Home Telehealth
is a proven effective tool for providing quality care to patients
with pulmonary diseases. Patients with pulmonary diseases
often experience anxiety because of difficulty breathing.
In the comfort of their own homes, patients have the security
of knowing that a case manager is monitoring their vital signs
and other health related concerns. Early detection of changes
in health status enables the healthcare professional to provide
proactive clinical interventions preventing further decline,
ER visits and hospitalizations.
The following provides a sample of activities
available for patients with pulmonary disease.
