BERKELEY HEIGHTS, N.J., Feb. 11 /PRNewswire/ -- ExpressMD(TM)
Solutions, a provider of remote patient monitoring systems and
services for patients with chronic illnesses, announced today that
Traditional Home Health and Hospice in Dunmore, PA selected
ExpressMD's Electronic House Call(TM) system for use in their
Congestive Heart Failure (CHF) patient management program.
Gray-Paul Bossi, President of Traditional Home Health stated, "Our
clinical team evaluated all the remote monitoring devices available
that specialize in CHF patient management and selected ExpressMD's
Electronic House Call system due to the superior capabilities of
both the web-based management and monitoring software and the
monitoring devices that comprise the solution. We believe that the
Electronic House Call will significantly enhance our ability to
manage CHF patient care programs." Electronic House Call will be
used by Traditional Home Health and Hospice to remotely manage
their CHF patient population. The system transmits patient vital
signs data on a daily basis through the Internet to their patients'
licensed providers, so they can monitor and adjust patient care
accordingly. Remote patient monitoring has been proven to improve
patient adherence to their care plans, reduce the incidence of
emergency hospital readmissions, improve outcomes in patients with
chronic conditions such as CHF and reduce the overall cost of
patient care. "ExpressMD Solutions has been selected by Traditional
Home Health because of the system's flexibility to adapt to new
disease management models easily and quickly. We recognize the
importance of meeting our customer's needs and are working with
other health plans to adopt this flexible and innovative telehealth
system for their patients' disease management programs," commented
Ronald Mills, Managing Director of ExpressMD Solutions. About
