“The [Hallmark Health VNA and Hospice] agency recently completed a year-long study on the effectiveness of telemonitoring in reducing re-hospitalizations of patients. It found that patients using the home telemonitoring system had an 18 percent re-hospitalization rate as compared with the general population, which has a 36 percent hospitalization rate.”
