WIRELESS TELE-MONITORING

WHO IT HELPS

Our remote monitoring services support clients with a recent ER, hospital or nursing home discharge, those with chronic health issues such as cardiac disease, respiratory disease or diabetes, and those requiring close monitoring of their health status.

BENEFITS OF TELE-MONITORING

• Helps identify even small changes in healthy status earlier and prevents unnecessary ER visits and hospitalizations
• Gives peace of mind knowing that a medical professional is monitoring the patient’s health every day
• Helps individuals remain independent and healthy within the comfort of their own home
• Provides all care team members with the health information they need to provide the best level of healthcare possible
• Educates, encourages and motivates individuals to take better care of themselves and lead a healthier lifestyle

HOW IT WORKS

When a referral is made, we schedule a home visit where we install the equipment and teach the client or family how to use it.

Every day, the client can take their own measurements per tele-monitor and automatically send the information via phone line to Progressive Home Health and Hospice. Our tele-monitoring RN reviews the information and initiates clinical interventions. The RN also reports the information to the physician.

The wireless system transmits real time vital data into our centralized communication station, including the patient’s weight, glucose levels, oxygen saturation, blood pressure, vital signs, peak flow monitor, PT/INR meter and enhanced SPO2 algorithm.
There is no cost to Medicare eligible patients who are referred to us for home healthcare services and meet the selection criteria. Other individuals have the option of being monitored at a nominal fee. We’ll help you or your loved one determine if the eligibility requirements apply.
