PDPM And TeleHealth Solutions
Dr. Waseem Ghannam, CEO & Co-Founder of TeleHealth Solution, puts it down ever so eloquently:
“Tools, tools, I give you tools
I give you tools, tools
I give you tools, ooh
These tools are for you to use
These tools are for you to use me
Oooh, use me, what you want me for
Use me
Oooh, use me, what you want me for
Use me
Yeah, oh, use me, ooh-ooh
Use me what you want me for”- Future “Use Me”
With PDPM coming, we at TeleHealth Solution™ give our clients the “tools to use us”
Vignette:
One of our O-HI-O clients calls us at midnight:
85 year old male patient with chest pain.
He is a DNR patient under a managed care program.
Hx of CAD, A-fib, CHF
We use our “bulky telemedicine” cart to say hello to the gentlemen, describing his chest pain.
We then reach for our HandoverHeart EKG glove by RYK Medical Solutions which is all powered by @AMD Global Telemedicine, Inc. AgnesInTheCloud software and in less than 4 min we have an instant EKG on the patient. He went back into A-fib.
