Remote Patient Monitoring in Westchester County
Reducing Hospital Readmission Rates in Westchester County
Amelia Home Care addresses avoidable readmissions by blending live 24/7 Professional Remote Care Coordination (RCC) with the latest intuitive remote patient monitoring.
Our team provides timely interventions, bridges external care services, and addresses patient psychosocial needs. RCCs collect and share patient data with the healthcare team, a key pillar in preventing avoidable readmissions.
With thousands of patients, Amelia Home Care is seeing a reduction in readmission rates of 91 to 95 percent.
Remote Care Coordination in Westchester County
Our Remote Care Coordinators (RCCs) provide face-to-face, video chat interactions with your patients to monitor and assist in adherence and reducing readmissions while improving clinical patient outcomes.
With the ability to visually record patient vitals, assess patient needs for medication refills, food, transportation to medical appointments, and social interactions, our coordinators develop personalized patient care with established protocols.
Available 24/7, RCCs cover the extended hours and weekends when staffing from Home Health is typically limited. Amelia Home Care patients thrive with more attention and interaction, and their satisfaction scores prove it!
Care Pathways for Westchester County Clients
Amelia Home Care has over 95 Care Pathways currently available to our clients including combination pathways for patients with multiple co-morbidities.
These pathways include branch logic and RCC protocol for follow-up questions. Our RCCs are trained to identify and report issues with post-acute and post-surgical patients, including the identification of SIRS criteria, which may lead to sepsis.
In addition to pathways questions, vital signs, and video conferencing, we have educational videos, teach-back questions, reminders, and the ability to assist patients in obtaining appointments, video-conferencing with family members, and other members of the care team.
Psychosocial Needs and Socialization for Westchester County Residents
Often, many of our patients are seniors between 70 to 95 years old, and many are lonely and isolated. The RCC’s responsibility is to engage in casual conversations, beyond the illness and discuss life, and joyful matters.
For patients who require more attention, often receive multiple video calls per day and are assigned to volunteers to check in with the patients.
The results are astonishing, leading to reduction of readmissions, happier patient satisfaction, and increased RPM utilization rate.
Amelia Home Care Health Platform
Based on the patient’s capability and comfort level utilizing their preferred communication device, Amelia Home Care provides a variety of platforms to ensure as many patients are enrolled in the program as possible.
For patients accustomed to utilizing their own personal smartphone or tablet (Apple or Android), an easy-to-download application is provided.
A telehealth kit, which consists of a tablet with built-in internet and wireless medical devices and is intuitive to operate, can be delivered to the patient’s home.
If both are not viable options, their assigned RCC can render phone calls to retrieve ongoing data collection so no patient is left out of the program.
Authorized physicians, nurses, nursing staff, and Home Health agencies will have access to patient data and telehealth communication with the patient based on their security access privileges.
Oftentimes, physicians and nurses find it more convenient to work with the assigned RCC.
Based on schedule or ad hoc calls, the RCC can engage the physician on a group video conference with the patient by sending a link to the physician’s email or phone.
Upon clicking the link, the physician will be able to join the secured video conference call with the patient.

About Westchester County
Westchester County is located in the U.S. state of New York. It is the seventh most populated county in New York and the most populated north of New York City.[5] According to the 2010 U.S. census, the county had a population of 949,113, estimated to have increased to 967,506 by 2019.[1] Situated in the Hudson Valley, Westchester covers an area of 450 square miles (1,200 km2), consisting of six cities, 19 towns, and 23 villages. Established in 1683, Westchester was named after the city of Chester, England.[6][7] The county seat is the city of White Plains, while the most populous municipality in the county is the city of Yonkers, with an estimated 199,663 residents in 2018.
The annual per capita income for Westchester was $67,813 in 2011. The 2011 median household income of $77,006 was the fifth highest in New York (after Nassau, Putnam, Suffolk, and Rockland counties) and the 47th highest in the United States.[8] By 2014, the county’s median household income had risen to $83,422.[9] Westchester County ranks second in the state after New York County for median income per person, with a higher concentration of incomes in smaller households. Simultaneously, Westchester County had the highest property taxes of any county in the United States in 2013.[10]
Westchester County is one of the centrally located counties within the New York metropolitan area. The county is positioned with New York City, plus Nassau and Suffolk counties (on Long Island, across Long Island Sound), to its south; Putnam County to its north; Fairfield County, Connecticut to its east; and Rockland County and Bergen County, New Jersey across the Hudson River to the west. Westchester was the first suburban area of its scale in the world to develop, due mostly to the upper-middle-class development of entire communities in the late 19th century and the subsequent rapid population growth.[11] Because of Westchester’s numerous road and mass transit connections to New York City, as well as its shared border with the Bronx, the 20th and 21st centuries have seen much of the county, particularly the southern portion, become nearly as densely developed as New York City itself.[citation needed]
The Timothy Knapp House, built around 1670, is the oldest standing building in Westchester.[36](p9) Philipse Manor Hall and the Old Dutch Church of Sleepy Hollow are also among the oldest, built around 1682 and 1685 respectively. Philipse Manor Hall is located in Getty Square, Yonkers, and is operated by the New York State Office of Parks, Recreation and Historic Preservation.
The former Edwin H. Armstrong House is the only delisted National Historic Landmark in Westchester. Current National Historic Landmarks in the county are:[37]
- The Aaron Copland House
- The Armour-Stiner House
- The Boston Post Road Historic District
- The Elephant Hotel
- The John Hartford House
- The John Jay Homestead
- The John William Draper House
