Sanford Health Fargo (N.D.) is launching Sanford Caresignal, a remote monitoring program that allows patients to self-report symptoms via call or text.
When an eligible patient is enrolled in the free program, they will receive automated check-in calls or texts. If a patient reports that their symptoms are not improving, a Sanford clinician will follow up with them, according to an Aug. 9 Sanford news release.
The program is designed to reduce avoidable hospital readmissions.
Caresignal monitors:
- Chronic obstructive pulmonary disease
- Depression
- Type 2 Diabetes
- Heart failure
- Recovery after discharge from the hospital or emergency department
