title: Post-surgical cardiac patients receive new level of care.
abstract: VNA Home Health Systems in Orange County, California provides intermittent home care for homebound and critically ill patients. The VNA administration recognized the advantages of clinicians using a pocket-sized cardiac monitor. Eager to continually adopt technologies that improve their level of care, the pocket-sized cardiac monitor was a logical addition to VNA's PDA-based clinical tools.
