At the onset of the COVID-19 pandemic, the pressure on hospitals increased tremendously. To alleviate this pressure, a remote patient monitoring system called the COVID Box was developed and implemented in primary care. The aim was to assess whether the COVID Box in primary care could reduce emergency department (ED) referrals due to a COVID-19 infection.

Panel management, which involves proactive care for specific patient risk groups, could offer a promising approach to tailor RPM to these groups. This study aims to (i) assess the perception of healthcare professionals and other stakeholders regarding the adoption and (ii) identify the barriers and facilitators for successfully implementing such a panel management approach.

- Cardiometabolic diseases (CMD) are a major cause of death in wealthy countries, mainly due to preventable risk factors, and population health management (PHM) can help target high-risk patients for prevention.
- This study reviewed 26 out of over 1,100 health intervention studies from 2000 to 2023, focusing on how well these interventions followed the RE-AIM framework in terms of their effectiveness and reach.
- The findings suggest that while PHM interventions can effectively engage a wide audience and potentially reduce CMD risks, there is a crucial need for better reporting on adoption and ongoing maintenance to enhance their reach and impact.
