Key result
A Delphi panel of seven clinicians and policy makers reached consensus that educational materials, follow-up phone calls, cardiac rehabilitation, group sessions, and staff training are feasible heart failure interventions in Jordan.
Why the study?
Interventions must align with health system context and capacity, and identifying the most feasible and appropriate heart failure interventions in Jordan is needed to improve management and outcomes.
What are the most feasible and appropriate heart failure interventions in the Jordan healthcare system?
What are the most feasible and appropriate heart failure interventions in the Jordan healthcare system?
In the Jordanian healthcare system, basic interventions like education and phone follow-ups are deemed feasible for heart failure management, while resource-intensive strategies like multidisciplinary teams and telemonitoring are not.
Basic HF interventions appear feasible in Jordan; leaves open their effectiveness in local outcome trials.
Interventions and strategies should align with the context and capacity of the health system. Identifying the most feasible and appropriate heart failure interventions in Jordan will improve heart failure management and clinical outcomes. Therefore, this study aimed to derive consensus from clinicians (using the Delphi method) regarding the most feasible and appropriate heart failure interventions in Jordan. A two-round Delphi study involving seven clinicians and policy makers were conducted. The Delphi results found consensus for the feasibility of the educational materials, follow up phone call, cardiac rehabilitation, group session, and training courses for staff. The components that were not feasible were: multidisciplinary team, individual session, and telemonitoring devices. The present study demonstrates the importance of utilizing interventions tailored to patients' characteristics and aligned with the capacity of healthcare system.
