February 17, 2007, Sigma Health Care, Inc. is excited to announce the implementation of its new web based patient portal that gives patients a choice to use their own home computer to be able to enter and retrieve some of their own health information. Among several unique features, patients will be able to look up a history of their vital signs such as blood pressure, pulse, temperature, oxygen level, weight, as well as blood sugar readings and other lab testing. They will also be able to see their own medication list and their own visit schedule assigned to Sigma home health staff.

In between scheduled home visits, the system will provide an interactive tool to patients and their caregivers to allow daily assessment of patient condition. Information is provided as answers to questions similar to those asked by the clinicians when visiting the home. On the other hand, patient can receive directions on what to do next according to the reported condition. Information that represents a decline in patient health is immediately send a Sigma Health Care, Inc. clinician for analysis and possible intervention or communication with the patients physician to stop any adverse event that may occur.
