The use of telemonitoring offers the opportunity to reduce the cost of health care while improving outcomes and patient satisfaction. Use of health care IT has improved organization, communication, and decision making; reduced duplicate orders, charting time, and paperwork; made medication administration safer; and enhanced information access and administrative functions.
