Our Home Telehealth services give us the ability to monitor and measure our patient health data and information over geographical, social, and cultural distances. This monitoring includes the use of both video and non-video technologies.

The application of these technologies allows for increased access to health services, improved disease management, improved self-care management with earlier and proactive interventions for positive outcomes.

FAMCare CONNECT’s skilled nurses provide medication management. These Registered and Licensed Nurses conduct evaluations of the patient, develop a care plan that includes a choice of medication, and offer the patient a clear explanation of any diagnosis and recommended treatment.

When relatives and kin are not available, FAMCare CONNECT recruits community members to become foster families.

Health care providers work hard to provide quality care, but it can be a challenge to juggle and coordinate information. FAMCare CONNECT works to ensure that health care providers have the resources and information they need to coordinate care. Our goal of coordinated care is to make sure that patients, especially the chronically ill, get the right care at the right time, while avoiding unnecessary duplication of services and preventing medical errors. There is tremendous benefit when doctors, health care providers, and hospitals coordinate your care through a care coordination team, because they work together to give you the right care at the right time and in the right setting.
