Health Care Solutions: Remote Patient Monitoring:
Extended Aged Care in the Home (EACH) ...
 |
High risk patients that are enrolled under the EACH programme demand significant resource allocation from the service providers. Nursing staff are in demand on a changing basis depending on the patient’s present health status. Managing these two populations is a critical task to ensure the delivery of care demanded in today’s health market. By using the TeleMedCare Service, service providers are able to manage a larger population of patients over a broad geographical area. They can achieve superior health outcomes not otherwise attainable.
The TeleMedCare Service offers flexibility to health professionals to manage patients in their own home. For the first time, professionals are able to extend their formal standards of care, into the informal settings of the home. |
Through the use of patient self-help and self-care tool kits, patients are:
- Better informed,
- Positive about self-care and self-help, and
- More confident and competent in adhering to the agreed therapeutic regimen.

Care givers are:

and their post acute recovery;
