Study Groups
Review each arm or cohort in the study, along with the interventions and objectives associated with them.
Current Care
Patients will receive the current care provided to heart failure patients at each of the study sites
No interventions assigned to this group
Care Transition Intervention
Care transition intervention beginning prior to discharge and through six months post-discharge.
Structured Telephone / Remote Outpatient Monitoring
During their hospitalization, patients will receive education on their condition and will be taught to use a wireless remote monitoring device that they will use from home on a daily basis for six months following hospital discharge. Patients will receive structured telephone phone calls from a centralized call center nurse at least once a week for the first month post-discharge, and monthly for the remainder of the six month study period. Patients may receive additional calls depending upon the information gathered during the scheduled call center phone calls and/or their health status as ascertained by the data (weight, heart rate, blood pressure, answers to general health and heart failure-related questions) transmitted daily by the wireless remote monitoring device.
