Electronic Transmission of Laboratory and Adherence Records of Heart Failure Patients to General Practitioners Screen

NCT04326101 · Status: COMPLETED · Type: OBSERVATIONAL · Enrollment: 9

Summary

Patients with heart failure (HF) need multiple guideline-directed medications to control the systolic and/or diastolic ventricular dysfunction. Laboratory measure the biomarker NT-proBNP (N-terminal pro-B type natriuretic peptide) to support clinical decision and to guide treatment at every stage of HF. Many patients (including HF patients) do not follow therapeutic recommendations. Electronic monitoring of medication intake gives precise information over time and is the gold standard to unveil inappropriate behaviour. Electronic Health Records (EHR) are repository of patient health data in digital format and are mostly locally configured in medical practices.

We aim to transmit laboratory results of NT-proBNP and estimates of medication adherence into the EHR system of primary care providers, with the objective to guide treatment and dose adjustment of multiple medications in patients with HF. Our project is \*not\* to develop a telemonitoring system.
