Qualitative Analysis of a Remote Monitoring Intervention for Managing Heart Failure.


ABSTRACT: Background : Heart failure (HF) is one of the most common reasons for hospital admission and is a major cause of morbidity, mortality, and increasing health care costs. The EMPOWER study was a randomized trial that used remote monitoring technology to track patients' weight and diuretic adherence and a state-of-the-art approach derived from behavioral economics to motivate adherence to the reverse monitoring technology. Objective : The goal was to explore patient and clinician perceptions of the program and its impact on health outcomes and better understand why some patients/clinicians did better/worse than others in response to the intervention. Approach : This was a retrospective qualitative study to understand the trial's processes, reflecting on successes and areas for improvement for future iterations of behavioral economic interventions. Key Results: Many patients felt supported, and they appreciated the intervention. Many also appreciated the lottery intervention, and while it was not an incentive for enrolling for many respondents, it may have increased adherence during the study. Clinicians felt that the intervention integrated well into their workflow, but the number of alerts was burdensome. Additionally, responses to alerts varied considerably by provider, perhaps because there are no professional guidelines for alerts unaccompanied by severe symptoms. Conclusion : Those interviews offer insights into the potential reasons for the study's null result and opportunities for improvements in the future. Trial Registration: ClinicalTrials.gov Identifier: NCT02708654.
