Telehealth FAQ's

Inside Telehealth

Telehealth / Telehealth FAQ's / WATR Guest Appearance

hVNA Health at Home's Telehealth Program made the front page in March, 2009!

The Waterbury Republican American surveyed its readers:

"Would they be interested in having Telehealth for themselves?"

An overwhelming 64% of those surveyed indicated that they would be interested in participating in Telehealth when and if there was a need for it.

Check out our FAQ's below!

 

 
Is Telehealth the right choice for me?

 

It is designed for patients living at home who have chronic conditions, such as COPD, cancer, congestive heart failure, or diabetes. It is also designed for acute care patients who need to have their vital signs monitored every day following a hospitalization or therapy, but who are not ill enough to be in a skilled nursing facility.

Do I need the Internet to have Telehealth?

 

No.  Telehealth uses land line phone connections.

Is my information secure?

 

Yes.  VNA Health at Home nurses logs onto a secure website to view patients' data.

Do I pay anything for Telehealth?

 

No, there is no cost to the patient.

Am I required to use Telehealth?

 

No.  Patients are enrolled only after a referral, and no one is forced to participate.

Does the equipment take up a lot of space? My apartment is small.

 

No. The equipment is compact, and our Telehealth representative is experienced in custom installing the equipment according to the patient's living area.
