A collaborative care intervention integrating palliative and psychosocial care is feasible and acceptable for outpatients with chronic heart failure.
Bekelman et al. (2013) studied chronic heart failure (n=17). CASA (Collaborative Care to Alleviate Symptoms and Adjust to Illness) intervention was evaluated on Feasibility (cohort retention rate, medical recommendation implementation rate, missing data, quality of care) and acceptability. The CASA collaborative care intervention was feasible in outpatients with chronic heart failure, with 85% of medical recommendations implemented and less than 5% missing data.
