Home Health Telemonitoring
Electronic health monitoring equipment that patients keep in their homes provides vital information to nurses and physicians. Information such as heart rate, blood pressure, weight, oxygen saturation and temperature can be captured and transmitted to VNS. Professional clinicians receive the information immediately and can respond appropriately. Home health monitoring helps ensure that conditions are identified and treated early, thus eliminating the need for an emergency hospital visit. Home Health Monitoring is perfect for patients who are recently released from hospitals, emergency rooms or extended care facilities, as well as people with chronic illnesses, such as congestive heart failure, who require frequent monitoring of vital signs. Patients who meet the selection criteria can receive monitoring services at no cost. Other patients can request the service at a nominal fee.
