Some chronic conditions demand a closer look at vital signs, such as asthma, diabetes, hypertension and heart disease. That’s why enrollees diagnosed with those conditions receive easy-to-use telehealth devices to help track trends in blood pressure, cholesterol, glucose levels, weight, peak flow readings and other metrics.
Each enrollee is instructed in the use of the condition specific monitor. Readings can be taken at home, work or school and then transmitted to the FHS clinical team. Our nurses assist enrollees with the education on what to do when readings are not on track. Communication with the enrollees' physican remains critical in supporting ongoing care.
