BERKELEY HEIGHTS, N.J.,
June 29 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ --
ExpressMD™ Solutions, a provider of remote patient monitoring
systems and services for patients with chronic illnesses, today
announced that Health Resource Solutions (HRS), a leading high-tech
home health and rehabilitation care company in Chicago, IL selected Electronic House Call™
(EHC) as their next-generation remote patient monitoring
platform.
"Telehealth has always been a part of the HRS patient care
strategy because it increases patient care, while decreasing
rehospitalizations. Electronic House Call is an up-to-date,
flexible telehealth solution that allows us to manage many
different disease care protocols in patients' homes with the single
EHC device. Telemonitoring is a win-win situation for patients,
payers, hospitals and home health agencies by reducing the overall
costs of rehospitalizations and providing a monitored in-home
support system for recuperative care," commented Glenn Steigbigel, Administrator at Health
Resource Solutions.
The Electronic House Call remote patient monitoring solution
enables homecare companies to monitor patients remotely, saving
costs and keeping patients healthy. Many homecare companies use
telehealth to manage patients with chronic diseases such as CHF,
COPD, Diabetes, Hypertension and Sleep Apnea. The EHC system
improves chronic illness care and reduces costs by delivering
results to healthcare providers securely on the web without
in-person or emergency room visits. The easy-to-use in-home EHC
touch screen unit delivers better continuity of care to specific
patient segments such as the elderly, special needs or pediatric
patients with chronic illnesses who require monitoring of medical
conditions. Automated reminders increase patients' compliance with
care plans, diets, medication schedules and follow-up physician
visits effortlessly. And, while improving medical condition
monitoring, EHC also provides patients with online disease
management education. Care providers can view patient's vital
statistics and make adjustments to care plans online.
"Our mission is to provide the best solutions that enable the
homecare industry to coordinate care for patients by simplifying
both administrative and clinical processes. Electronic House
Call allows HRS to deliver on their commitment to referring
hospitals, doctors, patients and caregivers by delivering the
highest quality of care to their patients," concluded Gavin Stewart, Senior Director of Business
Development at Authentidate and ExpressMD Solutions. "Additionally,
these monitors are being used on a specific group of pediatric
patients that opens up a whole new market for our company."
