Participant Flow

Recruitment began on 11/21/09 and completed on 08/07/10. Interested subjects who passed a phone prescreen were seen at the study center or in their homes for consenting and additional study procedures to determine eligibility.

If study subjects consented to be in study and were found to be eligible, they were randomized to be in study. If they were randomized to receive the telemonitor, within 3-5 days the study team make arrangements to go to their home to install the telemonitor.

Measure
Home Telemonitoring
The Intel Health Guide is an FDA approved device that is placed within the patient's home and is connected to the health system via broadband internet, 3G network or phone line. This device has video monitoring which allows a real time face to face interaction with the provider. This allows for an individualized home care plan based upon multiple concerns which have not been adequately studied. Intel Health Guide : The Intel Health Guide is an FDA approved device that is placed within the patient's home and is connected to the health system via broadband internet, 3G network or phone line.
Usual Care
The usual care intervention will include appropriate primary care and specialty office practice visits as required. It also includes home health care, timely post-hospital outpatient visits, a nurse generated phone call progress report within one business day of hospital dismissal, and standard clinic phone triage during business hours. It also involves a 24 hour nurse triage line for questions. Patients will be informed of the general options currently available to patients including the above as well as options for care in extended hours and at Mayo Express care.
