Primary Wound Care Specialists Selects ExpressMD™ Solutions Electronic House Call™ for Pilot Wound Care Program

BERKELEY HEIGHTS, N.J., July 20 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- Primary Wound Care Specialists, LLC a leading provider of Wound Care prevention and therapeutic services, has selected the ExpressMD Solutions™ Electronic House Call™ (EHC) remote patient monitoring solution as part of an expanded pilot program for wound care management.

"The Primary Wound Care Specialist Program is delivered through a network of 16 clinics in Florida and includes an extensive program for in-home patient management. The contribution of the ExpressMD EHC solution will give our clinical team a new and exciting method of providing the necessary information to the various healthcare providers who collaborate on our patient care progress.  EHC will also allow us to more effectively track and characterize the day-to-day progress made by a patient between doctor visits," commented Andy Castellanos, President of Primary Wound Care Specialists, LLC.

The ExpressMD EHC remote patient monitoring solution enables homecare providers to monitor patients remotely.  Remote monitoring allows for fewer in-person doctor visits or emergency room visits, while providing more frequent updates of patient data to healthcare providers, which reduces costs and allows for improved patient care. Homecare providers can use remote patient monitoring to  oversee patients who require wound care management or for those who have chronic diseases such as Chronic Heart Failure (CHF), Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease (COPD), Diabetes, Hypertension and Sleep Apnea.

The ExpressMD EHC innovative remote patient monitoring solution improves patient care and reduces costs by delivering results to healthcare providers securely via the Web without requiring an in-person physician or hospital visit. The easy-to-use in-home EHC touch screen device delivers better continuity of care to specific patient segments that require regular monitoring of medical conditions. Automated reminders increase patients' compliance with care plans, diets, medication schedules and follow-up physician visits. While improving medical condition monitoring, EHC can also provide patients with online wound care or disease management education. Healthcare providers can view each patient's vital statistics and make adjustments to care plans online, which is then communicated to the patient via the EHC device.

"We are pleased to have the opportunity to work with Primary Wound Care Specialists to enhance their existing program with the EHC solution," stated Ronald Mills, Managing Director of ExpressMD Solutions. "Their commitment to improved patient care and education is important to the success of this innovative program."
