PY - 2017 DA - 2017/01/17 TI - Simulated case management of home telemonitoring to assess the impact of different alert algorithms on work-load and clinical decisions JO - BMC Medical Informatics and Decision Making SP - 11 VL - 17 IS - 1 AB - Home telemonitoring (HTM) of chronic heart failure (HF) promises to improve care by timely indications when a patient’s condition is worsening. Simple rules of sudden weight change have been demonstrated to generate many alerts with poor sensitivity. Trend alert algorithms and bio-impedance (a more sensitive marker of fluid change), should produce fewer false alerts and reduce workload. However, comparisons between such approaches on the decisions made and the time spent reviewing alerts has not been studied.
