Telemonitoring:
Traditionally, home care provides a limited number of home visits. Phelps Regional Homecare clinically manages patients seven days a week, in addition to scheduled visits with the use of our Honeywell HomMed™ Health Monitoring System.
Recommended criteria include Home Health patients with:
• Recent hospitalization or emergency room visit for existing chronic conditions
• Any condition requiring frequent monitoring or trending of vital signs to facilitate clinical management
What clinical data can the home monitor collect and transmit?
• Daily and PRN measurements can be made of heart rate, blood pressure, mean arterial pressure, weight, oxygen saturation, blood glucose levels and prothrombin time. In addition, up to ten subjective questions allow for a comprehensive assessment of patient status.
