“Cardiocom provides an innovative service to the Telehealth industry,” said Keith Crownover, President and CEO of Delta Health Technologies. “By providing our customers with integration between our systems, they can effectively utilize telehealth services without the frustration and worry associated with combining two separate structures. This benefit allows them to focus on their patients’ health rather than technology challenges.”

Clinicians can note in Delta’s Encore® solution that a patient has a Cardiocom Telehealth device in their home.  This notation will automatically send a notification to Cardiocom’s Omnivisor® Pro System to create a new telehealth record for the patient.  On an ongoing basis, while the patient is monitored at home using a Cardiocom Telehealth device, the patient’s vital sign, symptom data, and telehealth notes are sent to the Delta Encore solution.  By seamlessly integrating this data into Encore, homecare and hospice clinicians are provided real-time access to all of the patient’s telehealth data at the point of care.  This helps promote the most efficient and effective patient care while helping to foster improved outcomes.

“Cardiocom is pleased to collaborate with Delta on this robust, bi-directional interface.  This integration offers customers immediate access to actionable data to better coordinate transitions to the home which results in better outcomes for patients and providers,” said Daniel L. Cosentino, President and CEO of Cardiocom.

Approximately 100 million Americans suffer from one or more chronic illnesses such as congestive heart failure, chronic obstructive pulmonary disease, hypertension, and diabetes, and these conditions account for more than 75 percent of annual health care costs in the U.S.
With home telemonitoring, patients with congestive heart failure can have their weight monitored; a sudden spike in weight can indicate fluid buildup due to a worsening condition. Diabetes patients can be monitored to make sure they regularly check their blood glucose levels and maintain them within a healthy range. Unexplained fainting spells and other symptoms could indicate problems for cardiac patients that can be difficult to diagnose if not being monitored regularly. But if caught early via telemonitoring, treatment for these conditions can be more easily managed and patient hospitalizations can be reduced.

“We’ve always been ahead of the curve when it comes to incorporating technology into home health care, and we’re pleased to provide this next generation in telemonitoring to our patients,” said Judith Boyko, CEO of the Natick Visiting Nurse Association. “We can help doctors take better care of their patients, and help patients to stay at home, avoiding unnecessary hospitalization. In fact, our telemonitoring program has also saved lives. Our nurses have been able to help patients prevent trips to the emergency room and admission to the hospital by identifying warning signs with the telemonitor before they become major problems.”

Every day, patients use the Commander Flex to communicate with a Natick VNA nurse. With the unit placed conveniently in their home, patients are guided through an interactive assessment of their symptoms - delivered by voice prompts and large-type screen text in either English or Spanish. Vital signs including weight, blood pressure, oxygen saturation and heart rate are collected, depending upon the patient’s diagnosis, using a digital scale, blood pressure cuff, finger sensor and glucose meter. Results are then transmitted to the Natick VNA’s headquarters via a standard phone line or cellular connection. The agency’s specially trained nurses immediately read the results. If they detect any problems they make a call to the patient right away to check in by phone. 

In addition, the system stands apart from other home telehealth monitors in that it incorporates an interactive questionnaire to evaluate the patient’s condition and severity of symptoms. Any time a patient answers a question with a response that might indicate a concern, the Commander Flex probes further with a series of questions. This helps to identify any potential problems, alerting the Natick VNA nurse who can contact the patient, assess the situation and take the necessary steps, whether a visit from a nurse, or a call to the physician. Educational feedback and health tips are also provided to patients depending upon their responses. 

Telemonitors play a vital role in keeping patients as healthy as possible. And with this new technology, the Natick VNA’s patients can be active participants in their own care; its interactive features help them to be mindful of their conditions and take greater responsibility for their own health.

The Essentia Health Heart Failure Program (formerly St. Mary's Duluth Clinic Heart Failure Program) began more than a decade ago in Duluth, Minn. The program uses a special telemonitoring scale that records patient weight, asks them questions about their health, and transmits the vital information to a cardiac nurse, who can make changes to medications and track patient condition on a daily basis.

While national hospital readmission rates for congestive heart failure patients at six months are 40 to 50 percent, Essentia's sickest heart failure patients, who use the telescale, have readmission rates from 0 to 2 percent. Readmission rates for all patients in the program have hovered around 3 to 7 percent.

The cost benefit is also impressive. An Essentia Health study conducted in partnership with insurance company Blue Cross Blue Shield of Minnesota showed $1.25 million in savings for just 29 patients over six months.

