Does augmenting HF care management with automated calls and caregiver feedback improve self-care in HF patients?
An automated assessment and caregiver feedback program is highly feasible and may improve self-care behaviors in heart failure patients.
Piette et al. (2008) studied Heart failure (n=52). Augmented HF care management with automated calls and caregiver feedback was evaluated on Assessment completion rate. An augmented heart failure care management program involving out-of-home caregivers was feasible, achieving a 92% assessment completion rate and prompting self-care changes in 75% of patients.
