TeleMonitoring
The HomMed Monitoring System utilized by the Agency includes the monitor, a scale, a blood pressure cuff and a finger sensor (for obtaining heart rate and oxygen level). The equipment is set up in the client's home and is programmed to prompt at the same time daily. Voice prompts and text on the monitor face will guide the client step by step through obtaining vital signs and answering the questions programmed that are specific to the client's medical diagnosis. The entire process takes only a few minutes. After the monitor collects the client information, it sends it to the Agency. - A Registered Nurse at the office will review the vital signs which are transmitted daily. All client information is confidential.
