Automated Security Alert is excited about their new partnership with Bosch Healthcare and will now be providing the Palo Alto-based company?s Telehealth devices nationwide. The partnership is one that is rooted in mutual respect. After a year-long search for the right Telehealth partner, Automated Security Alert selected Bosch for numerous reasons, not only for their traction and manufacturing capabilities, but because their advanced technology is surprisingly easy to use. Bosch chose to partner with Automated Security due to their reputation as well as their monitoring, installation and service infrastructure.

Jason Seyler, Automated Security Alert?s Director of Life Safety commented, ?Automated Security Alert started looking for a Telehealth partner over a year ago. After meeting with eight different Telehealth manufacturers we chose Bosch mainly due to their easy to use technology, history, and flexibility. We are able to provide Telehealth services to everyone in need without long term commitments. We have made Telehealth affordable for all patients and healthcare facilities. No one is providing Telehealth services like this.?

Telehealth is a multi-faceted program, but the basic core is to monitor a patient?s vital signs digitally, and if there is a problem a nurse can contact the patient instantly and assess the situation to see what action needs to be taken. No matter the severity of a situation, this early intervention and medical monitoring can be invaluable in patient care.

Automated Security Alert, Inc., has provided freedom and security since 1988 to over 60,000 consumers through the use of technology and services that enable seniors, physically-challenged persons and recovering patients to maintain an independent lifestyle in their homes. ASA?s creative, dependable solutions include medical alert systems(personal emergency response systems); fall detection systems; and medication management systems, including electronic pill dispensers and monitored medication dispensers.

HomeTown Health & Georgia Partnership for Telehealth (GPT) hosted a dynamic meeting of eight Georgia businesses who are all partnering to implement the TeleConnect GA for Better Health(TCGBH) Program. TCGBH is a collaborative effort through the use of telemedicine and broadband adoption to improve the declining health of rural Georgians. GPT received a grant to create training and outreach program for residents and healthcare providers to improve health and healthcare delivery in the state?s 91 designated ?counties of persistent poverty.? TeleConnect Georgia for Better Health (TCGBH) is made possible by the Broadband Technology Opportunities Program and is funded by the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act of 2009. Leveraging the strengths of state government agencies, the private sector, and educational and nonprofit organizations, the project proposes targeted outreach to economically vulnerable populations including school children, low-income residents, senior citizens, and at-risk youth to address poor health and lack of high quality health care.

HomeTown Health, a network of 55 rural hospitals in Georgia, has been an integral partner with Georgia Partnership for Telehealth in the execution of this grant, as well as the integration of all partners? roles, and also evaluating each partner?s goals and objectives for the BTOP grant.

?We are so excited & honored to be partnering with Georgia Partnership for Telehealth on this far reaching initiative that will deliver better health outcomes to rural Georgians who need better access to medical care,” said Kathy Whitmire, managing director for HomeTown Health, LLC.

On July 21, 2011, HomeTown Health & GPT invited each of the eight partners involved in the BTOP grant to Georgia Public Web offices in Atlanta for an important team building meeting designed to create comprehensive understanding of each of the partners? roles within the BTOP grant overall. Partners were apprised of the new developments, new targets to achieve within the specified goals & objectives in the BTOP grant , as well as the upcoming Marketing Awareness Campaign where the mascot, Peachy, will be visiting schools to share information, fun activities and free giveaways so children can learn how broadband is used to help them stay healthy.

As the overall objective of the TeleConnect Georgia program began to unfold, all of the partners were able to understand each of their contributions to the greater BTOP grant goal of increased broadband adoption throughout Georgia. The eight strategic partners currently involved with the BTOP grant are:

Geisinger Health System, a physician-led health care system dedicated to health care, education, research and service spanning 42 counties and serving 2.6 million people, has selected the Orion Health Rhapsody Integration Engine as the health system?s new platform for migrating, managing, and streamlining message exchange between over 200 clinical and business systems. The new integration engine will enable them to better participate in Pennsylvania?s Keystone Health Information Exchange.

Gregory Miller, technical analyst at Geisinger explains, ?We needed a reliable and flexible data integration platform that supports newer technology capabilities and connectivity to our RHIO — Rhapsody is a key component in our participation — and participation in health information exchanges. Rhapsody will also support our goals to automate and connect to federal programs such as NHIN and PHIN.?

Geisinger Health System?s previous integration engine was sunsetting so they used the opportunity to review their criteria list and explore other product options. Rhapsody was selected for its ability to provide a broad set of monitoring capabilities, for its easy to use drag and drop functionality and its ability to run anywhere, including UNIX. In addition, Rhapsody provides a migration tool set to enable a seamless, step by step process away from eGate, significantly reducing migration time.

Orion Health Senior Vice President of Global Marketing Christopher Ward says, organizations faced with a sunset situation as with eGate have the opportunity to deploy a platform for the future. ?Orion Health?s focus on health care customers results in products that are remarkably straight forward and adapted to future requirements. Rhapsody?s eGate migration tool kit means an IT department can reduce the time it spends replacing technology and implement a platform to get on to the current and future business of meeting health data exchange needs.?

?Geisinger Health System is a leader in developing systems that help patients and physicians use technology to connect for better health outcomes. Orion Health is delighted to enjoy association with innovative, mission-forward organizations like Geisinger.?

Orion Health solutions use standards-based technology to integrate data within a facility and external partners without incurring costly rip and replace approaches. Currently the company helps facilities and healthcare communities that connect 35 million patients with tens of thousands of active users.
