BERKELEY HEIGHTS, N.J.,
July 20 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ --
Primary Wound Care Specialists, LLC a leading provider of Wound
Care prevention and therapeutic services, has selected the
ExpressMD Solutions™ Electronic House Call™ (EHC) remote patient
monitoring solution as part of an expanded pilot program for wound
care management.
"The Primary Wound Care Specialist Program is delivered through
a network of 16 clinics in Florida
and includes an extensive program for in-home patient management.
The contribution of the ExpressMD EHC solution will give our
clinical team a new and exciting method of providing the necessary
information to the various healthcare providers who collaborate on
our patient care progress. EHC will also allow us to more
effectively track and characterize the day-to-day progress made by
a patient between doctor visits," commented Andy Castellanos, President of Primary Wound
Care Specialists, LLC.
The ExpressMD EHC remote patient monitoring solution enables
homecare providers to monitor patients remotely. Remote
monitoring allows for fewer in-person doctor visits or emergency
room visits, while providing more frequent updates of patient data
to healthcare providers, which reduces costs and allows for
improved patient care. Homecare providers can use remote patient
monitoring to oversee patients who require wound care
management or for those who have chronic diseases such as Chronic
Heart Failure (CHF), Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease (COPD),
Diabetes, Hypertension and Sleep Apnea.
The ExpressMD EHC innovative 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 in-home EHC
touch screen device delivers better continuity of care to specific
patient segments that require regular monitoring of medical
conditions. Automated reminders increase patients' compliance with
care plans, diets, medication schedules and follow-up physician
visits. While improving medical condition monitoring, EHC can also
provide patients with online wound care or disease management
education. Healthcare providers can view each patient's vital
statistics and make adjustments to care plans online, which is then
communicated to the patient via the EHC device.
"We are pleased to have the opportunity to work with Primary
Wound Care Specialists to enhance their existing program with the
EHC solution," stated Ronald Mills,
Managing Director of ExpressMD Solutions. "Their commitment to
improved patient care and education is important to the success of
this innovative program."
