Pulmonary Education

Our home-based pulmonary education program provides individualized education and support to clinically stable respiratory patients and their families. Teaching includes relaxation techniques, coughing and breathing exercises, support literature, videos, discharge assessment, maintenance and physician follow-up reports. Outcomes include enhanced patient compliance with the treatment plan, reduction in hospital readmissions and emergency room visits, improved coping strategies, and improved quality of life.

Congestive Heart Failure (CHF) Program

Congestive Heart Failure interventions in the home include patient education focused on symptoms of CHF, dietary and activity counseling and review of medications. Education is geared toward reinforcing physician's instructions in the home to maximize compliance with the treatment plan. Diagnostic services are also provided to diagnose sleep breathing disorders in the CHF population. All services are provided with the intent of improved quality of life and decreased incidence of hospital and ER visits.


COPD Intervention Program

This program provides physicians with complete homecare protocols for treating each stage of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease. Patients are encouraged to understand their plan of care and become an active participant in it. Regular follow-up maximizes compliance and provides positive outcomes, which include decreased incidence of hospital and ER visits, improved functional ability, improved quality of life, and less unscheduled physician time.


Obstructive Sleep Apnea Program (Sleep Assurance)

Staying connected with our sleep therapy patients has enabled us to achieve an astounding 82% compliance(Acceptance Tolerance Response) rate compared to a
National Average of 40 to 50%!

With our Sleep Assurance Program, there?s a lifetime connection.

Here?s how it works:

• Simply refer your sleep therapy to us.
• We then coordinate with the patient to schedule a convenient
time to set up PAP therapy (CPAP, Bilevel, Autoadjusting CPAP))
equipment. Our units are compact and lightweight with advanced
features.
• Our Sleep Assurance Patient Care Coordinators will contact the
patient within the first few days of the initiation of therapy. They
have helped hundreds of patients adjust to therapy. Our Care
Coordinators ensure your patient is using their PAP therapy device
as prescribed.
• We address therapy tolerance and response issues utilizing technology
available to us: Expiratory Relief (CFlex), Bilevel PAP therapy,
humidification, as well as a large variety of masks and interfaces.
• Care Coordinators strive to keep you ?in the loop? about your
patients? tolerance and response to therapy.
• After the initial adjustment period we stay ?connected? to the
patient through routine contact addressing: Compliance with therapy,
supply replacement and will report any changes in health status
(weight gain or loss, recurrence of snoring, return of symptoms)
to you directly.
