Key result
Hospital-community-family telehealth improves heart failure self-management behaviors like weight and blood pressure tracking.
Why the study?
Patients with chronic heart failure increasingly need convenient and efficient health care systems, especially in remote areas, prompting the evaluation of a hospital-community-family-based telehealth program for remote hierarchical management.

May support telehealth for HF self-management; leaves open confirmation via RCTs before practice change.
Does a hospital-community-family-based telehealth program improve self-management behaviors and satisfaction in patients with chronic heart failure?
A hospital-community-family-based telehealth program is feasible and improves self-management behaviors in patients with chronic heart failure.
Guo et al. (2019) studied Chronic heart failure (CHF) (n=70). Hospital-community-family (HCF)-based telehealth program was evaluated on Accomplishments of the program, usability and satisfaction, engagement with the intervention, and changes of heart failure-related health behaviors. A hospital-community-family-based telehealth program was feasible and significantly improved self-management behaviors such as weight monitoring (P=0.002) and blood pressure tracking (P<0.001).
