Dissemination of Remote Patient Monitoring: An Academic-Community Primary Care Partnership in South Carolina.

Context: Remote patient monitoring (RPM) for diabetes and hypertension may reduce barriers to patient care, leading to improved disease control and decreased morbidity and mortality.

Program: We describe the implementation of a community-academic partnership to improve diabetes and hypertension control for underserved populations using RPM.

Implementation: In 2014, our academic medical center (AMC) began working with community health centers (CHCs) to implement a centrally monitored RPM program for patients with diabetes.
