Telehealth Self Management for CHF

Summary

People with heart failure (HF) are hospitalized over a million times a year in the US at a cost over $39 billion dollars. About half of the patients are readmitted within 30 days. Despite a number of institutional reforms, cost and readmissions remain high in the VA. The VA Home Telehealth (HT) monitoring program decreases preventable readmissions, but HF readmissions remain increased in the VA. Despite an active and effective HT program, the Charleston VAMC has the highest HF readmission rate in VISN 7. Though the HT program introduces communication, self-management, and shared decision-making in initial training, previous QUERI RRP evaluation identified lower than expected levels of specific communication practices associated with the promotion of HF self-management and shared decision-making, mediated by the requirements of the technology.

BEHAVIORAL

Teaching for Interactive Patient Self-Management (TIPS) for Heart Failure (HF

The curriculum plan adapts components from the Rochester Participatory Decision-Making Scale (RPAD) and recent advances in communication skills training for chronic disease to develop a valid and reliable intervention specific to Home Telehealth (HT) shared decision making, effective telehealth communication, and patient self-management for heart failure (HF), using established best-practices and Veteran input. Veteran volunteers will participate in video recorded simulations to promote nurse care coordinator (NCC) active participation and problem-solving during the course. Scenarios are taken from transcribed actual HT interactions from the first exploratory RRP study of HT. The course is set up as one live session, one online module, and a final live session for more difficult conversations.
