Cutting-Edge
Technology, Traditional- Binding Care...
We
are among
a select few home health agencies nationally that provide telehealth services. The tele-health
program utilizes cutting-edge technology coupled with clinical disease-management protocols aimed to better manage the care
of the patient at his/ her home. Adding to face-to-face services provided by professionals at patients' homes, the telehealth
system allows health monitoring and management seven days a week.

telehealth services refer to the use of remote devices to allow the
patient to communicate and provide medical information to a health professional via live interactive telecommunications. Remote monitoring provides one or more objective physiologic data such as vital
signs, weight, pulse-oximetry, blood pressure, temperature, blood sugar levels, etc. They also provide subjective data such
as disease management education assessment, symptom assessment and knowledge assessment from the patient to a distant location
using a capturing device and telecommunications links. Telehealth services also includes features like EKG, and peak-
flow measurements as well. When used as part of
a coordinated, comprehensive care program, home telehealth has demonstrated quality improvement, allows the individual the
dignity of remaining in their own place of residence for a longer time, improves client safety, and provides superior care.
