E-Coaching: IVR-Enhanced Care Transition Support for Complex Patients

University of Alabama at Birmingham·interventional·Posted Jun 2, 2010·Updated Jun 3, 2013

In Brief

A clinical study evaluating IVR-Enhanced Care for Congestive Heart Failure and Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease. Completed, enrolled 511 participants across 1 site.

Detailed Summary

For complex medical patients, the transition from hospital to home-based care is a vulnerable period, placing the patient at high risk for adverse events. Using a Care Transition conceptual model, the investigators propose developing and evaluating, through a randomized controlled trial, "e-Coach," an Interactive-Voice-Response-supported (IVR) Care Transition coaching intervention, focused initially on patients hospitalized with heart failure or obstructive lung disease. This trial will test the primary hypothesis that the proportion of patients with one or more re-hospitalizations during a 90-day post-discharge follow-up period will be less in an IVRsupported care transition intervention (e-Coach) compared to a "usual care" comparison group.

Interventions

IVR-Enhanced Carebehavioral

Those randomized to e-Coach will receive initial coaching in the hospital and then will be called by the interactive voice response-supported (IVR) system at specified intervals after discharge for monitoring. Any red flags noted through the IVR monitoring system will be transmitted to the care transition coaches, who contact patients and coach them on how to address problems identified.
