Kentucky TouchPointCare provides an inexpensive and simple-to-use system for data collection, trending, and reporting. It enables providers to improve their quality of services while reducing costs. Kentucky TouchPointCare's uses TPC's low-tech subscription-based capability and gives providers a low-cost telehealth solution which avoids the high costs of traditional monitoring equipment. It allows easy entry for providers to add it to their suite of health care services. With no capital investment for providers, TouchPointCare's technology makes it possible to offer remote monitoring for patients. All the client needs is access to a telephone.

TPC's technology is invisible to participants, They simply answer a few select questions, report their symptoms, measurements, or compliance to their prescribed program. The technology allows three ways to communicate: over the phone speaking to a live person who records their responses, over the phone through Interactive Voice Recognition (IVR) or through the internet. If any response exceeds predetermined thresholds, specific protocols are initiated, such as immediate notification of the provider/caregiver or instructions for the patients to call their physician.

With no expensive monitoring equipment necessary and no capital investment required by the provider, Kentucky TouchPointCare makes it possible for every provider to make use of telehealth for selected patients. Kentucky TouchPointCare uses technology to lower costs while enabling the close monitoring of patients while allowing them to remain independently at home with assurance of quality care.
