Detailed Description

Dive into the extended narrative that explains the scientific background, objectives, and procedures in greater depth.

This study is a randomized non-inferiority trial for patients with chronic coronary artery disease from a tertiary hospital with outpatient discharge criteria. The purpose is to compare the use of telemedicine in the quality of care transition between tertiary care and primary care patients (intervention group), with patients who remain in the outpatient clinic of a tertiary hospital (control group).

Study Groups

Review each arm or cohort in the study, along with the interventions and objectives associated with them.

Tertiary care

Outpatient from tertiary care with discharge criteria who remains in the tertiary care.

Group Type NO_INTERVENTION

No interventions assigned to this group

Primary care

Outpatient discharge from tertiary care to a primary care near the patient's home with the support of telemedicine.

Group Type EXPERIMENTAL

Telemedicine

Intervention Type OTHER

Outpatient discharge from tertiary care to primary care with a letter of referral explaining about the study containing phone number from telemedicine and a letter with the patient's history in the hospital. Two months after discharge, the telemedicine's cardiologist initiates contact with the primary care's physician about patient follow-up.
