The purpose of the present investigation is to examine the impact of a telemanagement component on an outpatient disease management program in patients with heart failure (HF). A total of 282 patients in whom HF was diagnosed and who were enrolled in an outpatient HF program were included in this analysis. One hundred fifty-eight patients additionally participated in a self-directed telemanagement component. The remaining 124 patients received care at an HF clinic but declined telemanagement. During the 7-month tracking period, 19 patients in the HF clinic plus telemanagement group and 53 patients in the HF clinic only group were hospitalized for cardiac reasons (log rank, 36.0; P<.001). The HF clinic only group had a significantly higher risk for hospitalization (hazard ratio, 4.0; 95% confidence interval, 2.4-6.7; P<.001). The results of the present study indicate that telemanagement is an important component of a disease management program in patients with HF.
