Posted on: Wednesday, 8 June 2005, 09:00 CDT
Health Hero Network, Inc. today is demonstrating its new Health Buddy(R) system on Capitol Hill to show health policy leaders how technologies can improve chronic care by coaching and monitoring patients at home. As one of the few companies invited to participate in the Tech Demonstration Day, Health Hero Network will show how the Health Buddy(R) system is playing a leading role at the Veterans Administration (VA) in improving quality of care and reducing costs for the VA's highest risk patients with severe chronic illness. The Health Buddy system will also be included in upcoming landmark Medicare demonstration programs.
The seminar and all-day technology demonstration is hosted by the eHealth Initiative and the Capitol Hill "Steering Committee on Telehealth and Health care Informatics." The event is attended by Congressional leaders and government decision makers who are committed to improving the quality of health care.
"Coaching and monitoring patients at home is a key element of transforming and improving chronic care," said Steve Brown, Health Hero Network's CEO. "The attendees of today's event will have the opportunity to see first hand how information technology can enable chronic care improvement by connecting people at home with chronic illness to proactive and preventive health care services.
The eHealth Initiative is a non-profit affiliated organization whose mission is to drive improvement in the quality, safety, and efficiency of health care through information and information technology. The Capitol Hill "Steering Committee on Telehealth and Health Care Informatics" is now in its 12th year.
