Home Health provides care to patients at home-where they receive support from trained medical professionals, family, friends, plus the comfort of familiar surroundings. Regardless of age, everyone appreciates the comfort and convenience of recovery in their home as an alternative to hospitalization or a nursing home. Home healthcare may also mean earlier discharge from the hospital, and lower healthcare costs. It is a personalized form of care, which may be paid by Medicare, Medicaid, private insurance, or directly by the patient. Learn more
We’ve seen the commercials-a video “doorbell” that lets you see and hear who is at your door. That kind of instant communication is now helping patients at CCH Home Health with telemonitoring. The first service of its kind offered at Campbell County Health in Gillette, Wyoming, telemonitoring transmits clinical information like blood pressure from the patient’s home to trained home health nurses in about four minutes.
If the home health nurse determines that a patient could benefit from home monitoring, patients receive a kit that contains a scale, blood pressure cuff, pulse oximeter (to measure oxygen levels in the body) and a transmitter. Additional equipment, like a glucometer (a device that measures blood sugar levels) can be added to the kits. The patient is then trained to use the equipment until they feel comfortable doing it without a Home Health nurse.
To learn more, contact Campbell County Health Home Health at 307-688-6230.
