Adopting Remote Patient Monitoring in Practice

Are you a physician looking to implement Remote Patient Monitoring?

ForaCare, Inc. is committed to making technology an asset, not a burden, and continues to invest in products and services that provide physicians with a proven path for integrating telemedicine and digital health technologies into patient care.

Remote patient-monitoring utilizes tools such as home blood glucose meters and blood pressure monitors, Bluetooth-enabled digital scales and other devices that can communicate biometric data for review which may also involve the use of mHealth apps.

With FORA’s 24/7 HealthView remote patient monitoring tool, physicians can apply patient-generated health data to improve the management of chronic disease, while engaging patients in their own care.

To learn more about how to integrate RPM, we invite you to review the AMA’s Digital Health Implementation Playbook which offers a 12-step process for adopting RPM using devices to capture and record patient-generated health data outside the traditional clinical environment.

Thanksgiving Food Breakdown for Diabetics

With Thanksgiving just around the corner, it’s an excuse to feast on a lot of good food. However, for those of us watching our blood sugar, what foods should we be looking out for?

Dessert and high sugar foods are obviously to be limited (if not avoided), but there are other Thanksgiving dinner staples that will cause blood glucose to rise. Savory foods high in carbohydrates, such as bread, grains, corn, and potatoes, are less obvious causes of blood sugar levels spiking after a meal.

Check the following articles for list of common Thanksgiving foods, and the amount of carbohydrates per serving for a better idea of what foods to really avoid (pecan pie), and maybe some slightly better alternatives (apple pie). We hope you enjoy the holidays while staying mindful of your health!

ForaCare, Inc. and PointClickCare are announcing an integration of FORA medical devices and the PointClickCare platform. Vital signs and weight measurements are now delivered instantly and accurately from FORA devices to medical profiles in the PointClickCare Electronic Health Record (EHR) platform via wireless technology. This expedites access to accurate clinical information, which helps initiate care plan interventions that reduce hospital readmissions.

MOORPARK, Calif. – ForaCare, Inc., the leading provider of medical device integration systems for the long-term and post-acute care (LTPAC) industry, announced the integration of iFORA CS app and PointClickCare, the market leader of cloud-based software platform for senior care.
