The purpose of this study is to compare the effect of implementing wireless remote monitoring combined with structured telephone monitoring, versus current care, on variation in rehospitalization among older patients hospitalized with heart failure at six medical centers.

OTHER

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.
