Excell Home Care & Hospice, Inc. Selects Cardiocom Telehealth Technology

Minneapolis, MN /PRNewswire/ -- Excell Home Care & Hospice, Inc., a leading provider of home care and hospice services in Oklahoma, announced it has entered into a business relationship with Cardiocom® to provide advanced home telehealth technology to patients with chronic illness. Cardiocom, the Experts in Telehealthsm, is a world class developer, manufacturer and clinical service provider of award-winning telehealth solutions.

Cardiocom's telehealth system provides an interactive opportunity to proactively manage patient care. Every day, Excell Home Care patients use the Cardiocom Commander Telehealth System to communicate with an Excell Home Care nurse. The Commander Home Telehealth System guides the patient through an interactive "Health Check" that includes the collection of symptoms, care plan compliance, and vital signs such as weight, blood pressure, oxygen saturation, heart rate and blood glucose readings. This information is immediately transmitted via a standard telephone line or cellular connection to the patient's clinician for review.

"The Cardiocom System is a key clinical tool that proactively ensures coordinated care from our agency to the patient's home," says Excell Home Care's CEO, Mina Acquaye, RN, BSN, MPH, CHCE. "By transmitting objective, real-time health data every day, the patient is connected to our medical team so that their plan of care can be adjusted, and early intervention can take place when needed. This system uses today's most advanced home care technology and monitoring services available. We anticipate that Cardiocom's unique system will improve patient outcome and quality of life," adds Mina.