These statistics caught the attention of a federal program designed to quickly spread great healthcare ideas across the nation – the Health Care Innovations Exchange, part of the Agency for Healthcare Research and Quality (AHRQ).

Linda Wick, NP, Heart Failure program manager, is showcasing this concept today before a panel representing investors, insurers, charitable foundations and healthcare consultants at the AHRQ Innovations. The group will discuss how this program's success could be replicated at other institutions around the country.

"The Innovations Exchange does a rigorous review of programs before deciding to share them nationwide," Wick says. "Our Heart Failure Program is proven to improve patients' care while decreasing costs. We are at the forefront of what healthcare reform is all about."

Being recognized by the Health Care Innovations Exchange is one of the many ways Essentia Health is providing creative solutions to healthcare challenges, says Chief Medical Officer Carl Heltne, MD. A cardiologist by training, Heltne founded the Heart Failure Program in 1998.

"Our vision for Essentia Health is to be a national leader in providing high quality, cost-effective integrated healthcare services, particularly in rural areas," says Heltne. "This program improves quality of life while substantially reducing costs. It's exactly the type of leadership we are talking about."

Every day, Jack Luzovich, a 61 year-old congestive heart failure patient at Essentia Health, steps on his telescale to keep him in his northern Minnesota home, rather than the hospital.

Last summer, his health hit a low point. "I was retaining fluid and my weight was going up and down," he remembers. "I couldn't walk more than 10 to 15 feet. I was on oxygen, jaundiced, and had almost no kidney function."

Luzovich sees the value of the program for heart failure patients like him. A year after he began using the scale, his health is greatly improved. He's back enjoying his favorite hobbies, like woodworking in his basement.

"Now I'm running up and down stairs," he says. "Before, it was up two steps and stop."
Luzovich had a left ventricular assist device placed last summer, which keeps his heart pumping. As he waits on the heart transplant list, he continues to use his telescale and keeps in regular contact with his caregivers at Essentia Health.

"It's been a lifesaver for my wife and me," Luzovich says. "This keeps you from getting into really major trouble. The nurses in the program have become like family."

Cardiocom combines advanced telehealth technologies and expert nurse services enabling them to achieve a superior customer relationship and a competitive edge over other companies in the remote patient monitoring market. “Products offered by Cardiocom include COMMANDER®, TELESCALE®, AUTOLINK®, GLUCOCOM® and OMNIVISOR®. All of these products utilize advanced connectivity solutions in both its hardware and software components,” states Frost & Sullivan Research Analyst Arjunvasan Ambigapathy. “In addition, Cardiocom’s Integrated Nurse Services Program, which is unique in the industry, provides a turn-key solution that comes with rapid ramp-up, predictable costs and proven outcomes.”

The COMMANDER telemonitoring device is an integrated system that includes Cardiocom developed peripheral biometric devices to monitor weight, blood pressure, blood glucose, oxygen saturation and peak flow. It also features an intelligent clinical branching logic system that presents questions based on the patient’s responses to previous ones.

The TELESCALE telemonitoring device is programmed to provide instant feedback to users based on the variance in daily patient weight. It includes an integrated messaging and weighing system along with waist-height patient interface that can weigh patients up to 500 lbs. with accuracy and consistency of ±0.1 lb. Cardiocom’s AUTOLINK device connects with GLUCOCOM, a proprietary blood glucose meter, to remotely measure blood glucose levels. All telemonitoring trended information is then accessed using the OMNIVISOR patient data management system.

Unlike other remote monitoring software products that merely report vital sign readings, Cardiocom’s OMNIVISOR offers detailed analysis of patient data. In addition to high scalability of application, OMNIVISOR can exchange data with electronic medical records using certified industry standard interface methodologies.

“Cardiocom has implemented a comprehensive, analytical approach by incorporating advanced telehealth software algorithms and effective nurse service programs which provide cost benefits and efficiency in telehealth care to customers” says Ambigapathy. He also notes, “Each Cardiocom call center nurse is capable of monitoring and coordinating care of 250+ patients, delivering a highly efficient service at a low cost. Cardiocom provides a wide array of clinical management services including; identification, stratification, enrollment, intake assessment, health survey screening, coaching, intervention, high-risk management and outcome reporting. It provides timely interventions at the “teachable moment” to reduce hospitalization and ER visits.”

Adopting Cardiocom’s range of solutions offers numerous benefits that create opportunities for accountable care organizations, medical homes, home health, health plans, hospitals, and specialty care organizations. Frost & Sullivan recognizes that Cardiocom periodically obtains feedback from customers, which forms a vital component for their strategic planning when developing or releasing a new product to the market, as one reason contributing to its innovation. Such an important activity creates an enhanced value for Cardiocom’s customers.

