BlueStar TeleHealth to Support VA In-Home Telehealth

WASHINGTON, DC, UNITED STATES, March 7, 2024 – BlueStar TeleHealth is proud to be a critical member of the Valor Healthcare Team, who was one of four prime contractor awardees on the Veterans Affairs’ (VA) eight-year, $1.032 billion contract to provide Remote Patient Monitoring (RPM) and Home Telehealth (HT) services for veterans. VA’s Office of Connected Care will deploy the systems and tools needed to monitor veterans’ chronic health conditions while they are at home. The contract award represents the largest Remote Patient Monitoring effort in the federal government.

The VA’s RPM-HT services are especially important now, given the increased demand for remote healthcare services both during and after the COVID-19 pandemic, and are a key part of VA’s healthcare delivery modernization effort. The RPM-HT technologies provided to Valor Healthcare by BlueStar TeleHealth, and the other companies awarded this contract enable veterans to better self-manage their chronic conditions and alert caregivers or other medical personnel to needs for active care and case management, including referral to a clinic or hospital for in-person care.

BlueStar’s CEO, retired Admiral, Robert Wray, said, “We’re proud to partner with a quality healthcare company like Valor for the VA to deliver better RPM-HT care to the veteran community in the comfort of their own home. As a Service-Disabled Veteran Owned Small Business, we are especially grateful for the opportunity to provide services to fellow veterans.”

“We are both honored and humbled to be selected as one of four contractors to provide RPM-HT services for the VA,” said Dr. Scott Wise, President and CEO of Valor Healthcare. “We have assembled an extraordinary team of RPM-HT technology industry leaders, to include BlueStar TeleHealth, and we are committed to leveraging our collective expertise with this technology, this patient population, and this customer to help VA deliver unparalleled RPM-HT services to the most deserving patient population in the world.”

The remote patient monitoring devices, products, and services BlueStar TeleHealth will provide to the VA via Valor Healthcare will lend greater healthcare flexibility to the over 9 million enrolled veterans in the VA’s Veterans Health Administration.
