Telehealth Program

Home Telehealth is peace of mind at the touch of a button. VNANNJ Telehealth is a wonderful tool to supplement home care and doctor visits, so that problems can be detected earlier — between nursing visits — to avoid frequent hospitalization. This easy-to-use in-home monitoring system uses communications technology to enhance conventional home nursing care by providing remote interactive monitoring over audio and visual connections. Some of the benefits of the technology include:

1. The Telehealth equipment collects real-time, vital sign data from the comfort of a patient's home and provides it directly to the home health care provider.
2. The Telehealth monitoring unit is used to collect data including heart rate, blood pressure, blood oxygen saturation, weight, blood glucose levels and lung sounds.
3. The data enables the home care providers to be much more proactive in monitoring and establishing individual patient trends to further improve home nursing care outcomes.
4. Telehealth provides the patient the comforts and independence of home while maintaining the security of ongoing monitoring and proper medical attention.

Telehealth is a proven system that has successfully served thousands of patients. It is becoming a mainstream medical solution, and Medicare, Medicaid and private insurance may provide coverage under certain conditions.
