Patients receive high quality, cost-effective care and education through CarePartners post-acute services.
Patients are treated by an experienced interdisciplinary team specifically trained in cardiac and pulmonary related conditions. Care focuses on assessment and education, strength and endurance therapy, and energy conservation. Our goal is to reduce acute-care hospitalizations for our patients and  improve their quality of life.
The Cardio/Pulmonary Program has standardized assessment, care and the referral process throughout our continuum. We have identified “Best Practices” to ensure continuity from hospital care to our services. Education is key for staff and patients. We work closely with hospital staff and physicians to make sure we are consistently teaching the same information.
The Cardio/Pulmonary Program also offers access to the HomMed Health Monitoring System. Measurements for weight, blood pressure, heart rate, oxygen saturation, and temperature are taken by the device in the comfort and privacy of the patient's home. The HomMed device asks the patient customized yes or no questions to assist in further evaluation of the patient's condition and quality-of-life measurement. Patients take an active role in their own health management.
Patients are monitored seven days a week and our clinicians react quickly to actual or potential problems. We keep physicians informed of their patients' conditions. This monitoring system is offered through our home health service and is available to our patients in Buncombe, Madison, Haywood, Yancey, and Henderson Counties.
