Further Your Efficiency with Web-Based Patient Monitoring
Web-based patient monitoring systems allow the Home Health Agency to input clinical data and patient outcome information in real-time for the prescribing physician to see. QAS Inc.'s Protime Patient Monitoring® web-based system (PPM) provides capabilities never seen before. Nurses can use the ProTime monitor, obtain the INR value in less than 2-minutes, counsel, tirtrate, record and send the information all in one visit. Technology advancements including the ProTime monitor and the web-based monitoring system PPM® deliver the efficiency and outcomes the
Prospective Payment System demands.
