Feldman et al. (2005) conducted an RCT in Heart failure (n=628). Information-based provider e-mail reminders (basic and augmented) vs. Usual care was evaluated on Mean KCCQ summary score improvement (p=<=0.05). Information-based e-mail reminders to home health nurses improved mean KCCQ summary scores by 15.3% (basic) and 12.9% (augmented) relative to usual care (p<=0.05).
