Developing a Home Telehealth Program to Manage Pressure Ulcers in SCI/D
In Brief
A clinical study evaluating Daily telephone calls and Weekly telephone calls for Spinal Cord Injury. Completed, enrolled 18 participants across 2 sites.
Detailed Summary
The Veteran's Health Administration (VHA) is a national leader in using distance technology to monitor patients' self-care via an in-home messaging device with disease management protocols (DMPs). No such DMPs exist for the community dwelling spinal cord injury/disorders (SCI/D) population. Our objective is to develop the tools necessary for implementing a new home telehealth program to manage community-dwelling veterans with SCI/D at high risk of developing pressure ulcers (PrUs).
