Telemedicine

Telemedicine is an in-home monitoring system designed for the management of patients with:

Telemedicine utilizes Blue Tooth Technology along with the patient’s standard phone line to transmit vital clinical data to a secure HIPAA server. The information is remotely accessed via Internet connection by VNA and used to make objective, clinically sound decisions regarding the patient’s care. Research supports findings that show the many patient, physician and hospital benefits.
