What information can TotalCare monitor?
TotalCare can support patient-entered health measurements such as blood pressure, glucose, weight, pulse, oxygen saturation, and other information configured for the care program.
Can TotalCare send patient reminders?
Yes. TotalCare can remind patients to enter requested information or complete relevant care activities.
Can providers review patient trends?
Yes. TotalCare is designed to allow providers to review longitudinal patient information rather than relying solely on individual office measurements.
