Tracking Technology
We think of telehealth or telemedicine as patient and providers
talking to each other via a phone or email. One of the most
powerful aspect of telehealth is tracking patient vitals in a case
management situation. In most inpatient situations, patients
are released from the hospital under the care of a case
manager. The information that these case managers receive is
limited to the information provided by the patient. However,
when you insert tracking technology as the "Health Buddy" system,
patient information is provided daily, and case managers can help
the patient at an earlier stage. As health care continues to
advance, can you think of other possibilities of this technology to
improve patient treatment and care?
