VNA HomMed - Home Health Monitoring

VNA HomMed allows our Home Health Care team to monitor patients on a daily basis in between scheduled visits. Each day, the monitor talks the patient through an assessment, which includes collection of the following data:

• Heart rate
• Blood pressure
• Weight
• Oxygen saturation
• Temperature

Additional devices may also be used to collect and transmit more in-depth data such as blood glucose levels via a glucometer.

Through transmission across a digital wireless private network or telephone line, the information is promptly evaluated by our skilled nursing staff at a central station for any changes. In-home monitors provide our team the opportunity to detect potential health complications early on, which allows us to intervene and reduce the need for unexpected emergency room visits and rehospitalization.

The easy-to-use HomMed health monitoring system encourages patients to take a proactive role in the management of their own health, and reinforces positive behavior and lifestyle changes necessary for recovery and/or stabilization. The system also gives concerned loved ones peace of mind that the patient is being closely monitored on a daily basis.
