At Midwest Cardiovascular Institute (MCI), we are committed to providing comprehensive, patient-centered care—wherever you are. Our Cardio@Home program offers Remote Patient Monitoring (RPM), Chronic Care Management (CCM) and Principal Care Management (PCM), allowing patients to stay connected with their care teams through a direct line 24/7 from the comfort of their homes.

Cardio@Home is a remote healthcare service designed to help patients manage heart conditions more effectively without frequent in-office visits. By using advanced technology and personalized nursing support, we ensure that patients receive continuous care and timely interventions.

Remote Patient Monitoring (RPM)

RPM enables real-time tracking of vital health data through easy-to-use, home-based devices:

• Blood Pressure Monitor – Tracks and records blood pressure levels.
• EKG Rhythm Monitor / Kardia – Detects irregular heart rhythms.
• Digital Weight Scale – Monitors fluid retention for heart failure patients.

How it Works: Patients use these devices daily, and their data is automatically sent to our clinical team. If abnormalities are detected, a nurse will contact the patient and, if necessary, coordinate with their physician for follow-up care. Each device is assigned by the provider to each patient based on their medical record and diagnosis.

Principal Care Management (PCM) and Chronic Care Management

PCM and CCM provides dedicated nurse support to help patients manage their heart health with ease.

• VIP Nurse Line – Patients can directly reach a nurse for medication refills, symptom concerns, CRA, and care plan adjustments. The nurse will coordinate with the PCP or other providers based on the patient’s needs.
• Proactive Monthly Check-ins – Nurses call patients to assess their health, ensuring early detection of potential issues.
• Care Coordination – Seamless communication with physicians to optimize treatment plans.

Why It Matters: Instead of waiting for appointments, patients get immediate, personalized guidance, helping them stay on track with their health goals.
