Telehealth Solutions

Healthcare providers and patients face an intense combination of challenges.  Successful disease management focuses on patient education, while providers must reduce the cost of providing quality care for an increasing patient population with complex, chronic problems.

The McKesson Telehealth Advisor™  solution provides the tools you need to manage your patients’ care successfully in the home.

Improves Patient Communication and Self-management

With the proper patient education, care providers can improve their patients’ behaviors and help them become active participants in their own care, leading to overall improvement in health and outcomes. This telehealth solution provides two-way communication of physiological, education and compliance information between patients and providers. When patients answer disease-specific questions and send detailed information about their health and well-being to the provider, the patient’s record is updated daily, giving the care team unprecedented access to information and a clear understanding of the patient’s health and risks on a daily basis. As a result, providers can address changes in the patient’s health status and tailor care to the patient’s needs as they occur, reducing costly visits to the emergency department.

Delivers Quality Care at a Lower Cost

McKesson Telehealth Advisor allows providers to deliver quality care at a lower cost, which is critical in the pay for performance environment. This solution reduces costly emergency room visits and hospitalization, and addresses the problem before it becomes acute. It also improves medication compliance through patient education, motivation and daily monitoring. This telehealth solution helps providers meet today’s healthcare challenges by helping optimize clinical resources, manage costs effectively, ensure quality outcomes and increase patient satisfaction.
