Remote Patient Monitoring

As part of the program, patients with chronic illnesses such as heart failure, chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD), diabetes or high blood pressure track their vital signs and conditions daily on easy-to-use wireless devices. Patients are also prompted to answer questions about their health and how they are feeling. The information is then transmitted electronically to the telehealth nurse who looks for changes in the patient’s status or results that fall outside normal limits. The telehealth nurse will monitor results and follow up with a phone call and will contact the patient’s home health nurse or physician if needed.

The entire process takes only a few minutes and can be done at any time of the day that is convenient for you.
