| Focus | Telemonitoring, the use of communication technology to remotely monitor health status, is an appealing strategy for improving disease management. |
| Outcome | Six studies suggested reduction in all-cause and heart failure hospitalizations (14% to 55% and 29% to 43%, respectively) or mortality (40% to 56%) with telemonitoring. Of the 3 negative studies, 2 enrolled low-risk patients and patients with access to high quality care while 1 enrolled a very high risk Hispanic population. |
