KC's Home Health Care Implements the ExpressMD(TM) Remote Monitoring Solution to Improve Condition Outcomes for Patients With...
September 08 2011 - 8:00AM
KC's Home Health Care, Inc. (KC's) a leading home health agency in
the Kansas City, Missouri area, implemented ExpressMD's Electronic
House Callâ„¢ (EHC) remote vital signs monitoring solution to improve
condition outcomes for chronically ill patients in assisted care
facilities. This solution allows patients to submit daily input
through an EHC device designed for multi-patient monitoring without
leaving their assisted care facility. ExpressMD's telehealth
solution is well suited for patients who have chronic diseases such
as Chronic Heart Failure (CHF), Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary
Disease (COPD), Diabetes, Hypertension and Sleep Apnea, which are
the types of chronic illnesses that KC's Home Health Care manages.
"KC's decided to implement ExpressMD's remote monitoring
solution to extend the care continuum for the patients served by us
and our referring physicians. The ease of use for patients in their
homes or assisted living environments made this a straightforward
choice for our clinical team, and has enabled KC's to improve
patient care compared to other home care providers. ExpressMD's top
notch training and support services were also a major factor in our
considerations," commented Charles Johnson, President of KC's Home
Health Care, Inc.
The innovative ExpressMD remote patient monitoring solution
improves patient care and reduces costs by delivering results to
healthcare providers securely via the Web without requiring an
in-person physician or hospital visit. The easy-to-use touch screen
device delivers better continuity of care to specific patient
segments that require regular monitoring of medical conditions.
Automated reminders are designed to increase patients' compliance
with care plans, diets, medication schedules and follow-up
physician visits. The ExpressMD solution can also be used to
deliver disease-specific patient education as needed. Healthcare
providers can view each patient's vital statistics and make
adjustments to care plans online, which are then communicated to
the patient via the remote monitoring device.
"We welcome KC's Home Health Care to our growing Telehealth
community," said Marcus Wagstaff, Sales Director at Authentidate.
"Recently, we are seeing more home care companies like KC's
adopting our Telehealth technology to improve chronic illness
management."
