“…In terms of cost effectiveness, the results of the present study are similar to other studies that also demonstrated economic benefits from similar interventions[ 28 – 30 ]. As in previous studies[ 28 , 31 , 32 ] the study population consisted of CHF patients 65 years of age and above with NYHA Class 3–4 severity and repeat, prolonged hospitalizations.…”

BackgroundCongestive heart failure (CHF), a common problem in adults, is associated with multiple hospitalizations, high mortality rates and high costs.PurposeTo evaluate whether home care for homebound patients with CHF reduces healthcare service utilization and overall costs.MethodsA retrospective study of healthcare utilization among homebound patients who received home care for CHF from 2012–1015. The outcome measures were number of hospital admissions per month, total number of hospitalization days and days for CHF only, emergency room visits, and overall costs. A comparison was conducted between the 6-month period prior to entry into home care and the time in home care.ResultsOver the study period 196 patients were treated by home care for CHF with a mean age of 79.4±9.5 years. 113 (57.7%) were women. Compared to the six months prior to home care, there were statistically significant decreases in hospitalizations (46.3%), in the number of total in-hospital days (28.7%), in the number of in-hospital days for CHF (66.7%), in emergency room visits (47%), and in overall costs (23.9%).ConclusionHome care for homebound adults with CHF can reduce healthcare utilization and healthcare costs.

“…Participants were selected from three health care centres by handing out the questionnaires that measure the quality of life based on baseline physical measurements and demographic characters. Another service-evaluation retrospective study that lasts for 12 months, conducted by Eilat-Tsanani et al (2016) in Israel, investigated the change in the quality of life and re-hospitalisation rate of patients. Veenstra et al (2015) conducted an optimized care program with 102 patients in the Netherlands.…”

Telehealth interventions are designed to facilitate the remote exchange of information and data between patients and health care providers, improving the quality and safety of the patients and increasing efficiency and cost-effectiveness of health care providers. The development of telecommunications and virtual technology allowed a number of telehealth systems to be applied in different health care areas. These technologies can provide an alternative monitoring and solutions for decreasing the hospital readmission rates for patients with congestive heart failure (CHF). In this paper, a systematic literature review regarding tele-monitoring and its use in the management of patients with CHF is conducted. The result indicated that a standardized tele-monitoring design would reduce a length of hospitalization and re-hospitalization rate. The other factors that moderate the effectiveness of the tele-monitoring intervention include quality of life, mortality rate, and disease-specific knowledge (health literacy). All these factors align with the consumer-centred principle of The Australian Safety and Quality Framework for Health Care.

“…Corroborando con los estudios anteriores, un estudio de cohorte (18) realizado con 141 pacientes durante un año, se centró en la evolución del servicio de derivación remota, controló el peso, los signos vitales y los signos y síntomas de descompensación cardíaca. Los datos obtenidos sobre peso se transmitieron a un registro médico central y electrónico.…”

“…En el mismo estudio (18) citado anteriormente, la aplicación del puntaje del Instrumento de Calidad de Vida de Minnesota mostró una mejora progresiva en los parámetros trimestralmente; esto, a su vez, puede estar relacionado con un aumento en la confianza en su atención médica debido a la asistencia médica o en relación con una mejora en el vigor físico debido al control de peso. Otro parámetro relevante encontrado fue la disminución en la tasa de hospitalización por persona (4.7 a 2.6 p <0.001).…”

Objetivo: Identificar estrategias de telecuidado para pacientes con insuficiencia cardíaca que colaboran para la adhesión al tratamiento.Material y Método: Revisión integrativa de la literatura realizada en las bases de datos CINAHL, PubMed, Scielo y LILACS. La elaboración del problema fue guiada por la estrategia PICO que originó la siguiente pregunta: ¿Cuáles son las estrategias del telecuidado para los pacientes con insuficiencia cardíaca que contribuyen a su adhesión al tratamiento?Resultados: Dieciséis artículos atendieron a los criterios definidos por el estudio y por lo tanto, participaron del análisis de esta revisión.Conclusión: El telecuidado posibilita el acompañamiento de un número mayor de pacientes, contribuyendo al control de signos y síntomas de la insuficiencia cardiaca. Favorece la optimización de los tratamientos farmacológico y no farmacológico disminuyendo tasas de re-hospitalización y mortalidad. Objective: Identify tele-monitoring strategies for patients with heart failure who collaborate for adherence when it comes to treatment.Material and Method: Integrative review of the literature carried out in the databases CINAHL, PubMed, Scielo and LILACS. The elaboration of the problem was guided by the PICO strategy that gave rise to the following question: "What are the tele-monitoring strategies for patients with heart failure that contribute to their adherence to treatment?".Results: Sixteen articles met the criteria defined by the study and, therefore, participated in the analysis of this review.Conclusion: Tele-monitoring allows the monitoring of a larger number of patients, contributing to the control of signs and symptoms of heart failure. Also, It favors the optimization of pharmacological and non-pharmacological treatments, reducing rates of rehospitalization and mortality.
