Detailed description

This prospective, comparative study uses a pre-post test design to ascertain if the implementation of remote patient management systems utilizing AHA guideline-based heart failure protocols and educational content can successfully address the following objectives: * validate the suitability of the Intel Health Guide to deploy AHA guideline-based patient care protocols and health content to patients managing congestive heart failure * confirm that the AHA protocols as deployed on the HGS are supportive for clinicians following the AHA guidelines in a telehealth environment * validate and verify that the data intended to be collected was effectively collected * measure patient and provider satisfaction with use of the system

Conditions

• Heart Failure

Interventions

Type	Name	Description
DEVICE	Health Guide using AHA heart failure protocols and content	Participants in the study will receive the use of the Intel Health Guide, a telehealth device, with AHA customized heart failure protocols, response algorithms and educational content. Participants interact with the Intel Health Guide device, receiving immediate feedback when transmitting vitals measures and health question responses to a site monitored by their nurse case managers. Nurse case managers review and address concerns raised in vitals and/or question responses through standard care protocols established by their institution. Nurse case managers strive to enhance the participants quality of life, support continuity of care, facilitate provision of services in the appropriate setting to promote positive health outcomes.
