About this study
Official title: Prospective Registry for the Evaluation of an Organizational Model for Remote Monitoring of Pacemaker and Implantable Cardioverter Defibrillator (ICD) Recipients in the Clinical Practice
The purpose of the registry is to evaluate an organizational model fixing roles and behaviors of subjects involved in the remote monitoring of patients implanted with pacemakers and defibrillators.
The evaluation will estimate the clinical efficiency and the impact on health service resources of the organizational model when this is implemented in the daily clinical practice.
Read the detailed description
After a number of studies which assessed technical reliability and clinical implications of remote monitoring systems, a further step should approach the issue of how remote monitoring can be implemented as a part of routine activities of a cardiology outpatient clinic. A clear definition of roles and workflow to timely manage information and properly react to adverse events is required. The HomeGuide Registry proposes an organizational model specifying roles and procedures for outpatient clinics using a specific remote monitoring system in routine follow-up. The HomeGuide model is essentially based on an interaction between one or more allied professionals (expert and trained nurses or technicians) and a responsible physician. The main objective of the HomeGuide Registry is to evaluate:
- Clinical efficiency of remote patient management;
- Health service resources required by a remote patient management.
- Conditions
- Pacemaker, Implantable Cardioverter Defibrillator
- Being tested
- Organizational model for remote monitoring
- Keywords
- Home Monitoring, Remote monitoring, Telecardiology, Organizational model, Patient indicated for pacemaker, ICD, CRT-P, or CRT-D
What participants receive
What participants receive. In a randomised study each person is assigned to one group by chance.
Organizational model for remote monitoringBehavioural
Also called Biotronik Home Monitoring
An organizational model defining roles and behaviors of subjects involved in the remote monitoring of pacemaker and defibrillator recipients
| Study group | Role | What they receive |
|---|---|---|
| Cardiac Implantable Device recipients | Not described Receives: Behavioral: Organizational model for remote monitoring |
What is being measured
The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.
