PRESS RELEASE

Visiting Angels – Minnesota Completes Successful Pilot with TouchPointCare for Caregiver Documentation and Telehealth August 1, 2008 Contact: Jim Mayhall 866-713-6590 [email protected]

Libertyville, IL (August 1, 2008) TouchPointCare, a leading provider of telehealth Phone Monitoring systems for the home care industry, announced today the completion of a successful 6 month pilot with Visiting Angels – Minnesota in Saint Louis Park, MN. Based on the success of the pilot, Visiting Angels- Minnesota will continue to implement the TouchPointCare system to manage all caregiver documentation.

Visiting Angel’s experienced, caring and compassionate caregivers help with a variety of non-medical services designed to:

• Improve the Quality of Life for your loved one. • Deliver Peace of Mind to family members. • Provide Personal Service. • Listen—to Care Recipients, Family, Caregivers, and other persons involved in providing care.

TouchPointCare software is used to contact patients on a regular basis and record their responses. Family Home Health can determine the questions to be asked of each patient and can schedule the calls at various frequencies, all based upon the patient’s needs.

According to Ron Hagberg, Visiting Angels- MN’s owner, the TouchPointCare system was chosen because of the system’s ability to simplify and enhance caregiver documentation, but also because it offers significant marketing value for increasing referrals.

TouchPointCare is leading the telehealth revolution with a unique phone monitoring system that enables a “data driven” approach to home care. Their low cost, data collection system is based upon caregivers calling into an interactive voice recognition system via a dedicated toll free number to capture client data. The Internet based system is extremely flexible and highly customizable for a wide range of phone monitoring and data collection uses. Accessible via any standard web browser and offered as a monthly subscription service, TouchPointCare is making telehealth available for everyone.
