Does a Mobile Integrated Health program reduce all-cause ED utilization in patients with congestive heart failure in a rural setting?
Does a Mobile Integrated Health program reduce all-cause ED utilization in patients with congestive heart failure in a rural setting?
A Mobile Integrated Health program in a rural setting may effectively reduce all-cause ED utilization for patients with congestive heart failure.
MIH may lower ED visits in rural HF; extends community care data but leaves open need for RCTs.
Analysis of this MIH program demonstrates efficacy in delivering community-based care to reduce all-cause ED utilization. Prospective studies should be conducted to better assess the effects on inpatient utilization, cost data, and patient satisfaction to evaluate the effectiveness of such programs more holistically.
