for the care to be seamless to the Patient. An enterprise solution, such as the GTS-VP, allows for continuity of care across the entire care team whether general provider, specialist, or involvement of family and friends in the care process. Additionally, the GTS-VP goes beyond just RPM to include other capabilities, such as telehealth visits and patient assessments, pushing the interactions from just RPM to closer to complete treatment at distance.
The underlying fabric that is required to make any of this possible is trust and the foundation of this trust is the security and privacy built into the solution and the associated ecosystem. The successful completion of the FedRAMP Process, objectively makes GTS and the GTS-VP the unquestioned leader in the market in security and privacy.
