CONCORD, New Hampshire—Granite VNA has introduced telehealth services to provide continuous support and monitoring for homecare patients managing chronic conditions such as congestive heart failure, chronic obstructive pulmonary disease, chronic kidney disease and others.
Patients with chronic health conditions who are receiving care from Granite VNA’s homecare team will now benefit from extended support from Ibis Health, a family-owned digital medical company serving patients on Medicare. Ibis provides daily vitals 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 homecare 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’ Granite VNA 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 Granite VNA care, Ibis Health continues to support them via telehealth to ensure uninterrupted care in periods of greatest vulnerability. Ibis Health can quickly reconnect patients to Granite VNA following discharge from homecare services.
Granite VNA’s telehealth 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.
