Outcome measures
Primary outcome
Less unplanned contact moments in the hospital
Secondary outcome
Earlier treatment (medication or hospitalization), reduce healthcare costs, increased patient statisfaction
Background summary
usage of HartWacht (telemonitoring) in patients with a congenital heart disease to determine if telemonitoring reduces the number of unplanned hospital visits. Half of the patients receive their normal care, the other half receives a single lead EKG, blood pressure monitor and a scale. Patients measure blood pressure and weight twice a week and make an EKG once a month. When feeling bad, the patient can make extra recordings. Feedback will be given to every recording. After two years the number of unplanned hospital visits, number of calls to the hospital / cardiologist, and the number of presentations on the ER will be compared between the two groups. Besides looking at the number of contact moments between hospital and patient, we will also assess the quality of live by means of the EuroQoL-5D-5L, SF-36, and the PAM-13 questionnaires.
