Programs that utilize computer technology and telecommunications equipment to provide patient education services and vital sign monitoring and assessment of home health care patients who have already been diagnosed in a standard medical setting. Home health care nurses can "videovisit" patients who remain in the comfort of their homes and listen to heart and lung sounds, observe wound healing processes, receive vital sign readings (such as blood glucose measurements, blood pressure readings and oxygen levels), monitor medication compliance and send patient-centered information (such as medication compliance reminders and patient education modules) directly to the patient's home.
