Brief Summary

Nottingham Primary Care Trust has launched telemonitoring to support: independent living and self-management ability of people with congestive heart failure (CHF), chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) and co-morbidities; and reduce the health care utilisation associated with these patients, including the number of hospitalisations, GP visits and community matron and specialist community nurse home visits. The Multidisciplinary Assessment of Technology Centre for Healthcare (MATCH) will evaluate the technology and its impact of this telemonitoring system on quality of care (i.e. process measures), patient outcomes and direct healthcare costs from an NHS perspective.

Study Population

Patients with congestive heart failure (CHF), chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) and co-morbidities referred to the community specialist nurse or care matron

You may qualify if:

• Participants selected will be those: diagnosed with CHF, COPD or co-morbidities and referred to the community management service by its selection procedure for severity of the condition; are considered eligible for home-based telemonitoring; consent to receiving telemonitoring; have an active phone connection; are able to read and speak English (language of the equipment); are capable and willing to use the home monitoring device.

You may not qualify if:

• Patients are considered ineligible: if they have psychological or psychiatric disorders; if they have a cognitive deficiency that makes them unable to participate in their self-treatment; if they have a visual or motor deficiency that renders them incapable of using the telemonitoring device (unless a spouse or an informal caregiver is able to help); if they are currently scheduled for a hospital admission; if their life expectancy is shorter than 2 years; or if they already participate in another study.
