Imagine knowing the current status of all your patients with chronic conditions…
• Did the patients with congestive heart failure take their cardiac medications?
• Did the patients with diabetes check their blood sugar?
• Are any patients experiencing an early warning symptoms?
• Do the patients with wounds know how to change their bandages?
• Do all the patients have enough food to eat?
• Do all the patients have all of their prescription medications?
• Do all the patients have transportation to their next appointment?
