Chronic Disease & Telemonitoring
A focus on high-cost diseases that significantly impacts quality of life
While the health challenges of any individual patient are unique, the prevalence of some diseases requires a coordinated, system-wide approach to care management. Diseases targeted include congestive heart failure (CHF), chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD), diabetes, and hypertension.
Patients are identified through certain criteria as well as recommendations made by Primary Care Physicians and/or specialists to collaborate with the Chronic Disease Nurse for at least 90 days to 6 months.
Telemonitoring - Helping you live a healthier life, in your own home
Our Telemonitoring Program provides daily remote nursing management of vital signs (blood pressure, blood sugar, pulse, weight) that helps people stay on track and identify early warning signs of a worsening condition. The program is a fast and simple way for Partnership for Community Care to see how you are doing, and provide immediate support in managing your health. With this new initiative in place we hope to decrease patients' visits to hospitals and emergency departments.
Our team of clinical professionals work together to provide care that meets the unique needs of every patient.
- Measures vital signs and weight from home daily
- Provides nursing management that helps participants stay on track
- Identifies early warning signs of a worsening condition

Through improvement of access, maintaining quality, and reducing costs of medical care in Guilford, Rockingham, and Randolph Counties, our patients will be able to better manage their chronic disease(s).
