The medical command center provides 24/7 telemedical monitoring and access to your care team.  Equipment temporarily installed in your home to monitor your vital signs, such as temperature, pulse, blood pressure, oxygen levels, and weight. This information is sent automatically to the medical command center and is available to any member of your care team.  Communication devices such as a tablet computer for video visits, a “pick up the handset” phone with direct connection to the medical command center, and a wearable personal emergency response system (PERS) call button to allow you to contact the medical command center 24 hours a day, 7 days a week if you are unable to get to a phone. This includes communication technology to support reliable communication, backup power supply, and backup internet.  Equipment necessary to ensure that you are monitored appropriately in your home: blood pressure cuff/monitor, pulse oximeter, scale, and thermometer.  Laboratory tests, mobile imaging (X-rays, ultrasounds), and EKGs.  Safety items when Medically Necessary, such as shower stools, raised toilet seats, grabbers, long handled shoehorns, and sock aids.  Meals when Medically Necessary while you are receiving care in the home.
