Communication Technology

offers new options for home care.

AS TECHNOLOGY EXPANDS TO MEET NEEDS OF OUR GROWING SENIOR POPULATION, you’ll find new terminology becoming commonplace. Words like “personal telehealth technology” and “remote patient monitoring” reflect an obvious trend where patients appreciate making informed healthcare decisions and exploring options that allow them to remain at home, where they are most comfortable. It makes sense economically and is a good solution for patients and for families seeking reassurance that their loved one is doing well.

Once, the only way to ensure rapid information flow and response was to keep the patient in the hospital. New systems are multidimensional, providing a range of critical data and communications from wherever the patient is. Portable devices expand the capacity of home health providers, giving especially those patients with chronic diseases a newfound freedom to remain in their homes.

Support systems like Honeywell’s Vitals Manager, allows patients to take a more active role in their own care, utilizing advanced technology with simple steps. Members of the care team are able to review important vital signs and manage medications consistently. It offers a direct link to medical personnel, and with the patient’s permission, with the family. Additionally, this portable data technology can provide critical health management information with real-time numbers and interactive capacity.

At Grayson Home Health we are committed to providing our patients and families with the most advanced technology available. And our commitment extends to delivering these sophisticated systems with the old-fashioned warmth and gentle care our patients tell us they value most. Because while emerging medical technology allows patients to remain comfortably in their homes, no device can replace the need for personal service.
