   bariatric candidates to meet requirements of
   pre-surgical guidelines

   - Patients opt out of surgery, but continue with
     weight-loss through Thin-Link® System
   - Patients are disqualified from surgery based on
     pre-qualification guidelines

   prior to surgery for an improved success rate

Post–surgical telemanagement of your bariatric patients
A well-designed post-surgical program can ensure success for both the patients and the physicians. Using the Thin-Link® system in your post-surgical bariatric care will provide:

• Early detection of post-surgical complications
   to minimize costly re-admissions

• On-going counseling related to nutrition, exercise
   and behavior change for your patients to ensure
   success and help minimize the need for clinic
   follow-up visits

   benefits the health plan while delivering quality
   care to the patient

Telemanagement of your patients can be done in-house or fully outsourced to Cardiocom. This allows you the flexibility to maximize the cost-savings for your organization.
