Telemedicine-based cross-sector collaboration for patient management: Telemedicine support from the hospital-based cardiology heart-failure team is provided on demand defined by the needs from Primary Care and from the patient rather than plain guideline-based targets
The goal of this observational study is to explore the potential of implementing a telemedicine-based cross-sector collaboration model to manage patients with frequent admissions with decompensated heart failure. The main question(s) it aims to answer are:
* Characterization of conditions that make these patients vulnerable
* Description of key-elements that makes possible to manage the patients with the cardio-share model
Participants are:
* Patients - will be helped to use the available telemedicine tools
* General Practitioners - will be offered teleconferences with cardiologists (chat and video) on demand
* Community health workers (caregivers at the patient home or in elderly home) - will be guided to assist the patients to use the available telemedicine tools Researchers will compare readmission rates (primary outcome) and quality of life of patients where the cardio-share management model is successfully implemented one year before and after the implementation.
