Telemonitoring with SaniQ HERZ is therefore simple and easy to implement. It even relieves your practice operations because you can Reduce unplanned visits to the practice.

Once you have identified suitable candidates for telemonitoring, obtain their consent to participate and create a patient profile in SaniQ. This only takes a few minutes.

Telemonitoring for heart failure is No emergency response system, which requires immediate intervention in medical emergencies. It is used for medical monitoring of central vital signs and for adjusting therapy in the event of a significant deterioration in the values.

If a patient's values deteriorate or exceed or fall below the set standard range, you will receive a warning message via SaniQ. You should check such a message for a possible need for action on the following working day at the latest (the following day in the case of intensified monitoring). 

According to the G-BA decision, you are generally obliged to check warning messages for a possible need for action on the following working day at the latest. This means that medical practices that do not charge the surcharge for intensified monitoring at weekends and on public holidays (GOP 13587) are not obliged to review alerts at weekends and on public holidays.  

It is best to communicate longer absences (e.g. in the event of vacation or illness) transparently to your involved patients by email. In addition, many practices ask patients to sign a disclaimer.
