Implementering af Cardiostafet tværsektoriel Samarbejdsmodel Med Telemedicin for Udsatte Patienter Med Hjertesvigt Som Ikke Kan Deltage i Hjerterehabilitering
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.
Inclusion: Patients admitted with acute decompensated heart failure AND:; with previous admission with decompensated heart failure in the three-month period prior to the current admission or; who have two or more admissions in the 6 months prior to the current admission.
Exclusion: Patients who; have refused to share their data for health-quality projects; have already ongoing telemedicine management for heart failure.
