Telehealth

Home telehealth is the remote care delivery or monitoring between a healthcare provider and a patient. There are two types of telehealth: phone monitoring (scheduled encounters via the telephone) and telemonitoring (collection and transmission of clinical data through electronic information processing technologies). Quality Improvement Organizations (QIOs) assist home health agencies in implementing and utilizing telehealth as a tool to help reduce acute care hospitalization.
