The Veterans Administration
From Capsil Wiki
The Veterans Administration (VA) appears to have taken the lead in providing home telehealth service for their clients (army veterans). Examples of up-and-running services include those under the Care Coordination Home Telehealth (CCHT) programme [1]. This is probably the most developed example of mainstreaming of home telehealth in the US. It combines care coordination and the use of technology to serve a variety of veteran populations that are high risk and high resource use, and thus represent high cost to the services. To facilitate early home placement, interactive systems being deployed include videophones, telemonitoring devices, in-home messaging devices, a PC Web-based interactive system, specialized instamatic cameras for wound care follow-up, and the telephone. Currently there are over 3,764 patients enrolled in the programs and over 7,000 patients have been treated in total.