Each year, Frost & Sullivan presents this award to the company that has developed a pioneering technology that not only enhances current products but also enables the development of newer products and applications.

“We are excited about the benefits that this new relationship provides to our clients.”

“HealthWyse has always been focused on addressing the specific needs of home health and hospice clinicians,” said Mike Kramer, Ph.D., CEO of HealthWyse. “Together with Cardiocom, we’re making sure home care nurses and clinicians have all of the necessary patient information contained in the HealthWyse electronic medical record to enable them to focus on the patient and deliver quality care.”

This software integration enables home health nurses and clinicians to have continuously updated information on patients suffering from chronic conditions including congestive heart failure (CHF) and chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD), among others. Cardiocom’s telemonitoring services track vital signs, symptoms data and other important information to help patients and their clinicians monitor their condition. By integrating this information into HealthWyse, home care clinicians have access to all of the patient’s medical information at the point of care and in turn can make a positive impact on patient care.

“Cardiocom is committed to working with enterprise level home care technology firms to allow telehealth data to follow the patient throughout the care continuum,” said Daniel L. Cosentino, CEO and President of Cardiocom. “We are excited about the benefits that this new relationship provides to our clients.”

HealthWyse customers are already seeing the benefits of the new software integration. The Norwell Visiting Nurse Association (NVNA) and Hospice, in Norwell, Mass., monitors nearly 130 patients using Cardiocom systems and immediately recognized the value of integrating Cardiocom data into HealthWyse. The data is available in real-time, providing nurses and clinicians in the field with a more complete patient record with which to make workflow and care decisions. As a result, caretakers can swiftly intervene in the event of an emergency, provide additional care when needed and deliver better patient care overall.

“By combining the telemonitoring information with the clinical chart, our nurses are armed with a complete record to provide better patient care and avoid hospital readmissions,” said Jackie Crossen-Sills, PT, Ph.D., Director of Education & Research at NVNA and Hospice. “This functionality lets us make real time decisions that result in better patient outcomes.”

With health reform incentives to hospitals to reduce readmission rates, and initiatives to improve care coordination for chronic conditions, this data reveals timely information for patients and health systems.

The white paper discusses:

• How telemonitoring works

The Cardiocom Telehealth System enables the agency to monitor patients' daily vital signs and symptoms. Using the patient's phone or wireless connection, data is transmitted in real-time from the patient's home to the Homecare Homebase solution. The Cardiocom Telemonitoring System guides the patient through an interactive Health Check using a series of intuitive health and wellness-related questions. The system collects various vital signs including: weight, blood pressure, oxygen saturation and heart rate. The result is improved efficiency, more proactive patient care and ultimately a better outcome for the patient.

"Integrating telehealth into a home health and hospice agency automation is a natural evolution," said Daniel L. Cosentino, CEO and President of Cardiocom. "Homecare Homebase embraced this idea as a means to improve outcomes and enable agencies to provide the most comprehensive patient care."

Developed by home health and hospice professionals, Homecare Homebase is the most comprehensive, web-based software solution available for improving clinical workflow, increasing cash flow and streamlining agency operations. This powerful, wireless automation solution uses proprietary compression software to sync visit data in less than two minutes, and gives agencies the power to provide superior patient care through better coordination of all caregivers, including the patient's family.

"In a time of increasing pressure on agencies to become more efficient and do more with less resources telehealth is playing an increasingly important role in the delivery of home health care," said Tom Maxwell, COO of Homecare Homebase. "Partnering with a best-in-class provider like Cardiocom enables Homecare Homebase to extend the functionality of our solution to allow agencies to more closely monitor each patient while streamlining the flow of information among the care team and ultimately providing the best in patient care."

Cardiocom's Commander Telehealth System provides an interactive opportunity to proactively manage patient care. The system guides the patient through an interactive "health check" that includes the collection of symptoms, care plan compliance, and vital signs such as weight, blood pressure, oxygen saturation and heart rate. This information is immediately transmitted over a standard phone line or a cellular signal to the patient's nurse for review.

"It's estimated that three-fourths of all health care spending is associated with patients with one or more chronic health conditions. Many of these patients are homebound seniors served by home care agencies like ours. It's imperative that we find effective ways to keep them healthy at home and out of expensive institutional care. We chose the Cardiocom telemonitoring system because we felt it provided the best opportunity for our company to impact the quality of care we deliver and help our patients maintain their independence at home, "said Judy Bishop, CEO of Guardian.

