Team based collaborative care model, facilitated by a mHealth enabled and trained nurse, for management of heart failure in India (TIME-HF): design and rationale of a parallel group, open label, multi-centric cluster randomized controlled trial
Key result
Nurse-led mHealth collaborative care targets heart failure survival and hospital-free days in the TIME-HF trial.
- n=1,500
Why the study?
In resource-poor settings, complex heart failure management is hindered by barriers to physician-driven initiatives, warranting evaluation of a nurse-facilitated collaborative care model supported by mHealth.
Does a nurse-led team based collaborative care model with mHealth support improve overall survival and days alive and out of hospital in heart failure patients?
Population
More than 1500 HF patients across 22 tertiary hospitals in India
Comparison
Nurse-facilitated collaborative care model with mHealth support vs not specified
Design
Parallel group, open-label, multicentric cluster randomized controlled trial
Follow-up
Two-years

Cite This Study
Jeemon et al. (2023) conducted an RCT in Heart failure (n=1,500). Team based collaborative care model (CCM) with mHealth support was evaluated on Overall survival and days alive and out of hospital (DAOH) at two-years. The TIME-HF trial is a cluster randomized controlled trial designed to evaluate a nurse-led collaborative care model with mHealth support for heart failure management in >1500 patients in India.
