Case Study: Parkland Health improves hypertension care at home with Current Health

Parkland Health reduces ED visits and hospital admissions with Current Health

Parkland Health, a safety-net hospital in Dallas County, sought to address healthcare gaps and improve outcomes for patients with uncontrolled hypertension. The challenge was to reduce unnecessary emergency visits and hospital admissions while improving patient engagement and clinical results. To meet this need, they partnered with vendor Current Health to implement its remote patient monitoring technology as part of their Hypertension RPM program.

The solution from Current Health involved providing the technology for remote monitoring and patient engagement, supplemented by in-person onboarding classes and routine virtual visits. This approach educated and empowered patients to manage their health effectively. The results were significant, as the program successfully reduced emergency department visits and hospital admissions, leading to system-wide cost reductions and a decreased risk of serious complications like heart attack and stroke for patients.
