Patient and Clinician Perspectives on Alert-Based Remote Monitoring–First Care for Cardiovascular Implantable Electronic Devices: Semistructured Interview Study Within the Veterans Health Administration
Both patients and CIED clinicians interviewed who were experienced in using RM were open to an RM-first care model that reduces in-person visits but reported some barriers to solely relying on RM and possible diminution of the patient-clinician relationship. Implementation of new RM recommendations will require attention to these perceptions and prioritization of patient-centered approaches.
