Connect America, a nationally recognized leader in comprehensive telehealth and remote monitoring solutions, announced its partnership recently with Idaho Health Data Exchange (IHDE). The integration between Connect America’s Remote Patient Monitoring (RPM) platform and IHDE will help increase remote access to essential health care services while improving safety and health outcomes for people statewide.
Rural states such as Idaho can greatly benefit from Connect America’s products and technologies because they offer people safer, more accessible options for preventive, routine, and chronic care. Furthermore, these services will help to reduce the burdens on Idaho’s rural and critical access hospitals and health care provider organizations, improving outcomes for the vulnerable populations they serve. The comprehensive platform provided by Connect America, including personal emergency response systems, remote monitoring solutions, and medication management tools, will help IHDE and their participants improve outcomes, reduce utilization costs, support disease management, reduce hospitalizations and readmission rates, promote member education, and encourage self-management.
Idaho Health Data Exchange is a non-profit 501(c)(3) organization. It is Idaho’s statewide Health Information Exchange, dedicated to meeting the needs of health care provider organizations and ensuring that Idaho’s citizens receive the most effective health services possible.
Headquartered in Bala Cynwyd, Pennsylvania with field offices nationwide, Connect America offers a growing portfolio of health monitoring solutions designed for population health management in today’s value-based health care ecosystem. Connect America has been helping people, provider organizations, and payers including Medicare Advantage, ACO’s, MCOs, IDNs, hospitals, and FQHCs better manage delivery of care for vulnerable populations across the nation.
