Night Monitoring for Remote Patient Monitoring with athenahealth
For organizations running RPM programs through athenahealth, night monitoring adds a critical monitoring dimension. Continuous overnight monitoring captures vital signs, sleep quality, and room activity during nighttime hours when staff presence is reduced and residents are most vulnerable.
How Night Monitoring Works
Continuous overnight monitoring captures vital signs, sleep quality, and room activity during nighttime hours when staff presence is reduced and residents are most vulnerable.
Vitals and Data Captured
- Heart rate during sleep
- Respiratory rate patterns
- Sleep duration and quality
- Nighttime awakening frequency
- Bed presence/absence
Key Advantages
- Eliminates need for nighttime vital sign checks that disrupt sleep
- Detects nocturnal health events (cardiac, respiratory, falls)
- Monitors sleep quality as a clinical indicator
- Reduces nighttime staffing requirements for vital checks
- Continuous data vs. periodic rounding observations
Night Monitoring vs. Traditional Monitoring
| Factor | Continuous Night Monitoring | Traditional Night Rounds |
|---|---|---|
| Sleep Disruption | None — monitoring is passive | Wakes resident for vitals |
| Data Continuity | Full night recording | 2-3 spot checks |
| Event Detection | Real-time alerting | Discovered on next round |
| Staff Time | Alert-driven response only | Scheduled rounds required |
| Clinical Value | Sleep quality trending | Point-in-time readings |
Ideal Use Cases
- Memory care night monitoring and elopement prevention
- Heart failure patients at risk of nocturnal decompensation
- COPD patients with nighttime desaturation
- Post-acute patients during recovery
Night Monitoring in RPM Programs
When integrated with CCN Health's RPM program through athenahealth, night monitoring data flows automatically into the EHR and contributes to:
- Clinical Documentation — Overnight vital sign records documented for care plan updates
- Billing Compliance — Data transmissions count toward 99454 requirements
- Alert Workflows — Abnormal readings trigger notifications to care staff via athenahealth
- Cross-Program Use — Night Monitoring data available across RPM, CCM, and other programs
Billing & Reimbursement
Night Monitoring data contributes to RPM billing requirements:
| CPT Code | Reimbursement | Requirements |
|---|---|---|
| 99453 | ~$19 | One-time device setup and patient education |
| 99454 | ~$50/mo | 16+ days of readings per 30-day period |
| 99457 | ~$48/mo | First 20 minutes of clinical monitoring time |
| 99458 | ~$38/mo | Each additional 20 minutes of clinical time |
Monthly potential per patient: $120+
Frequently Asked Questions
How does night monitoring data flow to athenahealth?
Night Monitoring data is captured automatically and transmitted to the CCN Health platform, which syncs bi-directionally with athenahealth. No manual entry is required.
Does night monitoring qualify for RPM billing?
Yes. Night Monitoring data transmissions count toward the monitoring requirements for RPM CPT codes when combined with CCN Health's clinical oversight services.
What is the implementation process?
CCN Health handles the full setup: sensor deployment, alert configuration, athenahealth integration, staff training, and ongoing support.
Technology that stays in the background — so care stays in the foreground.

Common Questions
Frequently Asked Questions
Everything you need to know about implementation, billing, and clinical workflows.
Yes. CCN Health integrates with athenahealth so that RPM data flows directly into patient charts, reducing manual documentation and improving care coordination.
RPM uses FDA-cleared connected devices to collect patient vitals—such as blood pressure, weight, and glucose—outside of traditional clinical settings, enabling proactive care and early intervention.
The primary RPM CPT codes are 99453 (device setup), 99454 (monthly device supply/data transmission), 99457 (first 20 min clinical review), and 99458 (each additional 20 min).
Night monitoring uses passive sensors to track vitals and movement during sleep, alerting staff to concerning changes without disturbing the resident.
Most facilities are fully operational within 2–4 weeks. CCN Health handles device provisioning, EHR integration setup, staff training, and ongoing clinical support.
