A program pilot commenced in April 2020 and aimed to achieve acceptable titration rates for heart failure medications while improving patient access to services. This study aimed to investigate whether the virtual HHH service could deliver feasible, safe and acceptable titration outcomes.MethodsA single-arm observational cohort study design was adopted. Eligible heart failure patients currently receiving care could consent to be enrolled in the pilot virtual HHH program based on pre-defined inclusion and exclusion criteria. Data on patient demographics, clinical characteristics and heart failure medication titration rates were obtained from routine health system databases and patient notes. Patient satisfaction data were collected using a Likert-scale questionnaire. Overall health service use and costs for each patient were obtained from health system databases for a period of 12 months following enrolment in the virtual HHH program.ResultsA total of 89 heart failure patients were included in the evaluation. Of these, 95% reached titration to either guideline-recommended target doses or maximum tolerated doses for both angiotensin-converting enzyme inhibitor/angiotensin receptor blockers/angiotensin and angiotensin receptor-neprilysin inhibitor (ACEI/ARB/ARNI) and beta-blockers combined. The mean number of days to achieve titration ranged from 20.2 days for mineralocorticoid receptor antagonist drugs, between 27.5 to 32.3 days for ACEI/ARB/ARNI drugs and 41.0 days for beta-blockers; 70 (79%) patients completed the satisfaction survey at least once, with more than 98% of survey questions receiving a positive response. The average monthly equipment and consumables cost per patient was $277 in year 2021/22.ConclusionThis study provides evidence that a virtual model of care for newly diagnosed heart failure patients was feasible, safe and acceptable, with high titration rates, relatively rapid times to titration, strong patient satisfaction outcomes and relatively low equipment costs.</p>","PeriodicalId":50024,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Telemedicine and Telecare","volume":" ","pages":"1357633X251318905"},"PeriodicalIF":3.5,"publicationDate":"2025-03-18","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143659575","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The study recruited 916 participants screened with ICD-10 code I50 from 2016 to 2020. After data screening, 210 participants were divided into a remote care group and a control group using propensity score matching. Patients in the remote care group received TC visits for HF management via Bluetooth-enabled equipment, while those in the control group received typical care.ResultsAmong the 587 participants, those who received TC experienced reduced rates of all-cause mortality and readmission within one year, as well as lower rates of cardiovascular disease and HF-related readmission. However, there was no significant difference in cardiovascular disease mortality compared to the control group within one year. Kaplan-Meier time-event curves showed that there were significant differences in survival analysis.DiscussionTC significantly reduced all-cause mortality and rehospitalization rates in HF patients, highlighting its role in enhancing patient outcomes through remote monitoring. Although cardiovascular-specific mortality within one year did not exhibit significant differences, the TC group had fewer HF-related readmissions. This suggests improved disease management and self-care in this group.
