Authentidate Holding Corp. (Nasdaq: ADAT), a provider of secure web-based software applications and telehealth products and services for healthcare organizations, today announced that Meadville Medical Center has selected Authentidate's Electronic House Call™ (EHC) remote vital signs monitoring solution to monitor patients with Congestive Heart Failure (CHF) and other chronic diseases.  Meadville Medical Center is using the EHC solution as part of a chronic disease management program that is the result of a collaboration with Highmark Blue Cross and Blue Shield.

"Meadville Medical Center is using the remote vital signs monitoring program to improve chronic condition outcomes and ongoing care for our patients after discharge from the hospital. As part of our Community Care Network model, the Electronic House Call solution will allow our clinicians to remotely monitor our patients' conditions and continue to coordinate their care after they leave the hospital. Electronic House Call is designed for this type of program and includes the intuitive technology and rich feature-set that we were seeking to support our continuous care objectives, our patients and our own clinicians," commented Dr. Barry Bittman, Chief Innovation Officer of Meadville Medical Center.

The EHC remote patient monitoring solution allows patients to return home, while providing for frequent updates of patient data to healthcare providers without a face-to-face visit. Medical teams use EHC remote patient monitoring to oversee the progress of their patients, reducing costs and allowing for improved patient care. EHC is used for patients who require ongoing management of their chronic diseases such as Chronic Heart Failure (CHF), Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease (COPD), Diabetes, Hypertension and Sleep Apnea. The easy-to-use EHC touch screen device delivers better continuity of care to specific patient segments that require regular monitoring of medical conditions. Automated reminders increase patients' compliance with care plans, diets, medication schedules and follow-up physician visits. While improving medical condition monitoring, EHC can also provide patients with disease management education. Healthcare providers can view each patient's vital statistics and make adjustments to care plans on the secure web application, which is then communicated to the patient via the EHC device.

"We are delighted to support Meadville Medical Center with our EHC solution," said Marcus Wagstaff, Sales Director at Authentidate. "EHC enables a higher level of patient care, which supports both the hospital's and the healthcare insurer's goals for improved outcomes and reduced readmissions."
