Remote Care Management
The Future of Patient Care Symposium
APACMed presents the second instalment of Digital Health Symposium, under a continued theme of Remote Care Management (RCM).
This year, The Future of Patient Care Symposium is structured around the Remote Care Management user experience: healthcare professionals, patients/caregivers, and wider society. Thought leaders from across the region and globe will convene to outline the remaining gaps, share best practices, and exchange real life stories on topics ranging from Remote Care Management use, value demonstration to reimbursement to economic sustainability.

Managing Board Member and Head of Asia Pacific, Siemens Healthineers
What is Remote Care Management?
Remote Care Management (RCM) encompasses patient-facing digital technologies and services as a means to facilitate clinically driven remote monitoring, care and education of patients. As has been demonstrated during COVID-19, Remote Care Management is a necessity for care providers, payers and governments striving to implement an effective population health management strategy.
Remote Care Management initiatives must enable patient pathways outside of conventional clinical settings, such as in the home or in rural geographies, thereby increasing access to care and decreasing delivery expenditures. As indicated by the diagram, Remote Care Management initiatives typically come in one of two solution categories – online patient interactions and patient self-care.
“Digital Health Symposium 2021 was a phenomenal opportunity for us to kickstart the hot topic of RCM in the Asia Pacific. In 2022, the intention is to take the topic even further, by exploring the viewpoints of other ecosystem stakeholders and continuing to share best practices about what works in driving appropriate Remote Care Management adoption.”
Andrew Frye
Chair of APACMed Board and President of Baxter Asia Pacific
While certainly we’ve made great progress on the Remote Care Management topic, due to COVID-19, there remain many hurdles ahead to capturing the desired health, social, and economic outcomes. It is key for us to continue to understand various stakeholders’ perspectives; please consider doing your part by joining to contribute to the conversation.

Symposium Challenge Statements
The Future of Patient Care Symposium seeks to address a few key challenge statements:
- How can healthcare professionals and care providers work better, thanks to Remote Care Management?
- What is still not working for patients, despite the promises?
- What value does Remote Care Management deliver to the wider healthcare ecosystem and society?
Bearing these challenge statements in mind, the Symposium agenda contains three distinct Remote Care Management segments below:
The Healthcare Professional and Provider Experience
A master-class style use case format, we go deep in providing a platform for peer exchange. In particular, we will look at how Remote Care Management enables collaboration across silos, with the shared ambition of better management of patients along the entire journey of multiple disease state interventions.
The Patient Experience
Through real life stories shared, we will highlight what is working as well as where the issues in adoption remain. Human centricity remains a key focus for Remote Care Management, hence discussions will be held on critical enablers such as patient empowerment, digital health literacy and data privacy.
The Wider Society Experience
Payment incentives remain the main driver of Remote Care Management adoption. Measuring the value of this new way to deliver care becomes crucial, but the appropriate methodology is still missing. Beyond the clinical and financial potential of Remote Care Management, we must also consider the impact on quality and productivity of life, driven by improvement in healthcare outcomes from Remote Care Management. At the same time, the funding models of Remote Care Management must be sustainable for society too.
Join the conversation at The Future of Patient Care Symposium, to help shape the adoption of Remote Care Management solutions in Asia Pacific. Connect with peers across public and private sector, in the healthcare industry and beyond.
