We are encouraging patient self management, how can CMS Telehealth assist us in this effort?
Through the patient’s own participation in a regular follow up and monitoring program, he or she learns the importance of monitoring their own vital signs and general well being, all of which are important to their long-term health. In addition, while the first training in how to use new devices to monitor vital signs such as their weight, blood pressure, heart rate and blood glucose takes place in the hospital or home care situation under the guidance of a nurse, live monitoring calls reinforce this training through regular interaction with your staff, who can answer questions and coach the patient on best use.
