CCN Health provides a certified Chronic Care Management (CCM) integration with August Health designed specifically for home health agencies, featuring respiratory monitoring technology. The platform automates clinical documentation, enables real-time monitoring, and generates Medicare billing records for compliant reimbursement.
Respiratory Monitoring for Home Health CCM with August Health
Respiratory Monitoring brings a distinct advantage to CCM programs in home health agencies. Combination of pulse oximetry (SpO2), respiratory rate tracking via sensorless radar, and spirometry data capture enables comprehensive respiratory monitoring. Peak flow meters and connected spirometers transmit readings automatically to the CCN Health platform. Combined with CCN Health's August Health integration, patients benefit from continuous monitoring without additional clinical team burden.
Why Respiratory Monitoring for Home Health
Home Health agencies serve patients receiving skilled nursing or therapy services in their homes, often managing chronic conditions between agency visits. Respiratory Monitoring is particularly relevant because:
- Multi-sensor approach captures complete respiratory picture
- Combines SpO2, respiratory rate, and airflow measurements
- Early detection of COPD exacerbations before hospitalization
How Respiratory Monitoring Works
Combination of pulse oximetry (SpO2), respiratory rate tracking via sensorless radar, and spirometry data capture enables comprehensive respiratory monitoring. Peak flow meters and connected spirometers transmit readings automatically to the CCN Health platform.
Data Captured
- SpO2 (blood oxygen saturation)
- Respiratory rate
- Peak expiratory flow
- FEV1 trending
- Breathing pattern analysis
Benefits for Home Health Agencies
Between-Visit Monitoring
Continuous data capture fills the gaps between scheduled home visits with objective vital sign data.
Reduced Hospitalizations
Early alerts enable clinical response before conditions require emergency department visits.
Clinician Efficiency
Automated charting reduces documentation burden, allowing clinicians to focus on direct patient care.
Respiratory Monitoring vs. Traditional Approaches
| Factor | Respiratory Monitoring | Traditional |
|---|---|---|
| Scope | SpO2 + RR + spirometry combined | Individual tests at office visits |
| Frequency | Daily monitoring with trending | Quarterly pulmonary function tests |
| Exacerbation Detection | Real-time pattern-based alerts | Patient-reported symptoms |
| Data Integration | All data in one platform | Fragmented across systems |
| Therapy Tracking | Inhaler and treatment compliance | Self-reported adherence |
Common Conditions in Home Health
- heart failure
- COPD
- diabetes
- post-surgical
- wound care
- medication management

CCM is a Medicare program that reimburses providers for non-face-to-face care coordination for patients with two or more chronic conditions, billed under CPT codes 99490, 99439, and 99491.
Home health agencies use RPM to monitor patients between visits, receive real-time alerts for concerning readings, and document care coordination to support billing and compliance.
Respiratory monitoring tracks breathing rate and patterns using connected devices or sensorless technology, enabling early detection of respiratory decline in patients with COPD, asthma, and other pulmonary conditions.
Most facilities are fully operational within 2–4 weeks. CCN Health handles device provisioning, EHR integration setup, staff training, and ongoing clinical support.
