Telemonitoring Services
With Valley Home Care’s telemonitoring program, a patient’s care doesn’t end when our nurse leaves their home. Our cardiac nurses remotely monitor patients’ weight, blood pressure, blood oxygen levels and heart rate daily. Having real-time access to the most up-to-date patient information enables our nurses to intervene quickly if any problems arise.
Telemonitoring, in conjunction with a prescribed plan of care, has been shown to:
- Reduce the need for a re-hospitalization
- Enhance patient compliance
- Increase patient confidence
