Abstract
Senior Citizens are being readmitted to hospitals with 30 days for recurring issues from their initial hospital stay and it is costing Health Systems $528 million in penalties from The Centers of Medicare and Medicaid Systems (Boccuti & Casillas, 2018). A segment of those penalties come from Hip and Knee replacements, the goal is to determine if implementing a remote patient monitoring tool will improve the post surgical care through telerehabilitation and reduce or prevent a readmission to the hospital.
