Telemonitoring in heart failure may reduce hospital admissions and improve quality of life.
Why the study?
Telemonitoring is an innovative approach in heart failure care that may reduce hospital admissions and improve quality of life and clinical outcomes, but its evidence base and implementation require exploration.

Telemonitoring may ease heart failure burden on patients and NHS; leaves open optimal nurse protocols for alert response.
Telemonitoring involves remotely monitoring patients' vital signs. It is an innovative and promising development in the care of people with heart failure that may reduce hospital admissions and the burden on the NHS, as well as improve patients' quality of life and clinical outcomes. This article describes what telemonitoring is and explores the evidence base for its use. The role of the nurse in telemonitoring is also discussed, with particular reference to dealing with and responding to alerts. The development and implementation of new technology is essential to improve the delivery of healthcare and optimise patient outcomes, and telemonitoring may play an important role in the future of heart failure services.
