Early Intervention

MINNEAPOLIS, July 6 /PRNewswire/ -- Focused Health Solutions, a premier
provider of employer based population health management services, announced
that it has entered into a business relationship with Cardiocom(R) to provide
advanced home telehealth technology to patients with chronic illness.
Cardiocom, the Experts in Telehealth(SM), is a world class developer,
manufacturer and clinical service provider of award-winning telehealth
solutions.

Cardiocom's telehealth system provides an interactive opportunity to
proactively manage and motivate the member towards self care. The Commander
Home Telemonitoring System guides the participant through an interactive
Health Check and collection of vital signs including: weight, blood pressure,
glucose, and heart rate. This information is immediately transmitted via a
standard phone line or cellular communication to the participant's nurse coach
at Focused Health Solutions Deerfield, IL based clinical nurse call center.
The participant's nurse coach reviews the information with the participant
during their scheduled condition management education calls throughout the
year. Focused Health Solution's tailored disease management program is
available to all members who qualify as an option to their health coverage
with their employer.

"The Cardiocom System is a key advanced home care technology tool that
proactively ensures coordinated care," says Charlene Bonvissuto, a registered
nurse and President and Chief Executive Officer at Focused Health. "We believe
that cost-effective monitoring of vital signs, symptoms and compliance with
evidence-based guidelines is a fundamental tool in the condition management
process." Cardiocom's unique system is also expected to enhance participant
engagement, increase quality of life, and improve outcomes.
