Granite VNA recently introduced telehealth services to provide continuous support and monitoring for homecare patients who are managing chronic conditions such as congestive heart failure, chronic obstructive pulmonary disease, and others.

Patients with chronic health conditions who are receiving services from our homecare team will now benefit from extended support from Ibis Health, a digital medical company serving patients on Medicare. Ibis provides patients with daily vital signs monitoring, medication reminders, and support via a tablet device. Patients also have access to Ibis Health’s specialized clinical care team who can provide health coaching and personalized goals.

“Integrating Ibis Health’s telemonitoring technology into our care model enhances our home care teams’ ability to provide proactive, personalized support to the patients we serve,” said Granite VNA Chief Strategy Officer Julie Stone. “Ibis Health’s strong track record in chronic condition management makes them an ideal partner, and this collaboration ensures our patients benefit from continuous monitoring, timely intervention, and a more connected care experience”

Working in collaboration with patients’ homecare teams and primary care providers, Ibis Health monitors patients 24/7 and alerts their care teams to any changes in their condition. Even after patients are discharged from homecare services, Ibis Health will continue to support them via telemonitoring to ensure uninterrupted care in periods of greatest vulnerability. And Ibis Health can quickly and easily reconnect patients to Granite VNA if necessary, which helps to reduce hospitalization.

Granite VNA’s telemonitoring services through Ibis Health are a Medicare Part B benefit. Ibis Health also accepts Medicare Supplemental plans and there is no upfront cost to join.
