TeleCare

VNA TeleCare is daily, in-home health monitoring for patients with serious health conditions such as heart failure, chronic pulmonary disease and diabetes. Through the use of an in-home, wireless monitor, important health information is collected daily to detect even slight health changes. When these changes are detected early, there is an opportunity for immediate corrective action in the patient’s home.

The wireless monitor, which is the size of a clock radio, collects important health information such as:

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

Here’s how it works. Every morning, the in-home monitor “talks” the patient through a user-friendly information collection process. Then it wirelessly transmits the data to our VNA offices, where Advanced Practice Nurses review the information and take immediate action, if needed. Reports are sent to the patient’s physician for assessment.

Since 2002, VNA TeleCare has been successfully helping patients improve their health and have fewer hospital admissions and ER visits. It gives VNA patients the best of both worlds: the comfort of home and the security of daily monitoring and medical attention.

VNA TeleCare is FREE to patients under VNA care who meet health criteria determined by a physician.
