Complements Living with Heart Failure & Breathe Easy Programs

McLean Home Care offers a Telemonitoring program to complement its Living with Heart Failure and Breathe Easy programs. Imagine learning to manage your heart or lung symptoms for a better quality of life and knowing when to report concerns to your doctor before you need urgent care or hospitalization.

The American Telemedicine Association stresses that we can achieve quality healthcare outcomes through the use of cuttingedge telecommunications technology. Studies over the past decade indicate that Telemonitoring helps reduce hospitalizations for patients living with chronic heart and lung conditions. This success is due to both the daily patient education that happens with the daily Telemonitoring process, as well as the professional monitoring of data such as weight, blood pressure, heart rate, and oxygen levels.

McLean’s Telemonitoring uses digital technology to offer daily oversight and peace of mind to homebound patients cared for by McLean’s team of visiting nurses and therapists. McLean Home Care provides Telemonitoring to proactively help patients reach their optimum level of wellness, and minimize medical crises.

McLean’s Telemonitoring provides:

• Daily monitoring of blood pressure, heart rate, weight and oxygen saturation levels
• Important symptom questions asked of each patient
• A weekly data report option for physicians
