US two companies fight for VA telemedicine 258 million US dollars contract
Recently, telemedicine technology solutions and service provider Iron Bow Technologies, in cooperation with the remote patient monitoring platform provider Vivify Health, providing a scalable family of telemedicine services for the US Department of Veterans Affairs (VA). It is reported that VA signed a $258 million telemedicine contract with the two companies to provide veterans with quality telemedicine services.
According to the arterial network, the US VA Medical System has a total of 390,000 professional health and health management personnel, and more than 1,700 affiliated with VA medical services worldwide. At present, VA Medical System has carried out more than 2,200 medical research projects, with a total investment of about 18 billion US dollars in research funding. The VA Medical System itself is also a large medical education institution, recruiting 62,000 students; 23,000 nurses and 33,000 other health management professionals.
Iron Bow's expertise in telemedicine and Vivify Health's experience in hundreds of hospitals and healthcare providers in the United States have led to an excellent collaboration between the two companies, enabling both to provide telemedicine services to VA.
At the heart of this collaboration is the direct use of medical equipment to allow patients to be remotely treated at home to improve the quality and standard of care of US veterans and to provide ongoing care for veterans. Using a home telemedicine solution, VA clinicians can continuously monitor and interact with patients, allowing veterans to take care of themselves and reduce the risk of repeat hospitalization.
“Iron Bow has been one of VA's largest solution providers for the past decade. With Iron Bow as our partner, we are confident that we can help VA provide the best continuous medical care for US veterans. "Evrick Rock, CEO and founder of Vivify Health, said.
Over the past decade, the VA Medical Services System has covered the medical and health management of 9 million veterans and their families in the United States, with telemedicine services and health management achieving impressive results.
As of the end of 2015:
Using home remote monitoring services and management, reducing hospital stays by 58%;
Reduce home hospitalizations by 32% with home remote services;
Using remote mental counseling and management reduced the hospitalization rate of mental patients by 35%;
The patient's satisfaction with telemedicine services was 89%; among them, the satisfaction with the telemedicine model: information storage and transmission consulting model was 96%; the satisfaction with remote audio and video two-way communication was 94%. There are almost no differences between the two different telemedicine and health management models.
