What is a remote patient monitoring nurse?

A Remote Patient Monitoring (RPM) Nurse is a registered nurse who uses digital technologies to monitor and manage patients' health remotely. They track patients' vital signs and health data, communicate with patients about their symptoms and treatment plans, and collaborate with healthcare providers to ensure timely interventions. RPM nurses play a crucial role in managing chronic conditions, reducing hospital readmissions, and improving patient outcomes by providing continuous care outside of traditional healthcare settings.

What are the key skills and qualifications needed to thrive as a remote patient monitoring nurse?

To excel as a Remote Patient Monitoring Nurse, you need a solid nursing background (RN or BSN), clinical assessment skills, and experience with chronic disease management. Familiarity with telehealth platforms, remote monitoring devices, and secure health data systems is essential. Strong communication, critical thinking, and self-motivation are vital soft skills for building patient trust and working independently. These competencies enable nurses to deliver timely, effective care and support patient outcomes in a virtual care environment.

What are some common challenges remote patient monitoring nurses face when supporting patients virtually?

Remote Patient Monitoring Nurses often encounter challenges such as ensuring patients remain engaged with their care plans and technology, managing technical issues with monitoring devices, and accurately assessing patient symptoms without in-person interaction. Building trust and rapport remotely can require extra effort, and nurses must be proactive in communication to address patient concerns promptly. Additionally, they frequently collaborate with physicians and other healthcare professionals to adjust care plans based on real-time data, which requires strong organizational and communication skills.

The main difference lies in the job focus: monitoring vs. direct patient communication.

How to become a remote patient monitoring nurse?

To become a remote patient monitoring nurse, you typically need to earn a nursing license by completing an accredited nursing program and passing the NCLEX exam. Relevant skills include proficiency with electronic health records and remote monitoring tools, and some positions may require additional certifications such as Basic Life Support (BLS) or specialized training in telehealth. Experience in clinical nursing and strong communication skills are also important for success in remote roles.

Job description

Founded in 2020 and based in Silicon Valley, Empo Health is a seed-funded, VC-backed, and NSF-supported startup developing revolutionary in-home health monitoring products. We’re assembling a contracted team of experienced Remote Patient Monitoring LPNs to provide clinical services to our partner health system and patients.

Empo Health’s first product, the Empo Footprint, is an in-home imaging scale that helps doctors and patients monitor for early signs of diabetic foot ulcers. After running a successful pilot study with results that exceeded all expectations, the team is hard at work preparing the world-class device and associated Empo Remote Health Link service for launch in a few months. This is a hands-on role: you will monitor patient data and work with a supervising physician on the practice side, as well as an operations supervisor on the Empo side.

Your work will directly contribute to detecting the diabetic foot ulcers that impact millions of at-risk patients, potentially preventing amputations and saving lives. If you’re passionate about remote care and helping prevent the worst outcomes for diabetic patients, then we’d love to hear from you!

The Job

This role will be a part-time contracted position with the opportunity to grow hours to near-full-time. LPNs will be contracted by Empo and managed by Empo, but will be assigned under the general supervision of patients' physicians to provide clinical services. The position will be fully-remote, and responsibilities will include:

  • Monitoring foot images and weight data collected by the Empo Footprint and displayed in the Empo Remote Health Link web portal daily. Escalating critical findings to the physicians and/or patients as necessary.

  • Conducting routine patient check-ins and adherence reminders, ensuring proper documentation is completed for each check-in.  Check-ins will occur as frequently as once per month for a caseload of up to 50 patients initially.

  • Providing additional outreach to patients who have questions, experience changes in their health, or encounter issues with their Empo devices, ensuring timely resolution, support, and accurate documentation of all interactions.

  • Fielding questions from patients and delegating to other members of the Empo team as needed

  • Interacting with patients' physicians

You might be a good fit if you
  • Are accredited as a Licensed Practical Nurse in Virginia

  • Are based in the United States

  • Have experience with working with diabetic patients

  • Learn new clinical protocols quickly

  • Communicate well with both patients and providers

  • Have excellent English verbal and written communication skills

  • Are passionate about improving access to high quality healthcare

  • Are tech-savvy with strong proficiency in using various digital tools and software beyond Microsoft Office. You should be comfortable with tasks such as converting files (e.g., Word to PDF), using cloud-based software and online portals, downloading and installing apps, and uploading documents to web platforms. 

  • Have an interest in learning new technologies

Even better if you
  • Have a compact license

  • Have experience working with diabetic foot complications

  • Have experience with remote patient monitoring or telehealth

  • Can communicate effectively verbally or in writing in other languages

  • Have clinical research / GCP experience

What We Offer
  • Remote-friendly working environment
