MedicalVersusHealth Homesfor Patients

Physicians argue that such clinics lack capabilities in diagnosing many serious medical conditions. [...]they are typically used only on an episodic, rather than continuous basis, so they know about and have records on only a portion of the care that their patients are using and the conditions that prompted such use. [...]many of the risk and disease conditions involved can be tested and monitored at home and reported by patients or through remote monitoring devices, which are typically reviewed by NPs in payer-sponsored programs.
