Managing chronic conditions at home can be a challenge for many patients. If not properly controlled, patients with chronic conditions such as Chronic Heart Failure (CHF) or COPD, Diabetes, Hypertension, or Chronic Kidney Disease may make repeated trips to the emergency department or have several avoidable hospital readmissions.
By combining our skilled nursing and therapy with home monitoring and education, patients can take better control of their health and safely maintain their independence at home.
Resources for chronic care management include:

Joint Replacement

This includes home health nursing and physical therapy. If ordered by the physician, Henry Ford Home Health Care may also provide occupational therapy, home health aide services, medical social work or nutrition consultation.
Private duty services may be arranged through Henry Ford Extended Care for patients who need extended care for longer period of time on a private pay basis.

Remote Patient Monitoring
Henry Ford e-Home Care’s Remote Patient Monitoring is a personal, in-home monitoring program that combines in-home technology with home health services to help patients better manage their chronic conditions. Participation in our remote patient monitoring program may help prevent avoidable visits to the emergency department and hospitalizations while improving your quality of life.
The RPM program is not limited or exclusive for certain people, but the following are some examples of chronic conditions that we routinely monitor remotely:
- Congestive Heart Failure (CHF)
- Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease (COPD)
- Pulmonary Hypertension
- Severe Hypertension w/ Hospitalization
- Cardiovascular Surgery (CABG, Valve repair/replacement)
- Heart/Lung/Kidney Transplant
- Oncology actively treated with chemotherapy
- Atrial Fibrillation
- COVID
- Diabetes
Patients with chronic illnesses such as heart failure, chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD), diabetes or high blood pressure track their vital signs and conditions daily on easy-to-use devices. Patients are also prompted to answer questions about their health and how they are feeling. The information is then transmitted electronically to the RPM team who looks for changes in the patient’s status or results that fall outside normal limits. The RPM team will monitor results and follow up with a phone call and will contact the patient’s home health nurse or physician if needed.
How does Remote Patient Monitoring work?
Cellular devices are delivered to the patient’s home and interface with the Electronic Medical record EPIC through MyChart. Patient answers disease specific survey questions that assess how they are feeling and if they are experiencing any symptoms. Henry Ford e-Home Care’s Remote Patient Monitoring team assess any abnormal values, reviews trends, and reaches out to patient via telephone and/or video visits when necessary.