Bishop added that telemonitoring will increasingly become more important as all health care providers move toward "Value Based Purchasing," meaning quality patient outcomes will equal higher Medicare reimbursement. Hospitals, for example, will be penalized for hospital readmissions.

"When a chronically ill patient returns from a hospital stay, that's when they are most fragile and susceptible to complications. Research indicates that early home care use reduces Medicare post-hospitalization by billions of dollars. Having the ability to immediately monitor these patients with telehealth technology will give our nurses a tremendous tool to enhance patient care and save the government a lot of money in the process," she said.

Cardiocom's telehealth system provides an interactive opportunity to proactively manage patient care. Every day, patients of Silas Home Care use the Cardiocom Telehealth System to communicate with a Silas home health nurse. The Home Telemonitoring System guides the patient through an interactive Health Check and collection of vital signs including: weight, blood pressure, oxygen saturation, blood glucose and heart rate. This information is immediately transmitted via a standard phone line to the patient's caregiver for review.

"The Cardiocom System is a valuable device that proactively ensures coordinated care from our staff visitations and client self monitoring," says John Dziubik, RN, Director of Nursing of Silas Home Care. "Cardiocom's Commander device reports measurable data that is vital to home care goals and we can adjust outcomes based on real time information. We are very excited about being one of the agencies using Cardiocom in the State of Michigan. Our agency is confident that with this business relationship completed and the launch of the Cardiocom System our clients will have a unique benefit to their care that they cannot find anywhere else," adds Robin E.

"The reason for Cardiocom's success in the emerging home telemonitoring market is clear - quality products and services," says Frost & Sullivan Research Analyst Zachary Bujnoch. "Many health agencies and hospitals feel that their older systems have not lived up to expectations, and as buyers begin to exercise more choices in their remote patient monitoring purchasing decisions, cutting-edge systems such as Cardiocom look better by comparison."

The way Cardiocom has positioned itself plays a critical part in differentiating it from competitors. Most companies in the home health monitoring and disease management markets reach outside of their core expertise for many of their needs, ranging from the acquisition of new technology to the full outsourcing of manufacturing devices and other major components. Cardiocom strives for the exact opposite.

Cardiocom's founders have leveraged their strong experience in medical device manufacturing to create a home monitoring company that designs, manufactures, and supports all of its products internally.

To achieve this, Cardiocom has its own in-house research and development team and manufacturing operations, along with a full call-center staffed by registered nurses. This initiative for vertical integration by Cardiocom has truly set this company apart from its competitors and has been key to its success.

Cardiocom's solutions are more than just biometric monitoring devices. The products and services operate as an integrated system for specific disease states. By incorporating state-of-the-art monitoring technology with targeted, personalized care management services and advanced rule-based software, Cardiocom offers its clients maximum patient management.

Many of Cardiocom's systems directly address a specific disease state, but more customizable monitoring options are also available for specific conditions. The two largest disease management services offered by Cardiocom are focused on cardiac conditions and diabetes, respectively. Other diseases that have dedicated systems include hypertension, end-stage renal failure, high-risk obesity, COPD, asthma, and obesity management.

Although the systems themselves are the true innovative "products" that this Frost & Sullivan Award addresses, it is worth noting that "many of the actual monitoring devices embedded in these systems were designed and developed by Cardiocom in-house." notes Zachary Bujnoch. In addition, many components are patented for use only in Cardiocom's systems, such as clinical branching logic and two-way patient messaging systems.

While other home telemonitoring and disease management companies were struggling to stay profitable or just stay in business, Cardiocom has maintained profitability for the past six years and is expected to continue on that path in the years to come.

In recognition of these achievements, Frost & Sullivan is proud to present Cardiocom with the 2008 Patient Monitoring Product Innovation of the Year Award.

Each year, Frost & Sullivan presents this Award to the company that has demonstrated the ability to develop and/or advance products with more innovative capabilities than competing vendors and products. The Award recognizes the company's successful adoption of new or existing technology that has become a part of its well-designed product family. Such innovation is expected to significantly contribute to the industry in terms of product performance and degree/rate of technical change.

Frost & Sullivan Best Practices Awards recognize companies in a variety of regional and global markets for demonstrating outstanding achievement and superior performance in areas such as leadership, technological innovation, customer service, and strategic product development. Industry analysts compare market participants and measure performance through in-depth interviews, analysis, and extensive secondary research in order to identify best practices in the industry.
