Accredited Nursing is pleased to offer Philips Telehealth telemonitoring services to our home care clients.
How does telemonitoring work?
Home telemonitoring provides timely information for clinical intervention. Remote Monitoring Services support better informed clinical decision-making and active involvement of patients in their own care. Every day, patients enrolled in the program may take one or more of their own vital sign measurements – including weight, blood pressure, pulse oximeter (oxygen saturation levels), and glucose levels – using wireless devices in their home.
Results are automatically transmitted to Philips Telehealth’s secure web-based server via the Telestation, the in-home communication device that also prompts patients to answer clinician-directed health and risk assessment survey questions. A care manager reviews each patient’s information on a web-based Clinical Review Application, and can alert his or her physician when a vital sign measurement or survey response falls outside established limits.
At Accredited Nursing, we believe that in-home care clients should be actively involved in their care, and Philips Telehealth can help both clients and caregivers extend the reach of home care services.
