Honeywell HomMed®
Home Monitoring System
Columbia Montour Home Health Services/VNA is pleased to offer a program called the Honeywell HomMed® Home Monitoring System which is available in Columbia, Montour, Luzerne and Northumberland Counties. The Honeywell HomMed® Monitoring System provides daily at-home monitoring of vital signs for patients with various health conditions.
The system gives the users the best of both worlds, the comfort and independence of staying at home and the security of daily monitoring and follow-up medical attention if necessary.
How Does The Monitor Work?
The Honeywell HomMed® System is comprised of two main components: the home unit that is placed in the patient’s home and the central station. The home unit is a vital-sign monitoring and communication device that measures weight, blood pressure, heart rate and other tests. The data is automatically sent to the central station which is located at Columbia Montour Home Health Services where the nursing staff interprets the data.
What are the benefits of in-home monitoring services?
It encourages patient independence by reinforcing the behavior and lifestyle changes needed to promote health.
It gives concerned family members the peace of mind that a professional nurse is “keeping an eye” on the patient on a daily basis and communicating important information to the physician.
It fosters active patient participation in the plan of care, producing better outcomes.
Who can use the monitor?
Patients who are referred to Columbia Montour Home Health Services/VNA and meet the selection criteria will be monitored at no cost to the patient. Patients not being followed by Columbia Montour Home Health Services/VNA have the option to lease the monitoring system
at a nominal fee.
The Honeywell HomMed® System can benefit anyone with a chronic illness or any other
health condition that needs frequent monitoring.
