What is your agency doing to prevent rehospitalization for your patients?

We are currently using telehealth equipment to reduce our hospitalizations.

What telehealth equipment are you using? What diagnoses do you find it to be most beneficial?

We use Honeywell HomMed telemonitors. We have reduced out hospitalization rate from 30 % to 25%. We also did education with our evening on-call nurses to be sure they would make a visit and assess the clients rather than just say "Call your MD" or "go to the ER". (unless of course it was a true emergency)
