BERKELEY HEIGHTS, N.J.,
Aug. 5 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ --
ExpressMD™ Solutions, a provider of remote patient monitoring
systems and services for patients with chronic illnesses, today
announced that it has signed a non-exclusive national distribution
agreement with Rotech Healthcare Inc. for the Electronic House
Call™ remote patient monitoring solution. Initially, Rotech
will be providing ExpressMD's solution to chronically ill patients
who have been referred by a national health plan. The health
plan wants to reduce rehospitalizations for at risk patients as
well as the severity of reoccurrences by having Rotech implement
this innovative telehealth solution.
"The Electronic House Call solution adds exciting new
capabilities to Rotech's existing product line, providing our
customers with a new approach to improving care for patients with
chronic conditions," said Mary
Clark, Chief Contracts Officer at Rotech Healthcare Inc.
The Electronic House Call solution allows providers to remotely
monitor the vital signs of their patients using the Web, make
adjustments to patient care plans and intervene in a timely manner
if their patients encounter any issues before they become an acute
care incident. On-call providers are automatically notified if a
patient's vital signs are outside of the limits pre-set by their
care providers.
"We look forward to contributing to Rotech's success in the
healthcare marketplace by providing them with solutions that help
to improve patient care and compliance. ExpressMD Solutions will
continue to support the growing needs of distributors as well as
our direct customers," said Ronald
Mills, Managing Director of ExpressMD Solutions.
