Multimodal Collaborative Care for Heart Failure in Resource-Limited Settings

“Improving adherence to medications and healthy lifestyles is an important area of investigation in HF, and this study focused on transitional care for HF is one of the largest with the longest follow-up from South Asia.”

“Taken together, the data suggest that a structured, nurse-coordinated, technology-enabled delivery model may offer a practical strategy to improve heart failure outcomes in routine care. We believe this model is not only relevant to low- and middle-income countries but also to other settings around the world where adherence to guideline-directed medical therapies is suboptimal.”

“TIME-HF advances the science of heart failure implementation by connecting a nurse-coordinated collaborative care intervention with changes in evidence-based prescribing and subsequent clinical outcomes in patients with [HFrEF]. Its broader contribution may be the demonstration that nurses, supported by digital tools and collaborative authority, can serve as the implementation infrastructure for high-value cardiovascular care.”
