(HealthNewsDigest.com) - SPRINGFIELD, Missouri—January 18, 2012—With pressure on hospitals to reduce patient length of stay and readmissions, and employers nationwide creating wellness programs to maintain healthier workforces, telehealth solutions are becoming the go-to resource for health monitoring and disease management. Advanced TeleHealth Solutions today announced the launch of their telehealth services to match the needs of businesses and organizations to offer monitoring and management services for overall better control of healthcare and costs.

As a veteran in the telehealth industry via her responsibility as president of a home health business, Karen Thomas saw the significant value both financially and in quality of care from the use of telehealth. “Thousands of patients and clients have benefitted from better patient outcomes, cost savings from technology, reduced readmissions and more efficient operations with our telehealth services. For example, we monitored patients with chronic illnesses over an extended period of time and with our services saw a 73% reduction in the number of days in the hospital and a 54% reduction in overall costs of care. Introducing Advanced TeleHealth Solutions ensures our clients will continue to benefit from improved health management during a time when every dollar counts,” said Karen Thomas, President of Advanced TeleHealth Solutions.

Advanced TeleHealth Solutions is specifically designed to work with insurance companies, large businesses with wellness programs, self-insured enterprises, hospitals, disease management organizations and home health companies nationally to help care for individuals with conditions such as congestive heart failure (CHF), coronary artery disease (CAD) chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD), hypertension and diabetes, among others. The company's unique approach to telehealth includes matching, monitoring and managing the entire telehealth process from technology selection to care implementation.

Results from an Advanced TeleHealth Solutions telemonitoring analysis show that hospitalizations and ER visits were reduced, and noted impressive improvement of 59% or better across multiple diseases studied.

“It’s important to engage patients, clients and employees in the digital age with the best, most efficient care available—and Advanced TeleHealth Solutions provides a gateway to the future in healthcare by providing the appropriate telehealth relationship without the cost of creating a new internal system, adding resources, or having start-up time involved,” continued Thomas.
