FirstLight Home Care Partners with HNC Virtual Solutions

FirstLight Home Care, a leading national provider of non-medical home care, is announcing a new partnership with HNC Virtual Solutions, a global telemedicine software company, to offer new telehealth solutions that will enhance patient care.

"This partnership opens up new avenues of care that will allow us to add to our already excellent caregiving services," said Jeff Bevis, co-founder and CEO of FirstLight Home Care. "Our partnership with HNC is going to allow us to connect patients to clinicians using Remote Patient Monitoring, which studies have shown can lead to enhanced quality of life, fewer hospital visits and more involvement from family members. This ties in with our efforts over the past few years to introduce more technology into our day-to-day caregiving business."   The agreement between FirstLight Home Care and HNC Virtual Solutions will allow FirstLight to begin offering HNC Virtual Solutions' Remote Patient Monitoring at FirstLight Home Care locations across the country. By connecting patients to clinicians using Remote Patient Monitoring, FirstLight Home Care clients are more likely to experience positive outcomes, such as:

• Decreased hospital readmissions
• Reduced healthcare costs
• Increased patient/provider satisfaction
• Improved medication compliance  
• More independent living
• Increased family engagement

"Our Remote Patient Monitoring is a tested system with proven results, and it will help FirstLight continue to administer excellent home care through enhanced technological offerings," said Julian Shaya, HNC Virtual Solutions executive vice president. "Those receiving care, as well as their families, will have access to new healthcare options designed to help people live longer, more fulfilling lives." Remote Patient Monitoring will introduce a more-connected experience between patients and other care providers by using technology to bridge the gaps in care among FirstLight's clients.

"Whether it's telemedicine, telehealth, video conferencing, mobile apps or sensors, we are all going to be in a connected health environment," Dr. Stephen Shaya, chief medical officer of J & B Medical, HNC Virtual Solutions' parent company, said. "Working with FirstLight, we will be able to provide improved consumer centric solutions which leverage technology and innovation and enhance the daily lives of our loved ones. As Mother Teresa said, "We can do no great things, only small things with great love."
