Huron County Paramedic Services, through their Community Para-medicine Program, are partnering with Future Health Services to offer Remote Patient Monitoring services.
Huron County's Chief of Emergency Services Jeff Horseman explains that allows the patient's primary care giver to provide paramedics with a range of vital signs of a patient with chronic medical conditions.
“And Future Health Services will provide the equipment to the client and the client will use that equipment at set times throughout the day," explained Horseman. "If the patent's vital signs fall outside of those parameters, then our community paramedics will be notified.”
Paramedics will then contact the client and come out and do a visit with the client, determine what's going on and rectify the situation before calling an ambulance or needing a transport to a hospital.
“So prior to the client needing an ambulance or needing an emerge visit, or potentially needing to be hospitalized, we can treat whatever's going on, hopefully, in their own home," said Horseman. "With their physician and our medics and community nursing and whatever else needs to be involved."
