MINNEAPOLIS, Minn., April 21, 2010 – Cardiocom announced that it has entered into a relationship with Thornberry to provide a two-way interface between Cardiocom’s Omnivisor Pro software and Thornberry’s clinical software, NDoc. Cardiocom is a developer, manufacturer and clinical service provider of telehealth solutions and Thornberry is the creator of NDoc, a point-of-care and billing software for hospice and home health agencies.
Twin Tier Home Health of Vestal, NY, is the first joint customer to actively implement this interface tool. Cardiocom’s telehealth system provides an opportunity to proactively manage and customize patient care. Twin Tier Home Health patients use the Cardiocom Commander Telehealth System to communicate with a Twin Tier telehealth nurse. The Commander Telemonitoring System guides the patient through an interactive health check and collection of vital signs including: weight, blood pressure, oxygen saturation and heart rate. This information is immediately available for review by Twin Tier Home Health.
The new, two-way software interface allows demographic data to flow from the NDoc system once a patient is enrolled in telehealth. In addition, all Twin Tier field staff will now have access to daily vital sign data, symptom information and clinical notes from the telehealth nurse directly in the patient record within NDoc. Access to this daily data is important since it allows Twin Tier field staff to make better decisions based on objective telehealth information, significantly improving the time it takes to make timely interventions, such as medication adjustments.
