Patients can now be monitored daily via the “Well@Home” system and the patient's telephone line. Patient data is collected daily and can include; blood pressure, pulse, pulse oximetry, blood sugars, and weight. The monitors are programmed by the RN to be patient specific according to the patient’s needs and doctors orders. They also can provide education sessions directly related to the patient’s diagnosis and can be utilized to remind patients to take their medications. Research has proven that telehealth improves patient outcomes, reduces healthcare costs and improves patient’s quality of care for those dealing with chronic illnesses like congestive heart failure, chronic obstructive pulmonary disease and diabetes. Patients now are able to safely remain in their homes longer.
