Abstract/OtherAbstract:
Effective use of telemonitoring equipment can reduce costs of providing home health care and increase revenues enough to ensure the fiscal health of this industry segment. Using telemonitoring as a basis, a home health agency can develop a disease management program, making itself more attractive to managed care organizations. Telemonitoring offers home health agencies a means to partner with hospitals to help reduce length of stay and recurrent hospitalizations of patients with chronic illness.
