Sponsor

University Hospital Bispebjerg and Frederiksberg

Enrollment

Study Type

OBSERVATIONAL

Conditions

Summary

The goal of this observational study is to explore the potential of implementing a telemedicine-based cross-sector collaboration model to manage patients with frequent admissions with decompensated heart failure. The main question(s) it aims to answer are: * Characterization of conditions that make these patients vulnerable * Description of key-elements that makes possible to manage the patients with the cardio-share model Participants are: * Patients - will be helped to use the available telemedicine tools * General Practitioners - will be offered teleconferences with cardiologists (chat and video) on demand * Community health workers (caregivers at the patient home or in elderly home) - will be guided to assist the patients to use the available telemedicine tools Researchers will compare readmission rates (primary outcome) and quality of life of patients where the cardio-share management model is successfully implemented one year before and after the implementation.


Eligibility

Inclusion Criteria3

  • Patients admitted with acute decompensated heart failure AND:
  • with previous admission with decompensated heart failure in the three-month period prior to the current admission or
  • who have two or more admissions in the 6 months prior to the current admission.

Exclusion Criteria3

  • Patients who
  • have refused to share their data for health-quality projects
  • have already ongoing telemedicine management for heart failure

Interventions

OTHERTelemedicine-based cross-sector collaboration for patient management

Telemedicine support from the hospital-based cardiology heart-failure team is provided on demand defined by the needs from Primary Care and from the patient rather than plain guideline-based targets
