Wyoming team nominated for award for COVID-19 response
When the COVID-19 pandemic hit in March 2020, providers across the country began working overtime to test, treat and monitor patients for the disease. At VA medical centers, Remote Patient Monitoring–Home Telehealth (RPM–HT) care coordinators took on a large share of these responsibilities. These care coordinators are mostly registered nurses (RNs), but also include licensed clinical social workers and registered dieticians.
The Cheyenne RPM–HT care coordinators are RNs who primarily work from home, monitoring Veterans with chronic clinical issues such as diabetes, high blood pressure and kidney disease. By monitoring the Veterans through phone and video visits, they help the Veterans make lifestyle changes to create stability and avoid hospital visits.
