Many systems come with attractive hardware features that you may never need or use. Avoid expensive, unnecessary peripherals. Also, use caution when making decisions about equipment based on features that aren't currently available. In this new industry, vendors can't always accurately predict the timing of availability of future advances. Consider how each tool will work with the current system.
Some vendors offer extensive software packages for nursing care documentation.
Finally, consider the equipment's ease of operation for patients, caregivers, and home care staff. Review the educational level and visual acuity of your patient group. Large control buttons and minimal operating steps are critical for operation by the average patient or caregiver. Confusion and inability to use the equipment can increase the need for frequent home visits to troubleshoot problems, negating telemedicine's gains. Formulate a business plan.
