Problem

COPD patients have a high rate of readmissions. It's a difficult condition to control and historically has high rates of non-adherence. Healthcare organizations are often penalized under CMS's hospital readmission reduction program (HRRP) for readmissions within 30 days. Even worse, this progressive illness can lead to death if not treated properly

Solution

HRS' telehealth and remote patient monitoring solutions can address these problems through symptom surveys, patient education, and vital sign monitoring through pulse oximeters, BP cuffs, heart rate monitoring and temperature monitoring. Additionally, virtual care through our tablet or mobile app can be utilized for regular care visits and triage purposes when there is an exacerbation of some type.
