Datex-Ohmeda To Focus More On Home Care Market Tewksbury, Mass Datex-Ohmeda has created a Continuing Care division to bring enhanced customer service and quality products to health care providers and their patients in home care, subacute and long-term care settings.

Through the new unit, customers will have access to respiratory and jaundice products designed to work in diverse settings. Sales representatives will also offer product training, and a toll-free 800 number will link to a technician for technical support.

"We recognize that nurses, respiratory therapists and other providers that care for patients outside the hospital are being asked to deliver increasingly higher levels of care," said Stuart Wildhorn, the division's director of sales and marketing. "Our goal is to help these providers deliver quality patient care as efficiently and cost-effectively as possible."
