Connected Care is the real‐time, electronic communication between and among patients, providers, and community support institutions which includes, but is not limited to, telehealth, remote patient monitoring, and safe, effective, coordinated and secure communication. As the American health care system moves toward more value‐based care, remote patient communication, in‐home health and disease monitoring will play an increasingly important role in patient services. Connected Care improves access to care, helps providers and patients avoid costly health care events, increases convenience, and empowers patients, their families and caregivers. Healthcare delivery must not only improve quality and control costs but also reach to the other determinants of health (social, environmental, behavioral), as its ultimate goal is advancing the health and well‐being of the individuals in the community.
