HomeCare HomeBase™ Partners with Cardiocom® To Deploy Integrated Telehealth Solution
DALLAS, TX

Today, Homecare Homebase, a leading provider of home health and hospice agency automation software, and Cardiocom, the Experts in TelehealthSM, announced a partnership to integrate the Cardiocom Telehealth System directly into Homecare Homebase. This partnership will enable Homecare Homebase customers to not only remotely monitor patient vitals, but also integrate their health information automatically into their electronic medical record.

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.”
