Florida Association of ACOs Welcomes Personal Health Monitoring as Member

 Florida Association of ACOs (FLAACOs), a ValueH organization and one of the leading voices for value-based care, announces Personal Health Monitoring (PHM), a healthcare services company that supports ACOs and other providers as they transition to home-centered care, as its newest member.

PHM provides innovative services and technologies to support FLAACOs goal of improving in-home care.

“As healthcare continues to move into the home, we need to provide remote patient monitoring as well as integrated healthcare services ranging from online access to specialist to nursing aid at home,” said PHM President Waqas Ahmed, MD.

PHM’s technology and services allow for remote monitoring of vital signs, exercise, medicine adherence, and sleep quality with the access to online specialist as well as home based nursing services.

“Membership with FLAACOs will allow PHM to connect directly with providers focused on delivering quality care to patients when they leave the hospital and return home,” said Nicole Bradberry, FLAACOs CEO. “This is especially important for healthcare providers in Florida, who serve the largest population of senior adults in the nation, many of whom are managing multiple chronic conditions and prefer to age in place.”
