FORA Mobile Care Station Provides Best Cost Advantage for Long-Term Care Facilities

 

 

The FORA® Mobile Care Station’s features include:

  • The Latest Innovative Technology

The Mobile Care Station includes up to 5 devices that measure blood glucose, blood pressure, pulse oxygen, temperature, and weight. The long-term care facility has the option to choose only the vital signs they need to help control costs.

  • Data Integrity

Prior to taking a patient’s measurements, the staff is able to confirm the patient’s identity through their patient profile picture on the iFORA CS (PCC) app. Plus, the nurse can verify the data before uploading results to the electronic health record.

  • A Reduction in Errors

Since measurements automatically populate from the meter to the iFORA CS (PCC) app, staff no longer needs to spend time transferring that information and none of that data will accidentally be written down incorrectly. This leads to a cut in costs as well.

  • HIPAA Compliant

The Mobile Care Station meets or exceeds all HIPAA requirements because of its complex encryption and authentication measures, which can potentially reduce overall HIPAA violation exposure.

The FORA Mobile Care Station Brings Efficiency to Nursing Facilities

The FORA® Mobile Care Station, recently developed by ForaCare, Inc., is an efficient and convenient solution for nursing facility staff to easily measure vitals and consistently monitor their residents who have chronic diseases such as diabetes, hypertension, congestive heart failure and COPD.

Five individual devices—used to measure blood glucose, blood pressure, temperature, weight and pulse oxygen—are arranged on one roller cart for portability and ease of access. Each device included with the mobile care station meets or exceeds all HIPAA requirements because of complex encryption and authentication, lowering potential violation exposures.

One of the unique devices included is the FORA 2-in-1 D40 Pro, which monitors both blood glucose and blood pressure. It has built-in Irregular Rapid Beat (IRB) technology, detecting potential risks before a problem arises.

This D40 Pro in particular reduces costs by eliminating the need for two separate devices. Additionally, the mobile care station reduces personnel costs by eliminating the need to manually enter measurements into the system.

Vital sign measurements are wirelessly transmitted to the iFORA CS (PCC) app, located on the tablet attached to the mobile care station, and then integrated into the PointClickCare® Electronic Health Record system.The automatic data transmission reduces the possibility of human error.

Health care professionals can log in to the EHR system with their credentials at any time to review the data and modify patients’ treatment plans accordingly. This aligns with the single, unwavering goal of ForaCare technologies, which is to lead to better health outcomes.
