ExpressMD announced today that its Joint Venture
Partner Authentidate Holding Corp , a provider of secure
health information exchange, workflow management services and
telehealth solutions has been selected by the Department of Veteran
Affairs (VA) as a supplier for its Telehealth Program, already one
of the largest in the world. Authentidate was one of 6 companies
that were selected by the VA to receive a home telehealth contract
for this program in connection with its recent request for proposal
for home telehealth solutions. As an approved VA supplier, VA
facilities throughout the country will be able to utilize the
Electronic House Call™ (EHC) solution (licensed to the ExpressMD™
joint venture), and its Interactive Voice Response (IVR) system to
remotely monitor patients and enhance patient care. The VA contract
spans a five-year period, which consists of a one-year base period
and four optional one-year renewal periods.
The ExpressMD remote patient monitoring solution brings the kind
of personalized care to patients in their homes that was previously
only available in acute and post-acute care settings. Clinicians
use the EHC or the IVR solution to remotely monitor their patients'
vital signs and gather additional pertinent information about their
patients' health to supplement in-person visits. Clinicians can
review their patients' remote monitoring session results securely
using Authentidate's web-based application and remotely manage or
adjust their patients care plans, medication reminders and related
information. Clinicians can also use the EHC to provide
disease-specific education to their patients in real-time.
Healthcare providers are beginning to use remote patient
monitoring to deliver better continuity of care, especially for
patients with chronic illnesses. Telehealth solutions also benefit
patients who are in need of regular monitoring but are located far
from their physician or specialist. In addition, these patients
generally show higher compliance with care plans, resulting in a
reduction in hospital readmissions and overall improved
outcomes.
Ronald Mills, Manager Director of ExpressMD stated, "We are very
pleased to provide the product and solution to Authentidate Holding
Company for the VA contract. The product was developed by Encounter
Care Solutions and has been licensed to the ExpressMD joint
venture."
